I am dedicating this book to the healing
of my lineage: my foremothers and
forefathers, and the future generations.

I pray that all beings may heal and that we unite
as souls on this path together. May you always
have faith, trust and hope on your journey of life.

The Law of Positivism is not a new philosophy or paradigm; its not a spiritual path or a religion. Its gathered knowledge, intrinsic wisdom and the love I have for humanity that has shaped my writings, and its distilled into one truth that transcends all religions and beliefs: that all is one.

In this life, with our mere senses, we humans do not have the capacity to even imagine the vastness of life and the universe. We can sometimes feel it or experience it in dreams or in meditations, but its really hard to put into words or explain scientifically and logically. I honour all those prophets, sages and wise women and men who have come before me, and I acknowledge that Im a part of them as they are a part of me. We are one.

I created pillars for the Law of Positivism simply to turn something intangible and unexplainable into something more concrete, as an anchor or a visual aid. Made by the constricted tool of language, these pillars are just thoughts and words, and just a foundation to build on while were on a path to self-realization and healing, but they can help us pinpoint the essence of our being, supporting understanding around energy and how energy works, around balancing the mind, body and soul, and around practising gratitude. These pillars have been crucial in helping me to understand, and through this understanding I feel that Ive brought so much healing and love into my life. They have been important tools and components for me on my journey and I hope that they can help you on your journey too. With these pillars as your foundation, you can create your own path that resonates with your soul.

The first pillar of the Law of Positivism, and the most fundamental one, is energy. We are all energy connecting with energy, integrating energy, emitting energy, absorbing energy, transforming energy and everything around us is energy. If we hold this as truth, we also understand that we are eternal and infinite. So if we are infinite, why should we be limited by something as mundane as thought? Thought can create and transform energy as well as shape and transmit energy, only through the addition of the emotion that fuels it.

Our minds and thoughts are the tools with which we can create the reality in which we live. We have the innate ability to change our perception in order to change our reality. Everything we see around us is made from one consciousness, one thought, one idea, manifested in physical form. Energy is created through thought and emotions, and therefore the energy that we transmit to the world is fundamentally created through our conscious and subconscious mind. Being aware of our subconscious mind is thus key, as our subconscious mind might be shaping more of our lives than we realize.

The second pillar of the Law of Positivism, which is interconnected with the law of energy, is that mind, body and soul all work together to create the energy that we transmit to the world. When one element is out of balance, the others follow. So if we spend hours and hours on meditation, but then go on with our day without taking care of our body, feeding it unhealthy foods and substances, the benefit of that meditation isnt able take full effect. Or if we take the trouble to eat healthily and be physically healthy, yet neglect our soul and our spiritual path, leading us to become more attached to the physical life and forget that were spirits, this also creates an imbalance and a decrease of life-force energy. Only through a holistic perspective, and through understanding the correlation between mind, body and soul, can we truly integrate and align these elements within us to create homeostasis (equilibrium).
