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.
