I am copying and pasting from other information, but I think this is important stuff so I want to include in my own blog as well. Besides, I think that Karma dictates that I ought to re-post the 12 Laws, so that I may learn from them and I can share them with others. Any way, here they are:
The 12 Laws of Karma
1. The Great Law
“As you sow, so shall you reap.”
Also known as the Law of Cause and Effect – whatever we put out in the universe is what comes back to us.
2. The Law of Creation
“You attract what you are, not what you want.”
Life requires our participation. Do what you want to have in your life. Or, like Ghandi, “be the change you want to see in the world.”
3. The Law of Humility
“What you resist, persists for you.” If we speak badly about other people, than those same values will be cast upon us. In other words, except others for who they are, don’t judge, and worry about your own actions. “The path to liberation is the path of humility.”
4. The Law of Growth
“Wherever you go, there you are.”
If we are unhappy in a current town, then moving to a new town won’t necessarily make us happier. We must change who we are within our heart, and then our lives will changs, too.
5. The Law of Responsibility
“Whenever there is something wrong, there is something wrong in me.”
Also known as The Law of Mirrors – we mirror what surrounds us. We must take responsibility for what is in our lives.
6. The Law of Connection
“Whatever you do may be insignificant, but it is still important that you do it.”
Each step leads to the next step and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance. They are both needed to accomplish the task.
7. The Law of Focus
“You can’t think of two things at the same time.”
Be pure of thought and pure of intent. Stay single-minded and focus on tasks at hand.
8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality
“If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you must demonstrate that truth.”
In other words, practice what you preach! In order to have values in life, we must first practice those values.
9. The Law of Here and Now
“You can’t go home again, but you must try.”
We must examine our past in order to learn from it, but we can never go back into our past. Dwelling on old dreams prevent us from having new ones. Life moves forward, and so must we.
10. The Law of Change
“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
History will repeat itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path. Sort of like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day.”
11. The Law of Patience and Reward
“When you focus on your life, good things will happen.”
All rewards require initial toil. Anything that is good and worth lasting value will require patience and persistence. True joy follows doing what we’re suppose to be doing and waiting for the reward to come in its own time.
12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration
“What you put into it, you will get back.”
The Law of Reciprocity, Cause and Effect, and Karma! The value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it. Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the whole.
Good stuff
