348. Principles that Govern the Universe

There are Universal Principles or Laws that operate in the Creation whether we like them or not. These are the "things behind the things." These are the causes behind the effects that we see. When we say that they are Universal, we mean that they are everywhere the same. They are true in every location and across every culture. Principles are Timeless and Constant. They never change over time. Some examples are : -

* Fairness
* Kindness
* Respect
* Honesty
* Integrity
* Service
* Contribution
* Trust

While principles are self-evident, you may miss them until they are pointed out to you. Make collecting them one of your life's goals.

23. Change

Change is as basic a component of our lives in the material world as night and day. Everything around us is in a constant state of change. This is a Universal Law and like all such laws, it does not matter whether or not you like it, agree with it, believe in it or even know about it, it will continue to operate with or without your approval. If you grow up accepting change as a way of life, as part of being a highly functioning person you will be on the road to a fulfilling life. It is unhappy people who are most intimidated by change.
