Prologue

The following are the beginning-level Universe Principles of Right Actions and the Right Attitude. They are among the best places to learn about the new Way of the Universe.

"The Universe Principles are the meta-principles of successful and sustainable universe evolution. Within them is the universe's core wisdom concerning what the Universe has learned about sustainable success for living systems over the last 14.2 billion years. As a fully integrated system, within them, you will also find almost every life-affirming human virtue and society's wisest philosophical, moral, and ethical principles for keeping individuals and groups sustainably surviving, thriving, and cooperating.

They will help you create an optimal and "right relationship to and with the reality of successful evolution in the universe. They are the best creators and supporters of successful sustainable living and a successful evolution on earth and out into the universe." Lawrence Wollersheim

The beauty and amazing usefulness of the Universe Principles is that they also are:

a. rational and science-grounded

b. universal and timeless in their applicability,

c. including and transcending the best principles and values from earlier philosophies,

c. culturally, racially, and ethnically neutral, 

d. non-gender-biased

e., right and left brain balancing and honoring,

f. non-denominational or inherently spiritual in their nature.

 

Introduction

The best way to see if the new Way of the Universe tools will significantly improve your success, happiness, and life meaning is to start practicing the short version of the Universal Principles, which are printable on this page. You can read more about why and how the Universal Principles work later, as we have also provided links to the intermediate and advanced materials at the bottom of this page.

If you start practicing these principles and see how they work to improve your life, you will not need to read about how and why they work until later.

The best way to know these principles' power is through direct personal experience. If you practice the Universal Principles of Right Actions and the Right Attitude and eventually turn them into a daily habit for yourself (your family and eventually your micro-community), you will discover their true power.

After you have made the Universe Principles a daily practice and habit, you will have achieved 80% of the benefits of the Way of the Universe. Of course, eventually and collectively, we will have to inspire the use of these principles in larger society and culture to reduce its current levels of dysfunctionality and injustice. 

At the end of the Universe Principles, you will find instructions for a simple seven-day experiment to help you demonstrate the effectiveness of these principles and build them into a habit.

 

How to make the Universe Principles as effective as possible in your life

The Universe Principles will dramatically improve the success and meaningfulness of your individual life when they are all used together as one integrated, complete, and balanced system. They will do the same thing for families, groups, businesses, or nations that adopt them.

It also must be said that there is a tremendous amount of current social, economic, and political dysfunctionality and behavior that does not align with the Universe Principles. This dysfunctionality in our macro-culture makes living and practicing these principles more challenging.

The gradual solution to reducing or eliminating this macro-culture vs. mini-culture conflict of principles and behaviors is to continue practicing the Universe Principles as an individual and then keep educating and promoting the adoption of these principles to others (family, friends, business, etc) to build and expand a survival-critical supportive and insulating micro-culture. We live in an era where the macro-culture is so toxic and dysfunctional that building and maintaining a Universe Principle-based micro-culture is critically essential for your emotional, psychological, and even spiritual survival. 

The good news is that because these principles are based on the most time-proven, powerful, and successful reoccurring patterns of sustainable life in the universe, individuals and groups that adopt these principles will eventually succeed over those individuals and groups that do not adopt these principles. We are already witnessing in the world today the breakdown of many ecological, political, social, and other systems where the following principles are being ignored or intentionally violated.

 

The Short Form Universe Principles of Right Action for Creating Surviving, Thriving, and Sustainable Individuals and Groups

"Right relationship to the reality of what actually is --- is what ultimately matters." Michael Dowd.

The Universe Principles reflect the right reality relationship to the core meta-principles of reality—the core meta-principles of ongoing evolution within the universe.

There are several ways to use these powerful principles of right action:

1.) You can use them as a quick review or test to see how many you apply in your life or any particular situation. (The more you use and apply them to any situation, the more sustainable and successful you will be.)

2.) You can read them daily as a quick meditation or reminder to support, clarify, and motivate better decisions and actions in your life.

Remember that you need to practice them to know how fast and powerful they will be in improving your life.

(Copy and print the following section for daily use.)

 

Here are the Right Actions for Successful Evolution

 

1. Experiment!

(In at least a small portion of about 5% -10%, experiment in whatever you do.) 

 

2. Be intensely present in each moment for guiding and correctional feedback. 

To effectively discern accurate and unbiased feedback, be continually aware of:

a.) yourself (your actions, thoughts, and feelings.)

b.) others and,

c.) your environment  _____   _____

 

3. Quickly use all positive or negative feedback to adapt or "tinker" your experiments closer to success.  _____   _____

 

4. Continually expand and improve your learning and expand your life-affirming and sustainable exchangeable life skills. _____   _____

 

5. Improve your individual freedom and choice by improving your:

a.) self-organization,

b.) self-responsibility (This also means taking care of yourself so you can help take care of others.) and

c.) self-discipline. _____   _____

 

6. Increase your individual and group productivity's quality, quantity, and balanced sustainability.

(Everything needs a continuous supply of energy to maintain itself or grow. Producing and exchanging something that has some form of energy involved within it is how life overcomes entropy, a basic universe energy law. Also, if what you produce is not sustainable, the productivity will eventually fall apart.) _____   _____

 

7. Live, give, and demand FAIR energy EXCHANGE!

(Fair exchange of some energy (in some form) is essential for maintaining the appropriate reciprocality for the exchanges of some form of energy needed to keep any individual, group, or system balanced, healthy, and sustainable. Life truly thrives in environments of fair energy exchange between all parties. ) _____   _____

 

8. Wisely COOPERATE and always SHARE the benefits of reciprocal cooperation with all cooperators.

(It is not just "survival of the fittest," but far more it is "survival of the most wisely cooperative." Wise cooperation means constantly ensuring that all cooperators sufficiently and fairly share in the benefits of that cooperation.

This wise and balanced sharing will help ensure they want to continue cooperating. Wise cooperation also absolutely means ensuring that "free riders," "freeloaders," and "gamers of the system" do not drain the resources of any cooperative group without providing a fair exchange for what they use or take!) _____   _____

 

9. Build more wise and larger benefit-sharing cooperative groupings.

(Build wise cooperative groupings aligned with the Universe Principles. This also means fairly contributing to and exchanging with any "commons" area or any grouping you all draw benefits from.) _____   _____

 

10. Ensure that ALL individuals or groups capture their actions' fair and appropriate negative or positive consequences.

(Achieve this by implementing full transparency, truth, and accountability for individuals and groups! This will create the fastest possible consequence-reinforced evolutionary improvements!) _____   _____

 

11. Within your wisely cooperative groups, continually improve:

a.) harmony,

b.) transparency,

c.) order, and

d.) integration. _____   _____

 

12. Increase individual and group resiliency and reserves!

(Do this for insurance against unexpected learning or other mistakes, natural emergencies, individual or social accidents, possible emerging new universe uncertainties needing unexpected resources, or for charity support distribution uses.)  _____   _____

 

13. Continue to release all individual and group potentials toward transcending existing limits! _____   _____

 

14. Expand Universe Principle-aligned influence, control, or management into larger environments.

(Do your needed role of being a partner with evolution in teaching and forwarding the success principles of the universe's progressive evolution. Your life and groups will eventually improve as more individuals in your groups recognize and apply these principles.) _____   _____

 

The Short Form Universe Principles of Right Attitude for Creating Thriving and Sustainable Individuals and Groups

"The only way to apply the Right Actions of the Universe Principles effectively, wisely, or compassionately is by using the balancing universe scale meta-perspectives of the Right Attitudes. The Right Actions and Right Attitudes are inseparable. They create an integrated whole and a balanced evolutionary system for sustainable success. The Right Attitudes provide a near ultimate balance, the biggest possible picture/perspective, and an essential evolutionary framing for the many decisions and actions we must take daily." Lawrence Wollersheim

There are several ways to use these powerful principles of right attitude:

1.) You can use them as a quick review or test to see how many you apply in your life or any particular situation. (The more you use and apply them to any situation, the more sustainable and successful you will be.)

2.) You can read them daily as a quick meditation or reminder to support, clarify, and motivate better decisions and actions in your life.

(Copy and print the following section for daily use.)

 

Here are the Right Attitudes of Successful Evolution

 

1. The universe of everything is the only "text" with no greater "context."

(The universe is the single context that holds, conditions, and controls/influences everything in this one great union! From what we know now, only one universe or meta-universe exists; everything is included within it, and absolutely nothing within the universe is ever wholly excluded from this one great universe union. 

Enjoy being wholly embedded within this great and unique universe union and being in a matter, energy, space, and time-sharing partnership of yourself with ALL other beings and things, also sharing our progressively evolving universe union with you and the Great Mystery that has birthed/created the universe.) _____   _____

 

2. Acknowledge that at the deepest levels, the universe --- just is!

(This infers that a fundamental kind of neutrality inherently exists within the universe. This existential or ultimate neutral "issness" also infers that there is no inherent or intrinsic deficiency within you, the evolutionary process, or any thing or reality within the universe.

Everything is in a continuous, inherent, and natural core state of "issness" despite whatever else you later add to or label that "issness" when you think about it. Acknowledge and feel this neutral "issness" at the core of everything in the universe and your life and r-e-l-a-x!) _____   _____

 

3. Accept that no matter how it looks, everything emerging into being is at the “perfect” timing for its next step of evolution! _____   _____

 

4. Embrace the universe as being the current most IDEAL place and "University" for:

a.) releasing and developing the full inherent potentials of anything through experience and sharing relationships,

b.) learning and adapting to guiding developmental feedback,

c.) having diverse and novel experiences.

(There can be no complete or real loss whenever you have developed, learned, or expanded your experience and relationships.) _____   _____

 

5. Accept that unending change is a natural and dominant force in evolution.

(Resisting or denying the reality of continuous evolutionary change and the evolutionary process is what you can add to the pain of uncomfortable change to make it last longer and hurt more!) _____   _____

 

6. Trust that everything always works out for the greatest possible good for the Universe.

(This is initially always true at the level of the universe as a whole system. Next, it is also primarily true (at the highest possible percentage of good for your own life) if your life is well-aligned with these Universe Principles!) _____   _____

 

7. Despite how it often looks, the evolution of the known universe and our planet is currently at the most evolutionarily developed (best) state of its known existence!

(Whatever you see, this is just where we are at individually or collectively at this stage of humanity's evolution. This IS our current evolutionary and developmental best!)  _____   _____

 

8. Let it go when anything needs to be over! Recycle it back into the universe for the universe to reuse it in new experiments. _____   _____

 

9. Enjoy each moment and now of today as best you can!

(There are no 100% guarantees for your or the future! Evolution is filled with necessary uncertainties and unpredictable creative spontaneities. ) _____   _____

 

10. Feel the wonder of our universe being one single UNION consisting of the interconnection of all things in:

a.) inter-dependent and interconnected relationships that also share in one way or another,

b.) ALL universe matter, energy, space, and time

(It is and always has been an energy, matter, space, and time SHARING universe despite what many of our current cultural systems suggest!) _____   _____

 

11. Each day, celebrate existing and being alive within a universe of ongoing:

a.) spontaneity,

b.) creativity,

c.) abundance,

d.) beauty and

e.) adventure.

(For over 13.8 billion years, the universe's system of evolutionary processes has consistently proven itself to be not only the most successful system that has ever existed, but it has also shown itself to be the source of the largest abundance of energy, space, time and matter (things, us, consciousness, etc) that has ever been known to exist!) _____   _____

 

Our 7-Minute Day, Easy to Do 7-Day Universal Principles Experiment.

You are about to begin an experiment to dramatically improve your evolution and success. By completing it, you will have experienced the truth about the thrilling effectiveness of the Universe Principles of Right Action and Right Attitude.

Below are printable short forms of the Universe Principles of Right Action and Right Attitude. Both parts of the Universe Principles will be used in your simple experiment.

 

How to Start your Universe Principles Success Enhancement Experiment:

Imagine taking the most successful and sustainable principles from evolution's 14.2 billion years of trial-and-error testing and putting those principles into simple Right Actions and Right Attitudes that you could use to guide your life and decisions and experience a more meaningful and sustainable life success. That's what the following Universe Principles are all about.

Here is how to do the seven-day Universe Principles experiment:

Step 1.) Print out only the two short forms of the Universe Principles of Right Actions and Right Attitudes found off the links at the bottom of this page.

The Right Actions are all the essential minimal actions of evolution's marvelous system for thriving and sustaining individuals and groups.

The Right Attitudes help to create the optimal evolutionary "big picture" perspective and attitude from which you will most effectively and wisely adapt and apply the Right Actions. (The Right Actions should never be used without the Right Attitudes.)

Step 2.) To know if your experiment was successful, you need to see the state of things before you begin the experiment. Doing this "where are you now" test is fast and straightforward. Using the printed Right Actions and Right Attitudes, ask yourself, "How well am I currently applying this (each) principle in my life?"

Rate yourself on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being that you are applying it ideally and zero being that you are not applying at all. Mark your pre-experiment ratings for each principle on the first blank line after each principle. (The second blank line is for the second end-of-experiment rating you will do at the end of the experiment.) If you do not believe or understand some principle at all and are not applying it in any way, give yourself a 0 rating on that item for now.

Step 3.) Each day for 7 days, read these meta-principles of evolution. They all can be read in about 5 minutes or less! (If you meditate, we suggest using the Right Actions and Right Attitudes as part of your daily meditation.)

Don't worry if you miss a day; keep going until you reach seven repetitions. Don't worry if you do not yet understand all the evolution science behind the Universe Principles. Evolution is the most complex thing in the universe, and even our most advanced students are still learning all the science behind the validity of the Universe Principles.

But, if you want or need to understand more about why these evolution principles are so practical or, if you do not believe them to be accurate, go to these separate Right Actions and the Right Attitudes medium-length online booklet links and read more about the Right Actions and the Right Attitudes before you do this experiment.

Step 4.) In whatever ways you can during the 7-day reading period, try to use the Universe Principles in your daily life, decisions, and actions as best as you understand them. Perfection is not necessary! Do not forget to generously self-acknowledge yourself for any progress in applying one or more of the Universe Principles.

Remember that the more you read and use them, the closer you will enter into a closer alignment with the unstoppable wave of the progressive directionality of universe evolution, and the more this evolutionary wave will carry you forward!

Here are a few questions you can use for each principle to help you figure out how to live them more fully:

a.) What am I doing that most violates this particular principle?

b.) What simple thing could I do today to improve that?

 

Step 5.) The final step is at the end of the 7 days or 7 Repetitions. This is where you will carefully and objectively review how reading and using the principles of universe evolution has affected your life. The page with Step 5 is found after the short form Universe Principles pages linked at the bottom of this online booklet.

Keep in mind that:

a.) the more you can use the principles of universe evolution in a balanced, integrated, and all-inclusive way --- the better your experimental results will be!

b.) All Universe Principles are essential to a complete and balanced evolution-based system. They are also integrated with each other to produce the entire evolutionary cycle and spiral of thriving success and sustainability. In some ways, they also counterbalance each other.

c.) These principles of successful and sustainable evolution are so powerful that if you like after you become familiar with them by using them, you can even rewrite them in your own words and put them in any order you want. You can simplify or shorten them by having only one principle or concept per short sentence. You can also eliminate the extra explanations after the main principles.

As long as you do not lose any of the included evolution-proven concepts, processes, nouns, adjectives, and verbs within them, they will still work as a complete, balanced, and integrated system to profoundly evolve and improve your life. Every single concept of substance within them is essential to the entire working evolutionary process for proven success and sustainability.

The Final Step 5 of the Experiment: Do only at the end of the Experiment to Evaluate Your Results

After you have completed testing the Universe Principles, it is time to carefully review how reading and using the principles of universe evolution has affected your life. Here is how to do this:

a.) Rate your results: Once again, ask yourself for each principle: "How well am I currently applying this principle in my life?"Use the same 1-10 scale, with 10 being perfect and zero not at all. This time, mark your end-of-experiment rating on the second blank line after each principle.

b.) Evaluate your results: If you have experienced the benefits of living these principles of universe evolution profoundly and positively, then:

1.) We'd suggest you keep reading the Universe Principles for another 21 days to improve your results and turn the Universe Principles into stronger habits of action and attitude. (Science tells us it takes at least 21-30 days of repeating anything to begin to form a habit. And next,

2.) If you have been successful in your 7- 30 day experiment, please share this valuable experiment and life enhancement tool. Be sure to send your friends the link on this page for the Universe Principles experiment and share the life empowerment tools you experienced. 

3.) If you have been successful in your 7- 30 day experiment, we strongly recommend that you click here to determine whether you are ready to make The Great Commitment to further supercharge your ongoing personal evolution and developmental process. (Do not skip this empowering step if you have had a good experiment.

4.) After reading The Great Commitment link, you can continue to read more about the Universe Principles on this website or begin the first steps of our Job One for Humanity Program.

c.) If your experiment of 7- 30 days was unsuccessful and you have not experienced the benefits of living these principles of universe evolution profoundly, then do nothing more. Your experiment was not successful. (If you did not do the experiment described above, you may want to try it again or practice it a bit longer after making the appropriate adjustments. )

"When you know and practice the universe principles, you are living in some of the most powerful wisdom that evolution and the universe can teach us about how to be successful and sustainable both as individuals and as groups." Lawrence Wollersheim
