Universal Laws vs Universal Lores

Universal Laws vs Universal Lores

What I actually mean when I talk about energy

People talk a lot about Universal Laws.

The law of attraction.
The law of rhythm.
The law of cause and effect.

Most people who are drawn to this kind of language already know energy is real.
They’ve felt it in their body.
They’ve seen patterns play out in their life.

So the issue usually isn’t belief.

The issue is knowing about energy doesn’t automatically mean knowing how to live in alignment with it.

That’s where I like to make a distinction.

Universal Laws explain patterns

Universal Lores explain experience

Universal Laws describe how energy works in a general sense.
They point to patterns that exist whether we’re paying attention or not.

Universal Lores are about how those same patterns are felt and lived.

They’re not rules.
They’re not something you “do right.”

They’re more like accumulated understanding that comes from paying attention over time.

Why the word “lore” matters to me

When people learn about energy through laws alone, it can start to feel mental.

Like

• Am I thinking the right thoughts?

• Am I aligned enough?

• Why isn’t this working if I understand the concept?

That’s not because the laws are wrong.
It’s because they’re incomplete on their own.

Lore adds the missing piece: relationship.

It’s less about managing energy and more about listening to it.

A simple example

I often talk about quieting the mind — not as a concept, but as something practical.

Think of your mind like water.

When the water is still, you can see a clear reflection.
When the water is constantly being disturbed, the reflection becomes distorted.

Quieting the mind is like letting the water settle.

It’s not about forcing stillness.
It’s about stopping the constant stirring.

When the water is calmer

• it’s easier to see clearly

• it’s easier to hear your intuition

• it’s easier to sense what’s true for you

When the water is constantly being messed with

• the vision feels blurry

• decisions feel harder

• intuition feels distant

This is what I mean by living energy, not just understanding it.

Why people feel disconnected even when they “know” this stuff

Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know enough.

They struggle because they’re trying to apply energetic ideas mentally instead of relationally.

They’re trying to

• override exhaustion with mindset

• push through low energy instead of listening to it

• stay consistent when the body is clearly asking for contraction

Universal Lores make space for cycles.

They acknowledge that

• some phases are expansive

• some phases are quiet

• both are part of how energy moves

Nothing has gone wrong when things slow down.

Alignment isn’t a performance

Living in alignment isn’t about being calm all the time.
Or positive.
Or “high vibe.”

It’s about being honest with what’s present.

It’s noticing when your energy is pulling inward.
It’s acting when momentum is there.
It’s resting without narrating that rest as failure.

Universal Lores don’t ask you to transcend being human.

They ask you to be more attuned to it.

This isn’t new information

Most people already know this at some level.

They’ve just never had language for it.

Universal Lores aren’t about learning something new.
They’re about remembering how to listen.

And once that listening becomes familiar, alignment stops feeling like something you have to figure out, and starts feeling like something you respond to.
