Laws of Success

By: Andrew Cocks
1. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation

Basically, this law states that what starts as energy changes into what is physical. Everything around you, everything you see, hear, smell, touch, or taste began as energy.

The vibration of that energy forms what is physical. Everything is in constant motion, and that motion is always changing. Energy can not be created or destroyed, just moved and changed. Our thoughts make themselves manifest in the physical world. In other words, what we think about, we bring about.

2. The Law of Relativity

The way we perceive any object, thing, person, or idea is always relative to how we see another object, thing, person, or idea. It's the way we gauge what we see, bigger, smaller, good, bad, better, worse. The whole universe is designed to work together, with all the laws corresponding rather than conflicting.

All the laws apply equally to everything in the universe regardless of their size, strength, or awareness of the laws. Everything in the universe has its own rate of vibration, high, low, and in-between, we can only evaluate the rate of vibration based on a comparison with the rates of other things.

In your life, you see this law played out as you compare yourself to other people. You are reasonably attractive, right? Now, say someone enters the room who has entirely unfortunate looks, you feel simply gorgeous in comparison. But what if a supermodel enters the room next? How good-looking are you then? It's all relative. The core of this law is that everything in life just "is", our perception shapes how we experience it.

3. The Law of Vibration

This law says that nothing is at rest in the universe, it's all constantly vibrating. Our awareness of that vibration is what we call feeling. Our feelings are determined by vibration, and we determine our rate of vibration by our thoughts and the paradigms we use to look at life.

You've experienced this if you've ever walked into an office or house where people were just quarreling. The tension in the air is thick enough to cut with a knife, and you instantly know you've interrupted something unpleasant.

Our thoughts consist of vibrations we send out to the universe. When we focus or concentrate on our thoughts, the vibrations grow stronger. Thoughts are the strongest vibration to move through the universe.

God created the whole universe, all that there is, seen and invisible from nothing, using thoughts and words. People are the only creation who share the power of thought with the Creator, and that makes us special.

This power to think, this gift of spirit, is what it means to be created in the image of God. Our thoughts and prayers are very powerful, affecting the physical world we live in.

Our awareness of vibration is what we call our feelings. We see what it's like to be in a negative vibration when we say, "I feel bad today." A positive vibration shows when we say, "I feel great today!"

Since vibration originates with our thoughts, we can control whether we live in a positive or negative vibration pattern. You use your brain to choose which thoughts you'll entertain, it doesn't choose a vibration itself. You're the master of your thoughts, of your vibration. Your thoughts steer your central nervous system into the vibration you choose.

Your mind is a storehouse of images, positive and negative, whatever you allow to take up room there. If you choose to dredge up, examine, and review the negative, you will move into a negative vibration, negative feelings will immediately follow. The reverse is true, positive thoughts lead to positive vibration and a positive mood.

4. The Law of Polarity

Everything has an equal opposite, up and down, good and bad, empty and full. There is no such thing as a one-sided coin. No object has only a left side without a right side.

Because everything not only has an opposite, but the opposite is also equal, we've got an immutable law that we can understand. If you measure the room and find it is eighteen feet from the wall to the door, you'll find it's also eighteen feet from the door to the wall.

Seems pretty obvious, but the understanding of this law will really change how you look at life. Say something you think is really bad happens to you, according to the Law of Polarity, there must be something equally good about it, too. Mathematically, if something happens to you that you see as only being a little bit bad, the flipside is that there's also a little bit of good in that, too.

Because of the Law of Polarity, you also get to choose your thoughts on every occurrence in life, is this a good thing or a bad thing? In reality, it just is. But you have the privilege of interpretation, you can choose to view it as a positive or a negative. From that choice, you set vibration in motion, determine your feelings, and ultimately your actions and results.

5. The Law of Rhythm

The whole universe moves in a repetitive rhythm. The tides, the seasons, day and night, we can count on these regular patterns to stay constant. If anything moves forward, something else must move backward; if anything grows greater, something else shrinks.

Every action causes a reaction, and results in a rhythmic swinging of vibration. You see this law at work every day in the peak and decline of your energy, the ups and downs that you experience, the way that our days are sometimes full and busy and sometimes slow and lazy.

It's helpful to realize that our moods have a natural rhythm of ups and downs, and that even in the midst of a relatively down mood, we've still got control of our thoughts. Choosing good thoughts, even when we feel down, propels us into a positive vibration, evening out our emotions and keeping us moving toward our goals.

6. The Law of Cause and Effect

This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you send out into the universe comes back. Luck, chance, and accidents are non-existent. Everything in the universe is subject to universal laws, and everything that happens does so because it was caused.

We see the result of this law in the physical world, in our health, our bank accounts, and how people treat us. The way we get results we want is by working on the cause behind them. A changed cause must produce a changed effect.

One way to change your cause is to focus on it, using positive affirmations to point you in the direction you wish to go. In each area of your life, develop positive statements you can repeat in your mind regularly. These affirmations should be in the present tense, carefully crafted to focus you on what you really want.

7. The Law of Gender

This law describes how every seed has a gestation period. We see it in nature all the time, you plant carrot seeds, and can expect to wait about seventy days before the carrot is ready to eat. If you conceive a child, it takes about forty weeks for the baby to be born.

The same is true for ideas. They are spiritual seeds, and take time to become manifest. You must be patient when you plant a spiritual seed, an idea. It will show itself in physical form when the time is right.

Every idea that is given energy moves into the physical world. Everything in the universe has a masculine and feminine side. We see it in every person and animal, and even in the plant world.

The principle of both male and female in all things makes potential, regeneration, and motion possible. Both male and female are required for life to exist. This law demonstrates how everything comes about, how things change from what they were into what they become.

You may be familiar with some of these concepts, the structure and function of your mind, and the universal laws of the universe. Some may be completely new to you.

Understanding them is so important in the process of achieving your dreams, of living the purpose-filled life you were designed to live, of living in a way that is fulfilling and proactive.

If you're serious about making changes, about winning in life, about living up to your potential and helping everyone around you to do the same, you'll commit yourself to learning these Laws of Success.

Reflect on them, discuss them, and do all you can to comprehend them, teach them to others, too. The more aware you are about how it all works together, the more you can put these ideas and laws to work for you so that you'll experience more success and less frustration.

California Patent Infringement Laws: A Review

By: Nick Johnson
Patent laws vary by state. Although there are federal ones, there are also state patent laws, and each state carries its own set determining factors for various forms of patent infringement. California patent laws vary from laws regarding patent infringement in New York by quite a bit.

It is always best, and typically the only legal option, to choose a lawyer that actively practices patent infringement in the state which the incident took place. California laws aren't any less restrictive than other states, per se, but all states have their downfalls.

When reviewing California laws, the average individual needs to keep in mind that California laws are not always static. Just like all state laws, they change in order to keep up with technological advancements and advancement in case law. It is never a good idea to assume to understand California laws unless you are in the profession and are chronically being informed of changes regarding California patent laws.

Retaining a lawyer to help decipher laws is recommended during the development of new products, especially in the technology field, to help protect your company from violating laws. Accidental patent infringement happens all the time, and courts tend to look past intent straight to the heart of the matter.

Accidental or not, violating California laws will most likely result in a lawsuit. It would be much more prudent and cost effective to simply hire a lawyer from the onset to avoid the violation of California patent laws.

California patent laws are not only changing, but they can be quite complicated in nature and it typically requires a professional, such as a California lawyer, to interpret these laws into applicable principles. Interpreting law is not always as straight forward as it seems, and often the wording is organized to be interpreted several different ways.

Without a professional, such as a lawyer, the decoding of California laws may very well take up more man hours in researching than actual production. And of course that isn't very cost effective either.

Relying on word of mouth or educated opinion is exactly how many companies hiring patent infringement lawyers, as they mount their defense against an accusation. Misinterpreting laws may very well be the end of a company. After all, award judgments for patent violations tend to run in the millions, and often the tens of millions for larger companies or blatant patent violations.

Equally as important as complying with California patent laws while in the design and production stages of a new invention or product, lawyers are also the first to call when your company has determined that another company is in violation of California patent laws.

Once again, because laws are so complicated and require interpretation by a professional such as a lawyer, suspecting that a company is in violation of California laws is not enough. You will need a lawyer to verify your suspicions and help you take the next legal step. Patent infringement is a serious offense and following the steps to pursue a strong legal case is vital.

The advice of a lawyer is the only thing standing between your company and possible financial devastation, depending on the nature of the patent infringement. There is enough money at stake that without solid advice, the company who has been infringed upon may very well find themselves losing more money than they can bear to lose.

This can result in cost cutting, job loss, financial constraints, project delays, and even ultimately bankruptcy or the closing of a company. The right lawyer can help prevent these effects from taking place under California laws.

California patent laws, patent infringement lawyers, and the court system are all in place to protect patent holders from violations as well as the long reaching effects of patent violations.

Under the current California laws, protecting a company from patent violation accusations can be equally as important as tracking down patent violators who wrong the company. These actions require the services of a well qualified lawyer.

Until speaking with a lawyer, you will never be sure your company is protected nor will you ever be sure that there isn't someone out there stealing your fortune bound inventions. The value of a lawyer to any company who develops new inventions is remarkably high.
