The Law of Relativity is one of my favorite laws. An understanding of this law gives you the power to turn your bad experiences into good.
The Law of Relativity basically states that everything is relative. There is no hot or cold, tall or short, thick or thin. “Every thing, every thought, and every act takes on its qualifications only by comparison.” Instead of seeing things in their essence, we see them as they are compared to something else. For instance, I’m 5’10. If I was to stand next to someone who is 5’0, I might feel tall. However, if I was to stand next to someone who is 6’5, I might feel short. By comparing my height to someone else’s, I can feel tall or short, depending on who is standing by me.
When you understand the Law of Relativity, you can really become a master of life. For example, let’s say we have a man who earns a good income, say $100,000 a year, driving through one of the richest neighborhoods in Beverly Hills, CA. Looking around at some of the multi-million dollar homes, he might feel as if he wasn’t as much of a success as he once thought. Now, let’s say that same man begins to drive through one of the poorest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, such as South Central. Looking around at the poverty of that area, suddenly that man’s income will feel like a tremendous sum. The point I am trying to make is that by using the Law of Relativity in your favor, by comparing your situation to one worse, you always feel better. Also, under the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Radiant Energy, for every amount of energy you put out, a like amount must be taken on. As you feel better about your situation, you are putting forth good energy, and you will be attracting more good into your life. In addition, through the Law of Vibration, this good vibe that you are now feeling will elicit new people, circumstances, and events that are in alignment with it.
Here’s another example. Let’s say we had someone, we’ll call her Justine, who came down with a common cold which caused her to have to cancel her big date for the night. For days Justine had been looking forward to this date and now has to cancel abruptly. To most people this situation would be bad but since Justine knows about the Law of Relativity, she’s going to use this amazing law in her favor. Instead of complaining about her cold, or bemoaning her predicament, she instead is going to compare her situation to one worse. For instance, she could say: “I just have a cold. It’s no big deal. At least I don’t have pneumonia or something serious. It’s just a cold and will be gone in a short time. Then I’ll go on my date.”
Justine compared her situation to something much worse and by doing so, felt better. Under the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Radiant Energy, she can expect to receive positive energy based on the energy she’s now putting out. Also, under the Law of Vibration, she can expect to receive positive experiences based on the vibration she’s now putting forth.
I’ll give you an example from my own life. Recently while in San Francisco, I had the pleasure of taking a homeless man out to dinner. For weeks afterwards, if anything would come into my life that appeared negative, instead of getting angry or upset about it, I would simply say, “At least I’m not homeless.” By comparing my situation to one that was dramatically worse, I always felt better.
EXERCISE:
For the next week, every time you catch yourself complaining or getting upset about something, compare your situation to something worse. By comparing your situation to something to less desirable, you’ll feel better and be using this law on the positive side.
