Everything revolves in its appointed place on the Wheel of the Universe.  People thrive best when they are in harmony, with their surroundings and their surroundings mirror universal law.

Cynthia's Journal:

The first eight Laws on the Wisdom Wheel are:

Balance
Awareness
Self
Right Relationship
Cause & Effect
Process
Faith
Love 

The study cycle for each Law is the same, as we carry it through all four quadrants of the Wisdom Wheel, over a four week period. This gives enough time to absorb the information about the various aspects of each Law. For example, take the second Law of Awareness, and run it through the quadrants to demonstrate how this works.

Most people do not have a conscious method for heightening their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual Awareness.  The lack of Awareness, on these levels alone, costs millions of dollars every day. Once you've understand the basic logic of the Wheel, you can add more dimensions in an organized manner; local Awareness, regional, national, global Awareness and so on. Everything from injuries to accidental deaths and poor decision-making can be attributed to the lack of a well-stuctured way to gain a more complete Awareness and share it with others.      

To heighten Awareness, you can (literally or figuratively) place any problem, person or thing inside the circle. The challenge of how to teach the Wheel for instance is a question that can be put to the Wheel. It reminds us that the teaching method (for the Wheel or anything else) would ideally appeal to all age groups, races, nationalities, religions and ethnicities. These are some of the things symbolically represented by the four quadrants. Complete solutions, as global and universal as the Wheel itself, must pass the test of elegance and simplicity - without being simplistic. People don't want to be bored. They want methods that catalyze and inspire.

Another example - take the third Law of the Self and run it through all four quadrants. The whole Self needs to be considered. The human parts are represented like this: 

The mind, head and intellect are in the East

The heart and the emotions are in the South

The body and the physical/intuitive aspects are in the West

And the spiritual aspects are in the North

Now, take the fourth Law of Right Relationship and run it through the same four quadrants. Is there a Right Relationship between your head and your heart? Does one tend to overrule the other? Do the body and the mind get equal time? (As much physical exercise as mental exercise?)  Does emotion or spirit take priority in your daily life?  These are just some of the many questions the Wheel can help you generate as your wisdom grows.
