FAR back in the twilight of the pictured history of the past, the cross is found on the borders of the river Nile. A horizontal piece of wood fastened to an upright beam indicated the hight of the water in flood. This formed a cross, the Nileometer. If the stream failed to rise a certain hight in its proper season, no crops and no bread was the result. From famine on the one hand to plenty on the other, the cross came to be worshiped as a symbol of life and regeneration, or feared. as an image. of decay and death. This is one, so called, origin of the Cross.

The cross was a symbol of life and regeneration in India long before this usage on the Nile, and for another reason. The most learned antiquarians agree in holding it unquestionable that Egypt was colonized from India, and crosses migrated with the inhabitants. "Proofs in adequate confirmation of this point are found," says the learned Dr. G. L. Ditson, "in waifs brought to light in ancient lore. Waif originally signified goods a thief, when pursued, threw away to avoid detection. Many of the facts to be brought forth in our inquiry were doubtless intentionally scattered and put out of sight to prevent apprehension of the proper subject to which they belong."

The cross bespeaks evolution in religion. It is the product of time, and the relic of the revered past. It begins with one thing and ends with another.

Jesus was referred to as the chief cornerstone (i.e., capstone) - a reference to an Egyptian pyramid. The chief cornerstone of the pyramid is same symbol for Horus, the Egyptian god and savior. Like the Egyptian pharoah, Jesus was called a shepherd who rules the nations with a staff. Horus was a popular Egyptian god who was the son of Osiris and Isis. Osiris and Horus were both solar deities. Osiris was the setting sun, Horus the rising sun. Jesus is the rising Son and the morning star. The pharoah was considered to be an incarnation of Horus (also known as "Amen-Ra," the sun god). In the same way, Jesus is considered to be the incarnation of his heavenly Father. Horus was the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world. Horus had an adversary named "Set". Jesus' adversary was "Satan".

The story of Horus can be found in "The Egyptian Book of the Dead (also known as the "Papyrus of Ani") written over 3,000 years before the birth of Christ.

Recently, a woman I know, stated that 'The Secret,' (the popularized name for the Law of Attraction), was passé. Her statement surprised me as I perceived she understood and was in tune with the Universal Laws.
Western society pays little attention to Universal Laws a.k.a. Metaphysics. Asian society and traditional Native Americans base all aspects of life and living on the Universal Laws.

The twelve Universal Laws are guidelines for behaviors that enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth. The Universal Laws and Sub-Laws describe ways in which cause and effect are interrelated.

There are twenty-one sub-laws that govern the Higher Self. These sub-laws are the human characteristics that facilitate connecting with and support the Universal Laws. These characteristics include: Aspiration to A Higher Power, Charity, Compassion, Courage, Dedication, Faith, Foregiveness, Generosity, Grace, Honesty, Hope, Joy, Kindness, Leadership, Noninterference, Patience, Praise, Responsibility, Self-love, Thankfulness and Unconditional love.

The Law of Attraction means you create the things, events, and draw in people, who come into your life. Your thoughts, feelings, words and actions produce energy which, then, attracts like energy. Negative energy attracts negative energy and positive energy attracts positive energy. The axiom, 'Birds of a feather flock together' is a metaphor for the Law of Attraction in action.

It has long ago been known by researchers that, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." This is the Law of Divine Oneness. The Law of Divine Oneness reminds us that everything is connected to everything else. Everything you do, say, think and believe affects others and the universe around you.

Marcel Proust is attributed with saying, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

Thus, when you are looking at your 'problems, you see more problems. When you are looking at every situation with gratitude, you see solutions and, therefore, you are grateful for the experience. As Proust stated, '...discovery consists, not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

You can choose the way you look at things. When you change how you look at things it changes, because you are seeing them with a different perspective and therefore, things are different.

Existence has no inherent meaning until someone puts a label on it. This is the reason we all have differing opinions about nearly everything. The meaning something has to you is the meaning you ascribe to it, based on your likes, dislikes, experiences, prejudices, values, and level of knowledge.

When you assign a meaning to something you end your relationship with that thing/person/issue; and begin to relate to and interact with your beliefs. You become blind to the fact that you no longer 'see' what is before you. You only see what you think.

"We experience what we believe. If we don't believe that we experience what we believe, then we don't, which still means the first statement is true." -Harry Palmer

Thus, the woman I know, who, believes that, "The Secret" (Law of Attraction) is passé will experience what she believes. She will attract stagnation. It is more difficult to attract what one desires if one is holding energy that is out of sync with the Universal Laws.
