Most of us who have attended school, have probably learnt about some principles that operate in the outer Universe, discovered by scientists, such as the law of gravity. These are usually called natural laws or mathematical laws. However, there are other laws that rule the hidden spiritual planes, which you most likely have never heard of at school, especially if you grew up in a Western society.
Have you heard of the 88 universal laws?
The 88 Universal Laws rule all aspects of creation, events, conditions and circumstances experienced by everyone personally or collectively.
If you look at ancient mystical and esoteric teachings dating back over 5,000 years from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece and to the Vedic tradition of Ancient India, you’ll find out that all have as their common thread these Spiritual Laws of the Universe.

Why are the Universal Laws important?
No matter how many Universal Laws you believe to exist, once you start understanding, applying and aligning yourself with some of them, you will start experiencing transformation in every area of your life beyond that which you have ever dared to imagine.
All humans incarnate on Earth to experience life in a physical body and evolve in consciousness (consciousness evolution journey). You can see it as a test in order to ascend towards enlightenment. This Planet is the place where we learn our lessons in the form of experiences, people’s encounters and life events. All these experiences are the effects of laws we apply with our thoughts and actions. The laws that we apply, manifest in the form of 3D situations, and determine whether or not we pass those tests.
Therefore, the awareness and understanding of these laws will help us deal with our life circumstances and master the lessons that we come across daily. The consciousness evolution journey is not an easy path and it can take many lifetimes to reach enlightenment. We will keep returning to Earth to experience the same challenges until we resolve those issues.
It is then useful to know the Universal Laws to gain a better, well-rounded knowledge of how the Universe works so that with conscious daily effort and patience, we can establish laws of greater harmony and harvest abundance at all levels in our lives.
