The Universal Law of Right to One's Own Space

Honoring the Universal Law of Right to One's Own Space.

     The Universal Law of Right to One's Own Space supports the free will of individuals to make their own choices regarding how they live their lives. While parents are allowed to direct children as they are developing, they may not control their adult children. Every person has the right to create his/her life as he/she chooses in a way that supports his/her soul choices.

     This Law came up for me last Friday when my 18-yr. old daughter announced her plan to drive to her boyfriend's house. All of the schools were closed due to snow and icy road conditions. I advised her not to go--her car does not have 4-wheel drive and she had never driven in snow. I explained to her the tendency of the teenage brain to take risks and to assume that nothing bad will happen. But she was set on going and at that point, I knew I had to let her make her own decision. I had to honor her space.

     She skidded on ice a half-block from our house and went nose-first into a pretty deep ditch. Fortunately she was not hurt and the car escaped with only a dented bumper. What she gained, however, was a valuable lesson about using common sense--a lesson that may keep her safe in a more dangerous situation later on. If I had intervened by forcing her to stay home (how do you force an 18-yr. old to do anything?), she may have missed out on an important life lesson. We do not always know the big picture. We have to let people make their own choices, even when we perceive these choices to be mistakes.

     This Law also addresses the role of Government, mentioning that dictators have interfered with this Law throughout the ages. This is an important Law for us to keep in mind as we hold space for Egypt. The Egyptian people are fighting for the Right to Their Own Space. We can focus on the Light Language grid, pictured above, to support them in their political evolution. It is not necessary to understand the array of colored shapes; I ask that you spend a few minutes visualizing Egypt in the center of the grid as you affirm every Egyptian citizen's right to create the life they choose. Maintain your focus until you experience the sacredness that comes when we truly honor others for where they are in this given moment.

     Finally, let us also honor our own right to make life choices independent of the "shoulds" imposed by others. We can work with the three-dimensional shapes in the above grid to help us remain strong and secure in our choices so that we may better live the truth of our soul without being swayed by the physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual influences of others.
