LAWS OF SPIRIT

In Dan Millman’s bestselling book, The Life You Were Born to Live, a key section was titled “Laws that Change Lives.” These laws served as keys to overcome specific hurdles on each individual’s life path. Different laws played critical roles for different paths. Dan believed that these laws deserved a book of their own, and a more universal treatment, since anyone could benefit from applying any of these laws. As he writes: “Within the mystery of our existence, the universe operates according to spiritual laws as real as the law of gravity and as constant as the turning of the heavens. Aligning our lives to these laws can transform our relationships, careers, finances, and health. Simply put, they make life work better.” The Laws of Spirit is a “little book of big wisdom” — a parable and teaching tale in which he encounters an ageless woman sage while on a hike in the wilderness. The sage leads Dan and his readers through experiences and tests in the natural world, which demonstrate the power of spiritual laws of balance, choice, process, presence, compassion, faith, action, patience, surrender, and unity. As the sage relates, “These laws belong to all of us. They rest within our hearts and at the heart of every religion and spiritual tradition.” As you make your own journey through the pages of this book, you will find universal solutions to the varied challenges of our lives, leading to perspective and wisdom about the meaning and purpose of our lives here, and our connection with all of creation. It begins with a single step: Open the first page of a book you will refer to again and again for inspiration and guidance on life’s journey, up the mountain path.
