Question on God's Laws

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.
