There are undoubtedly various physical or scientific laws in existence, that govern our physical world, such as the law of gravity, or the law of thermodynamics, for example, but are there also spiritual laws that govern the inner worlds, and which have an outer influence, even reaching into our physical world too?
"As above, so below", is an old acronym that also is true in its reverse. This means that there are compartmentalised laws in the inner worlds as well.
They all come under the great one law of love though, which simply states, that God is love, and that love is all of God, or in other words, God's energy of love is within all things, and is responsible for all things being.
The way that this love energy works is governed by these other lesser laws so to speak, such as the law of karma, the law of reversed effort, and the law of reciprocity.
Everyone knows the law of karma, what you sow, you will repay later on, but nobody much knows too many of the other spiritual laws.
The law of reversed effort for example, refers to the amount of effort put out by you in order to change anything to your own liking or interest, and the more that you do put out, the more that you have to put out, as nothing is accomplished by trying to change what is.
Change is only possible by going with the flow that grows and changes you spontaneously in the way that you are meant to be growing, without any side branches growing you away from the main trunk, which are in need of pruning off.
Does anyone else know any of these spiritual laws, apart from the ten commandments, that is, of Christianity.
The spiritual law of uniqueness is another one of these laws. This one states that everything is forever changing, meaning that everything is ever new, and ever unique. The past is closed off. It never repeats itself, exactly so.

The whole of creation, that our universe is part of, works on the basis of not only science as we can even imagine. To get it going for billions of years without 'dropping the ball' is unbelievable skill from a human point of view.
I used to wonder what the great masters knew but did not convey. Or humans have limitations and boundaries that we cannot cross try as we may.
There are only guidelines about how we should live in Hinduism and nothing set in stone. I think this applies to Buddhism too. I follow one rule that has served me well - treat others "better" than I like to be treated. That means make a positive contribution to the creative process - siva

thanks siva. It sounds like you try to be a positive growth factor within this creative process. Your one rule, a good one would certainly help you here, I hope you treat yourself well too, and that you are not too hard on yourself trying to treat others better than yourself.

@Shiva49 Yes, we might well be all the same just under the surface, but the beauty of life is than most of us have something that is much deeper than this within us.
At this deeper level, we are still all the same, in substance, but all different, from our experiences, unique to each one of us, and yet, as you point out, our journeys are all taking us to the same place, in the same direction, but the beauty of it is too, that everybody's view is different, so if we share views along the way, we see more than we could have seen just with our own pair of eyes, I feel.
Thanks for sharing so many of your views with me siva.

@innertalks Thanks Steve for the sentiments expressed.
I treat myself well though my needs are limited.
I like the simple pleasures of life like knowing more about everything and to understand where others come from.
I see others as just like me - no difference - with the same yearnings and failings.
Nothing differentiates us and what we see is only skin deep.
Scratch the surface we are all just the same - siva

Let's take the law of gravity. It exists. It existed long before man came into existence. So man did not create it. Who created it? It was God. So we should give him the credit. Man takes credit for too much but in general refuses to give credit to God, the Creator of all things. We exist for a brief time and then vanish. We do have an accounting with God. Let's not forget that!
Moses, could have taken the credit for the 10 commandments but he did no. He gave credit to Yahweh!

True, true, but would God call this the law of gravity, given that his son could walk on water.
This law to me is more an observed one describing how we think things work here. Perhaps something else is really being involved here behind the scenes, so to speak, causing this to be seen or take place for us here. Maybe one day we will reach past this law too....

@innertalks Wouldn't God be above the law? I would think that the laws are made for us, to protect us from harm.

@1hopefulman Well, even his apostle Peter could do this when he had some faith too. We can all move past these protective laws when we place our complete faith in God. He then is our protection.
We can even move mountains and dump them into the sea, so Jesus told us.
"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
Mark, chapter, 11, verse 23.
