The Law of Relativity: What It Is and Why It Matters
The Law of Relativity is a universal law that states nothing in life has meaning—until you relate it to something else. Every situation, every feeling, every result you experience is relative to the lens through which you view it.
Bob Proctor taught this not as a philosophical footnote, but as a foundational law that could change your entire emotional state in minutes. According to Bob, the power to shift your perception was the power to shift your vibration—and that power is always within you.
"Nothing is big or small, good or bad, until you relate it to something else." — Bob Proctor
When you're stuck in the comparison trap, you're not suffering from reality—you're suffering from relativity. This law is your reminder that you control the reference point.

Bob Proctor’s Core Teaching: Compare Down, Not Up
Most people compare upward. They see someone wealthier, fitter, or more successful, and suddenly feel lacking. Bob Proctor warned against this. Not because you shouldn't aspire to more—but because upward comparison, when done unconsciously, reinforces lack.
Instead, Bob would often say: “Compare down.” Look at your past self. Look at someone who would dream of living your life. Reconnect with your blessings.
This doesn’t mean settle—it means stabilize your emotional frequency. Because when you feel grateful, you vibrate higher. And when you vibrate higher, you attract more to be grateful for.
In the Teachings of The Universe Unveiled
At The Universe Unveiled, we interpret the Law of Relativity as a metaphysical calibration tool. Think of it as your cosmic compass. When you feel lost, this law reminds you to shift your frame of reference.
Bob Proctor didn't just lecture about this law—he modeled it. He told stories of being broke and aimless, earning just a few thousand dollars a year. But instead of comparing himself to millionaires, he compared himself to the man he had been. That comparison gave him hope. That hope gave him power. And that power changed everything.
The Law of Relativity isn’t just about mindset—it’s about energetic alignment. When you reframe your perception, you literally shift your point of attraction.
Mystical Application: Collapsing Timelines Through Self-Comparison
The mystical dimension of this law is profound. When you compare yourself to your past self—consciously, lovingly—you collapse timelines. You align your current vibration with one of appreciation and possibility.
This isn’t just metaphor. In quantum theory, observation affects outcome. When you look at your life through a lens of growth, you change the vibrational structure of your future.
Try this now:
- Remember a version of yourself from 3 years ago.
- Imagine that version looking at you now.
- What would they admire? What would they envy?
- Let that gratitude flood your body.
That feeling? That’s manifestation fuel. That’s quantum juice.
Subconscious Reframe: Control the Lens, Control the Mind
The subconscious mind doesn’t care what’s true. It only cares what’s repeated. So if you keep comparing yourself to people who make you feel small, you’re training your subconscious to believe you are.
Bob Proctor emphasized that the Law of Relativity is the gateway to subconscious empowerment. The moment you start comparing yourself to your own growth—rather than someone else’s peak—you build inner authority.
Self-comparison, when done properly, is self-programming. It teaches your subconscious: I am growing. I am getting better. I am worthy.
And when your subconscious accepts that? Your outer world has no choice but to catch up.
Five Real-Life Ways to Practice the Law of Relativity
- Use a Progress Journal
Every night, write one sentence beginning with: “Today, I handled this better than I used to…” - Flip the Frame in Real Time
Stuck in traffic? Think of someone who doesn’t have a car. Feeling like you’re not rich? Think of your past self praying for your current income. - Shift the Metric
Instead of asking, “Am I successful like ___?”, ask: “Am I kinder, more patient, more grounded than last year?” - Build a Mirror of Milestones
Place photos, notes, or memories on a wall to remind yourself of how far you’ve come. - Meditate on Your Timeline
Visualize the version of you from the past watching your current life unfold—and the version of you in the future cheering you on.
What Bob Proctor Actually Said About This Law
At multiple events, Bob Proctor shared a story about how he used to earn $4,000/year cleaning floors. He said:
"If I had kept comparing myself to millionaires, I would’ve stayed defeated. But when I looked at who I was, I could see growth. That comparison gave me confidence. Confidence changes everything."
This wasn’t just a motivational soundbite—it was a strategy. A metaphysical hack for dissolving inferiority and installing faith.
The Law of Relativity and the Law of Attraction: A Powerful Duo
These two laws work in tandem:
- Relativity dictates what you focus on.
- Attraction delivers more of it.
When you focus on your insufficiency (via upward comparison), you attract more lack.
When you focus on your progress (via downward comparison), you attract more momentum.
Bob Proctor often said, “Gratitude is the gateway to abundance.” The Law of Relativity is the key that opens that gate.
FAQ: Deep Dive Into the Law of Relativity
How does this law help me stop feeling behind in life?
It shows you that “behind” is a story—not a truth. You’re only behind when you compare yourself to someone else’s timeline. Use this law to compare to your starting point. That’s when you realize: you’re not behind—you’re blooming on time.
Can comparing myself to others ever be useful?
Yes—but only if it inspires, not diminishes. Bob Proctor taught to study people you admire, but don’t pedestal them. Ask: What belief must they hold to have that life? Then adopt that belief.
What if my current life feels worse than my past?
Then you use this law to compare with possibility. Bob would say: “Your present isn’t permanent.” Even if you’ve regressed in one area, you’ve probably grown in others. And if not, now you have clarity. That’s power.
How does this tie into subconscious reprogramming?
Every comparison you make writes a story in your subconscious. Make that story one of victory. The Law of Relativity helps you write a new internal script where you are the hero rising.
How can I apply this law if I’m going through something really hard?
Find a higher context. You can’t always change what’s happening, but you can change what it means. And meaning is magnetic. Bob said: “Everything is either a stepping stone or a stumbling block. You get to choose.”
Final Transmission from the Teachings of Bob Proctor
“You’re not in competition with anyone else. You’re in collaboration with your potential. Compare not to compete, but to rise.” — Bob Proctor
The Law of Relativity is your divine permission slip to reframe your life, reclaim your power, and realign with the truth: you are further than you think, wiser than you know, and richer than you’ve yet allowed yourself to feel.
Your lens creates your life.
Shift it—and everything shifts.
