Question:
I've always read this talk about the Laws of
God on ARJ [Real
Jesus, Why is there evil in the world?]
and Jesus says that the Laws of God do not limit
individuality, they give one the freedom to
express their individuality. So I know ignorance
of the laws are no excuse for a chela or student
of the Masters, so can you give me some insight
into what these laws are about? I know somewhere
in scripture it's written that God would places
his laws in our hearts and seal them upon our
minds so that we would all know our own great
God Presence.
“Behold,
the days are coming, says the LORD, when I
will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah—not according
to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to
lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant
which they broke, though I was a husband to
them, says the LORD. But this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the LORD: I will put
My law in their minds, and write it on their
hearts; and I will be their God, and they
shall be My people. No more shall every man
teach his neighbor, and every man his brother,
saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall
know Me, from the least of them to the greatest
of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive
their iniquity, and their sin I will remember
no more.” Jud 32-34
God’s Laws
are everywhere, timeless and universal. They
govern our lives, from the least of the creatures
on this earth, to the greatest – man.
And yet the greatest among the living on earth
are the very ones for whom God created the laws
to govern his environment and his Being, and
they are the first to break and ignore those
laws. Why is this so? What drives man to ignore
the universal physical laws and the universal
moral laws of Being?
God has
given man the ability to think–to reason–and
thus reason why they should or should not obey
his laws. He has also given them the great Law
of Free Will. This is the greatest law on earth,
because it is through free will that man may
choose to love God or not – and follow
the greatest commandment:
“And
you shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength. This is
the first commandment. And the second, like
it, is this: You shall love your neighbor
as yourself. There is no other commandment
greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31
And
through this Great Law and the following Commandments
of loving God and thyself as God, and thy neighbors
as God, man may rise into the pinnacle of Being
and take on his rightful place as heir to the
kingdom of God.
But
instead we find that man has often chosen to
do exactly the opposite. Through the Great Law,
man has chosen to avoid the right use of the
commandment to love, and instead pervert the
right to love oneself as second to the greatest
commandment–to love God.
So
man has frequently put himself above God the
Creator, God the Almighty, and has set himself
up as the god of Being. And when God comes second
to the love of man, there is nothing by calamity
that will follow this free will decision. Man
has set a course of existence that will be fraught
with error and strife.
And
so when you ask for more insight into what the
laws of God are about, you are asking in ignorance
because you cannot define God’s Law of Being,
it Is, as God Is Being. What you truly need
to ask instead is what is God’s Law doing through
man. You see God had no intention of creating
a Being that would walk in his image and likeness
and not Be that which he is. God’s every intention
was to create a Being that was in his image
and likeness so as to extend himself into more.
And when man chose to be less, the image and
likeness of God in them was destroyed and the
empty shell of Being was just that, a shell
of the former estate and likeness of God.
The
choice to Be more is the walking towards the
Being of God. We see in the footsteps of the
man Jesus, who was the Christ, the pathway to
Being I AM and more. Jesus walked the walk.
He showed us the Way of Being I AM, and the
more was I AM THAT I AM. He showed us that putting
off the consciousness of less, the consciousness
of ignorance– consciousness of death because
it ignores God’s Laws – is always the
Way of Truth and Being.
But
the fall of man took him away from that Being
I AM, literally and figuratively. Literally,
in the sense that the feminine being, the creative
potential of Self in Being more, chose to follow
the lies of the serpentine consciousness and
move literally away from the Presence of I AM
– the mighty I AM Presence. Figuratively,
in the sense that one woman, Eve, was tempted
by the Serpent in the Garden, and thus henceforth,
all women had fallen. And all men, following
in the footsteps of Adam, would choose to follow
the fallen woman.
In
reality, the fall was both figurative and literal.
You cannot take either alone, but must understand
that figuratively, it represents the whole of
mankind, and literally, the fall happened in
a movement away from the I AM Presence and the
oneness of both male and female, but in reality
only the feminine aspect of Self fell.
So
to return to the Great Law and the laws of God
in the creation of man, we see that God created
the Law of Free Will to allow the perfect opportunity
for only that which chose to follow Being more
to survive and procreate, in other words, to
co-create. There is no permanency in man’s creation
outside of the Laws of God. Man may have the
room to procreate life all they want, within
a certain time frame, but will never take that
life beyond the pearly gates of Heaven, because
God’s Laws will not allow it. And that cannot
be changed. The laws of the universe were set
in motion to keep the order of the kingdom of
God in the matter realm. And when man enters
that realm, these laws govern his Being, until
he exists the physical realm for the realm of
Spirit, where the Laws of God govern in Spirit
under the Great Law of Love, which is the Law
of Being more. Love cannot help but give itself
away, and in the process, expand the more.
While
on earth, many may try to expand that more through
love, but only if they use his Great Law of
free will to be more God. If one chooses to
be more ego, more control, more ignorance, more
selfishness, they will not go beyond the physical
realm and its laws, but will eventually disintegrate
into nothingness and be no more.
