Law Itself Part Two
There is simply nature and the rules that men make, nothing else.
Nature is simply the way things really are, despite the limitation of perception
In nature, men do things that effect nature, a little or a lot. Nature is affected by many things and we are one of the things.
Men must have rules. Theoretically, if men did not have rules, they would disintegrate and be consumed by nature. The question is, how are the rules implemented. Where do they come from. Rules are just orderly decisions and decisions are what we are all about. "All we really have is our bodies and our decisions"
The fundamental question of rules is, does implementing or acting on the rules cause harm or not. That is the basic supposition of all. The simple key, the big hidden mystery, is this: If harm is caused, it is harming nature. If nature is not harmed, it will be helped. If you have harmed another, you have harmed nature. If you have truly helped another, you have blessed nature. If you have somehow helped nature, you have helped all. Yes, this is the big secret and it is that simple.
So how should rules proceed? Again, very simple.
Men must make rules according to their inner nature. If they do not, nature is violated. Men must make rules for themselves, each and every one. Only the individual can access his own inner nature. Only the individual is qualified to make rules for himself. Any condition of government that exists in violation of this condition is a violation of nature and constitutes a harm.
When two or more individuals, in association, extend and confirm the rules they have made for themselves, then the moral civil code is created. It does not violate the individual. It does not violate the collective. It is orderly and precise. Most importantly, it does not violate nature, it harms nothing, it helps all.
It is self-evident that this can exist. It is the only possible basis of morality. It is the only condition of correct government possible. It, in fact, is God Himself amongst us. When we achieve it, nature, god, all that exists becomes an open ticket. When we do not, dissimulation is inevitable and that is what's going on now.
God has never forced man to obey any rules. God has never given any rules to men but what they came of it themselves, he merely confirmed what they chose accordingly to what He willed, and he only willed that which would help nature here and now. God has never required, judged, punished, any. The dissimulation has always been according to our own choice, or failure to make choice. It is the self evident, self maintaining, self operative principle of all, of all that nature is and then extended to us.
When we again choose according to our own inner nature, the dissimulation will cease and that is all that God ever was or could be, for us. In the mean time who will really measure any of this?

Law Itself Part One
What is law, I've been studying the meaning of the word again....
There is something called natural law, we can distinguish that from the rules men make. Always and forever there are just those two things of law. The way everything really is, and then a set of rules.
The rules are made by decisions of men, and whose minds really create the thought and action that results in the rules institutionalization is the thing to be seen. That is the connection with natural law. Then how all think and act accordingly. That is the other thing to be seen.
What motivated men to make the rules? Love of truth, order beauty. Conformity to ideas, concepts, philosophies etc. Obedience to some other mind. Just a simple desire to get others to conform, maybe with theft and avarice in mind.
What role did the people who are subjected to the rules play in the process?
Who is making the rules for you? What role do you play in the process? How aware are you those who make, adjudicate, and enforce the rules.
Whose mind are you subject to?
Deprivation of life, liberty, and property, through due process of law, rules that are created by men, adjudicated by men, and enforced by men, are perhaps, besides nature itself, the largest force of mind that affects our lives.
There never has been anything but nature. We make decisions in nature. Others make decisions in nature. What we think and then do affects nature, but not very much. What many others do affects nature far more.
How shall we live on this earth well when the rules violate the harmony of nature, violate us, our own inner nature, and then harm life itself.
We must learn again to choose rules in harmony with life, nature, and if you will, with God. Then all of these things will come to us with their abundance, and our law, will then again be the law of God.
