IX — The Twelve Laws of Attraction
In order to help us all to manifest our true and noble desires, it is necessary to condense our understanding down to a simpler, more determined context. Fortunately, there are a set of immutable laws which will help us to govern, orchestrate, and then to determine what it is we truly want. These laws are set out in a twelve-fold fashion, and a firm and unswerving belief in them will give rise to both a true understanding of their immutable nature and the true nature of ourselves. By understanding and using the twelvefold laws of the Universe, it will enable us to change and alter the fortunes of our time and bestow on us the ability to create our own bliss and happiness on this earthly plane.
The laws are derived from the history of time, encompassing the philosophies of our age and of distant ages, the principles of metaphysics and science, and a deep understanding of the spiritual realm, which is all around every second of our mortal existence. The gift all these principles have given us is for us to allow ourselves to open our deeper consciousness and use them to the benefit of our overall happiness.
What follows states that everything around us, both in the eternal heavens and down to the smallest sub-particles of our beings is made of energy. This energy permeates the whole fabric and architecture of the Universe, and by understanding its omnipotent and omniscient force we will be able to change the direction of our journey in this life.
The Law of Divine Oneness
This is the opening law which sets out the scene for all the other laws that follow. Without this fundamental and most basic of all laws, there would be no universal laws. If we are to journey our souls along a path of blissful destiny, then we must believe and live this law of divine oneness.
Everything in the vast and unfathomable depths of the Universe is connected. We are derived from the singular point of being or the 'Big Bang,' and for the briefest of time, we were all together in a place smaller than your deepest imagination can think of. And now, when the vast Universe is expanding from that tiniest point we are all still connected. The stars, the distant galaxies, the great panorama of other universes and you, I, we, all of us are part of that heavenly matter who was oneness and still is oneness.
And it is not only the tangible matter of the stars and of our earthly beings, but it is also our consciousness, our spirit, our past, our present, and our future which is intrinsically attached. Our actions and our deeds have consequences not only upon ourselves but upon those around us and those affected by our actions.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
