universal laws
Rules governing everything
Universal laws are principles believed to operate consistently throughout the universe or across all circumstances.
In physics, these include laws like gravity and thermodynamics that govern how matter and energy behave.
In philosophy and spirituality, universal laws refer to metaphysical principles thought to shape human experience, such as the law of attraction or karma.
