You exist.<\/h5>\n<h5>2. The One is in the All and the All is in the One.<\/h5>\n<h5>3.\u00a0 What you put out is what you get back.<\/h5>\n<h5>4. Change is the only constant (other than the first three laws).<\/h5>\n<p>My learning of worthiness is in the first law.\u00a0 I exist due to the action of the creator. I am made in his image. I am worthy.<br \/>\nThe second law ties together the understanding of God as all that is and that everyone and everything that I encountered is sacred.\u00a0 God is all that is so thereby everyone I encounter and all of nature are aspects of God.<br \/>\nThe third law I have learned many lesson from, &#8216;you reap what you sow&#8217; I have returned to many times in my writings when becoming aware of my own nature.\u00a0 Basically we are truly beings of vibrational energy and we attract like energies to ourselves and repel that which is un-like us.<br \/>\nThe fourth law is the work of acceptance.\u00a0 We humans wish to be safe and comfortable in our human life with everything being as we have planned.\u00a0 We struggle against change pretending that for life to be good it must remain the way we have told ourselves it must be.<br \/>\nAs I think over all of the lessons I have learned I am able see where they fall into these Laws; this realization has me looking forward to my future life of having these tools to help me with acceptance and understanding of what may come.<br \/>\n<em>Why Lord are we not able to start this life remembering these laws?<\/em><br \/>\nThe answer that comes to my mind is of duality and that life on Earth being one of the few places where the All can experience light and dark.<br \/>\nIn a Q&amp;A clip I listened to last night of Bashar, he was asked if all channelled entities feel as though they are teaching a kindergarten class when working with us humans.\u00a0 Bashar quickly corrected this thought of our being unknowing. He said that the choice we made to come to this human life of great limitations, with the knowing that we can still work our way through the dark to bring in light and Love, makes us great Masters.\u00a0 Bashar said we should never think less of ourselves.<br \/>\n<em>So now I know these things what shall I do with it? <\/em><br \/>\nI am feeling good that I have received the understanding that I sought.\u00a0 I can imagine myself sharing what I know with my loved ones and wishing that I can be the cause of their own breaking through to awareness.<br \/>\nThe messages of this morning are that I can not &#8211; at least not in the way that my ego imagines.\u00a0 As much as my ego wants me to start speaking all that I know, my higher self knows that the words can not be heard until the other person is ready to hear.<br \/>\nJoel Osteen said this morning to bring the light to others by being the example.\u00a0 Others have their own journey and their own free will.\u00a0 My role is to live as my true self being an example of light and Love, so that perhaps someday the other, when tired of their struggles, will look outward for an example of another way to be.<br \/>\nJoel used the quote, \u201cPeople don&#8217;t care how much you know until they know how much you care\u201d which I found is attributed to John C. Maxwell.<br \/>\nSo I am going to keep walking my path around the mountain with my heart and mind open to all wisdom that the Universe may send my way.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know what all this wisdom may be preparing me for but for now \u201cI am Loving it!\u201d<br \/>\nNamaste&#8217;<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
