“From the day your baby is born, you are a teacher of spirit. Look upon spirituality as a skill in living, since that is what it is. I believe in imparting these skills as early as possible by whatever means a child can understand.
The Seven Spiritual Laws from ancient Indian Vedic concepts offer a framework for achieving success by aligning with natural laws and understanding one’s spiritual potential. The Laws speak of a profound truth: success depends on who you are, not what you do. They govern the unfolding of spirit as it moves from the invisible world of the soul to the visible world of matter.
The Seven Spiritual Laws are given new life when used to help our children. We can take them to heart and apply them the same way we would apply teaching the telling of truth or being fair. If a critical mass of our children are raised to practice The Seven Spiritual Laws, our whole civilization will be transformed.
“In adult language, the Seven Spiritual Laws are stated as follows:
FIRST LAW – The Law Of Pure Potentiality – The source of all creation is pure consciousness … pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest.
SECOND LAW – The Law Of Giving – In our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.
THIRD LAW – The Law Of “Karma” – When we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.
FOURTH LAW – The Law Of Least Effort – Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease … with carefreeness, harmony, and love. When we harness these forces, we create success with the same effortless ease.
FIFTH LAW – The Law Of Intention And Desire – Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for their fulfillment … in the field of pure potentiality, intention and desire have infinite organizing power.
SIXTH LAW – The Law Of Detachment – In our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
SEVENTH LAW – The Law Of “Dharma” – When we blend our unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.
The language of the Seven Spiritual Laws has to be different when spoken to a child, less abstract. Fortunately, the same laws can be phrased so that even a young child is able to carry them around in mind and heart.
First Law – Everything is possible.
Second Law – If you want to get something, give it.
Third Law – When you make a choice, you change the future.
Fourth Law – Don’t say no — go with the flow.
Fifth Law – Every time you wish or want, you plant a seed.
Sixth Law – Enjoy the journey.
Seventh Law – You are here for a reason.
The deepest desire in a parent’s heart is to see one’s child achieve success in life, yet how many of us realize that the most direct way to success is through spirit? Every parent needs tools to raise children with a true understanding of the workings of nature and consciousness. A child raised with spiritual skills will be able to be strong enough to withstand the harsh realities of an often unspiritual world.”
