What's a Good Standard for Right and Wrong? (page 2)

James Brown, what about when the law of the land is wrong - such as the segregation laws that the US had?

Laws need to be challenged in the same way that "morals" need to be challenged.

COSMIC LAWS ARE PRETTY MUCH PRINCIPALS I AM LEARNING TO LIVE BY SHANA

THE COSMIC LAWS force that expressed Itself through Christ, the Buddha, Krisna, Mohammed,
and other great Avatars who served as "channels" for the
"Heavenly Father" (our Father/Mother God), Universal PrinciplesDiscern but Judge & Condemn Not
Be Humble
Never Do Anything Contrary to the Law of Love Do Nothing Contrary to the Law of Mercy This suggests that you take each of these Laws and spend
approximately one or two weeks meditating during your spare time
thinking about what is being said, really looking deeply about what is
being said. This Awareness indicates in this manner you shall begin
to discover levels of consciousness that few have ever glimpsed.

By studying these Laws you can open your consciousness to a level which
is likened unto a college education in comparison to a first or
second grade education. Your wisdom can expand ten-fold
by studying these Laws with deep attention; this is only the beginning." THE LAW OF LOVE The Law of Love is that Law which places the welfare, concern and feeling for others above self. The Law of Love is that close affinity with all forces that you associate with as being "good". The Law of Love is that force that denies a place for evil in the world, that resists not. Love offers the path of least resistance by cherishing, nurturing and protecting the beloved . *Resisting evil simply strengthens it, just like weight training strengthens muscles. Resist NOT evil. Expose it YES THE LAW OF MERCY The Law of Mercy is that law which allows one to forgive all error; to forgive equally those who err against you as you err against them. This is to be merciful. To be merciful is akin to the Law of Love, and if one obeys the Law of Mercy there can be no error in the world. THE LAW OF GRATITUDE The Law of Gratitude is that sense of satisfaction in knowing that energy, which has been given, receives its certain reward according to its nature. Energy that is given moves out on that curved and unequal line, and when extended far enough, can only return to its source bearing its appropriate gifts. THE LAW OF KARMA ( Simplified) This Awareness indicates the principle, rule or "Law" of Karma, is that principle associated with cause and effect; it is the result that comes from an action, this can be positive or negative. Karma can be perceived as "Good" or "Bad", but in reality is nothing more than the result of an action taken. It is not a punishment nor a reward, it is a result. Only the "Law of Grace", which is administered by Divine Intervention, can alter the result of an action to overcome the Law of Karma or Cause and Effect. THE LAW OF PATIENCE The Law of Patience states that all things must have their time and their season whereby they may work their action to proper fruition.

THE LAW OF RESPECT
The Law of Respect is that principle of looking twice, or more precisely, looking twice as deeply; for respect goes beyond the surface appearance and superficial glances to discover a deeper meaning, purpose or basis for discovery.
Without the principle of respect, the Book of Love will never be read, the Tree of Life will never be seen in full bloom, and the thousands of rainbows of the Land of Essence will never be viewed. But with the Law of Respect in action, the mysteries of the Universe, or any part, will open layer after layer, like the unfolding of a thousand petaled lotus.
THE LAW OF EXAMPLE
The Law of Example states that any person, concept or thing which is placed in a position of significance, may serve as an example for others to follow. Those who have served as examples of power, lust and greed, have helped to create the tragedies which they and their followers have spawned.

Those who have served as examples of love, service and the sharing of their better parts, have helped to bring about freedom, joy, beauty and peace that has been allowed upon this plane. Entities who wish a better world are cautioned to exemplify and portray only those better qualities of love, joy, peace and service to others, particularly to the children who are searching for examples in their world.

THE LAW OF TOLERANCE The Law of Tolerance is that Law which recognizes the divinity in others even when covered by their masks and armor of demonic imagery and activities, or hidden behind the walls of apparent ignorance, sleep, and stupidity; or residing in the bowels of lust, greed, and power. The Law of Tolerance is that law which allows one to speak through these walls and barriers to the divine God-Cell which lies buried behind these outer layers, and awaits liberation from the deep confines and imprisonment at the center of the self. This Awareness suggests you are all gods, and must in time learn to speak to each other as though you were addressing gods.
THE LAW OF AWARENESSThis indicates there is that Law Of Awareness wherein this Awareness may observe which is the illusion of separateness, yet not to be confused by this illusion; whereby this Awareness may be aware of the illusion of tragedy, yet not to be caught in that illusion; whereby this Awareness may be aware of that which is the illusion of death, yet not to be caught in that illusion, whereby this Awareness may observe that which is the illusion of free will, yet not to be caught in that illusion.
There are certain limitations placed upon this Awareness which It cannot break. One of these being It cannot break Its own principles and Laws; It cannot deny or reject those who would appear to separate themselves from this Awareness nor the movement and illusion of free will whereby they would do so.

THE LAW OF UNITY
The Law of Unity is that Law which recognizes no separateness, which ignores the appearance and seemingness of separateness in the apparent divisions of polarities, gender, cause and effects, the part and the whole, the one and the many; but realizing these each as integrated parts of the total picture. The Law Of Unity identifies with the over-all viewpoint and sees neither night nor day, but the night-day process; neither right or wrong, but the right-wrong process; neither the pleasure nor the pain, but the pleasure-pain process; neither the one nor the all, but the At-One-Ment process of the ALL One Being, whose cells and souls work together even in the seemingness of division.

The Law Of Unity acknowledge such division, but stresses the oneness of the parts. The Law Of Unity sees loss and gain, life and death nothing but the spinning wheel of fortune that is based on the Law Of Change, which is itself a unified process known as the Law Of Magic.

THE LAW OF ETERNAL UNFULFILLMENT
The Law of Eternal Unfulfillment states that there never can be completion or fulfillment in any moment. For if there were, there would be no further movement; and as each moment contains within itself all that is essential for that moment, so also each moment contains within itself an emptiness, an unfulfillment that is essential and necessary to lead into the next moment. The Law of Eternal Unfulfillment states that every moment has something missing and is incomplete, and every moment has something that is present, total and complete; and when one accept this Law of Eternal Unfulfillment, the greed-creating obsession to be fulfilled will ceased to be.

THE LAW OF HONESTY
Thisindicates the Law of Honesty is that Law which sees things as they are, without an attempt to alter that which is seen, either for purposes of advantage or out of fear.

THE LAW OF ESSENCEThis now indicates the Law of Essence. The Law of Essence states that what is....IS, and what is, is not changed by any opinions or beliefs about it, but IS what it is, while it is.
This Law states that actions and motives which are the highest and the best, the most inclusive and encompassing, the most appropriate and essential, create those movements that lead to the Gate of Essence, behind which all things are exactly as they are, while they are, for Essence is the ever-changing truth that was, is and forever shall be.
The essence is the is-ness of what is happening at any moment regardless of the length of time included in that moment. This Awareness indicates that awareness of what "is" is total bliss and total union with the Godhead.

THE LAW OF THE VACUUM The Law of the Vacuum states that all material forces of the universe abhor the vacuum and rush to fill each hole, opening, void, blank page, field of clarity or empty moment with image, garbage, sound and fury, often signifying nothing so precious as the original voidness. This Law states that space allows movement, and that when all space is filled, the solidarity prevents further movement or growth. By reducing bit by bit the inappropriate and the unnecessary aspects of one's lifestyle one can create the time, space, atmosphere and opportunities to move, grow, replenish and to rebuild on a more solid foundation. This Law creates the spaces in which to place only the highest and only the best with the least amount of energy and expense.

As an example:
This Awareness indicates that energies create a vacuum behind them, the vacuum draws forth other energies.
That wherein entities move towards the Light, wherein entities move toward higher spiritual dimensions, wherein entities move toward higher levels of consciousness; these entities create a vacuum which draws others to fill that void which the entity left behind, and in this manner when one entity progresses toward higher levels of awareness, others are drawn toward higher levels of awareness. THE LAW OF CO-CREATION The Law of Co-Creation states that two working in co-creative action have the power of four working individually; and three working in co-creative activity have the power of nine; and four working in co-creative activity have the power of sixteen; and one hundred and forty-four working in harmony can change the world.
Wherein large groups of entities believe and agree on certain images as real and being stable, this agreement does hold the power of many times that number of energies, if such energies were held by individuals working separately. Wherein groups of entities agree upon certain images, these images do tend to manifest and hold their being in a magnified manner. THE LAW OF RECONCILIATION
The Law of Reconciliation or the Principle of Reconciliation is that which finds in differing qualities unifying similarities that allows these differences to be brought together; to accept the unifying qualities and diminish the differences, so that the differences in the qualities become less clashing and conflicting and the unifying qualities become more binding.

THE LAW OF PEACEThe Law Of Peace states that Peace comes from within, and is related to the concept of surrender. But peaceful surrender cannot be to that which is divisive and polarized or greater conflict will follow.
The Law Of Peace warns that any compromise with forces that divide instead of unify, that oppress instead of liberate, that harm instead of benefit, will lead inevitable to greater conflict.

The Law Of Peace allows surrender only to that which brings a total unity by reconciling the yes and no and other oppositions. Peace is not only found in harmony, but may be found in conflict when that conflict is essential for the harmony and welfare of everyone involved. The Law Of Peace suggests that inner peace nourished external harmony, and grows by increments and degrees even as yes and no are merged into a maybe, even as you and I are brought together into we. With inner peace, one can witness harmony even in the midst of conflict. Through this Law Of Peace a soft response will often put a wrathful tongue to rest.

Box 1116, McMinnville, Oregon, 97128 THE LAW OF JUSTICE The Law of Justice is likened unto scales in balance in which that which is heavy on one side must be balanced by that which is equally heavy on the other side. Thus, when one violates another, the heavier the violation the heavier must be the balancing weight. This is related unto the Law Of Karma. All things in time come into balance. Wherein entities put on a heavy karma, they may help remove that karma by lightening the load of another who has been violated by that karma, if possible, or by lightening the load of someone who has equally heavy load. It is simply a matter of weights and measures and this is the Cosmic Law Of Balance, Justice and Karmic Accounts.
(Source: Celestial Awareness, Paul Shockley, Interpreter, Personal Life reading for Rev. Robert Hanzel, 1/24/88) THE LAW OF THOUGHT This Awareness indicates there is an old occult Law which entities may benefit from understanding. This as the Law of Thought, wherein: energy follows thought; those who wish to energize, need only to direct their thoughts toward that target which need energizing. THE LAW OF VIBRATION The Law of Vibration states that any vibration which is sent out for good, for service, increases into higher frequencies as it moves through space, until it returns to its origin, bringing the gifts of those higher frequencies.

That forces drawing on vibration for selfish purposes of lust, power and greed, drawing these forces into themselves, will receive vibrations that decrease in their frequency level, moving into lower frequencies as they enter into one's being, requiring that the being needs another "fix" of incoming vibration and energy, then another, and another, as though one were addicted.

Magnetism, the drawing of energy, decreases the vibratory rate while radiance, the giving forth of energy, increases its vibratory rate. Wherein entities radiate good, those energies increase into higher frequencies and bringing back good. Wherein entities send for the selfish energies, those energies bring back, as magnets, the lower vibrational forces.
(Source; 1977, Rev. of A, CAC)

THE LAW OF PRIVACYIt is the Divine Law that every person is entitled to the sanctity of their own privacy. It is against that Law to infringe on this right of individual privacy. Included in this infringement would be such things as mind reading without the person's consent or questioning their motives or thoughts concerning their personal lives without consent.
( Source: The Cosmic Laws & Precepts of Cosmic Awareness, 1986, ACUS).
THE LAW OF SECURITY The Law of Security is that Law which provides a foundation upon which an entity stands; whereby the entity can select a form of expression that allows his or her best performance without infringing on the security or expression of others who have the same rights. THE LAW OF DIVINE MANIFESTATION The Law of Divine Manifestation requires a manifestor to believe in the principle that whatever is needed for one's growth and fruition will be supplied by the Universe, for whatever price the manifestor truly believes is fair. But the manifestor must believe he or she truly has the right to receive the manifestation at the price of energy cost the entity believes is fair.

If it is a worthy request, and the manifestor believes it is allotted at the time of asking, it will come. A worthy request, expressed through prayer, imaging, ritual or whatever method, is anything that harms no one, but benefits all involved. It is a win-win relationship. Anything that harms another, either in the process or the outcome of manifestation, is not of the Divine and will carry a karmic debt.
(Source; Cosmic Awareness. U.S.S. Channelship, Aquarian Church, Cosmic Awareness General Reading, Paul Shockley, May 18, 1987. p.6.) THE LAW OF CREDIBILITY The Law of Credibility states that credibility is the ability of entities to earn, receive and accept credit for what they do, and to refuse credit for anything they have not done.
Your credibility is the standard by which others may evaluate you to determine how they will relate to you.

THE LAW OF AUTHORITY The Law of Authority states that whoever is liable has the authority, and to the degree of that liability the degree of authority should be given. The author of an action or work who is liable for that work has the authority over that work, to dispose of as he or she wishes, along with the liability. THE LAW OF COURAGE The Law of Courage states that courage is the ability to not only face a danger but to risk an action to defuse that danger. Fear departs when action enters. The degree of courage is in proportion to the degree of danger, risk and fear a courageous action must defuse.

THE LAW OF MONEY The Law of Money states that money is but an artificially created symbol used as a substitute to store energies borrowed, earned, spent, owed, claimed or exchanged. To be 'good' money the symbol must be acceptable to others in a society who are willing to part with valuables or energies in exchange for the money symbol. Each society may further define its own money and the use thereof.
Source: Same as above, Section VIII, p.66. THE LAW OF POVERTY The Law of Poverty states that to the degree one withholds one's productivity and energy in hopes someone else will offer theirs instead, to that same degree, an entity earns and experiences poverty.
Source: Same as above, Section II, p. 16. (Awareness continues indicating nine additional aspects of poverty, the "Ten aspects of the Law of Poverty".)

THE LAW OF POVERTY (Part 2) The Law of Poverty states that to the degree one withholds one's productivity and energy in hopes someone else will offer theirs instead,to that same degree, an entity earns and experiences poverty. A SECOND aspect of poverty comes to any who are productive and giving, but who fail to properly take hold and claim their proper reward in a suitable manner. A THIRD aspect of poverty comes to those who attempt to unfairly claim the energies of another. A FOURTH aspect of poverty comes to those who squander their blessings, spending their energies in a wasteful manner until they have spent their time, money, health, mind or other assets and have nothing left. A FIFTH aspect of poverty comes to those who become so fixated on pinching pennies they lose their friends, health and opportunities for being penny wise and pound foolish. Such persons often reject others or good opportunities in hasty reaction and poor discernment of the situation, thus losing a
valuable asset or friend, or they may fail to avoid someone or something when it would be wise to do so; for not everything can be accepted or one will suffer from excessive garbage filling one's life.

A SIXTH aspect of poverty comes to those who focus so much on one thing at any cost, that they fail to diversify and partake of the entire banquet of life and, in the end, find themselves with a vast amount of one thing, but having little else. A SEVENTH aspect of poverty is that which comes to those who have been convinced that they are unworthy or incapable of having anything of value, because they are fated or destined or "karmically cursed" to be in poverty, and by such belief they accept their suffering plight. An EIGHTH aspect of poverty comes through the collective karma, the cultural karma such as: political, environmental, social, natural or geophysical forces that affect the masses and are usually impersonal to the injured individual. A NINTH aspect of poverty comes to those who have been attacked by psychic curses from another, or by one's own sense of guilt from deep within the subconscious mind, to prevent the entity from having the benefits that would bring happiness. The TENTH aspect of poverty comes to those who are given everything to make them happy, but have not learned that happiness must be generated from attitudes within or outer benefits will bring little or no relief.

THE LAW OF GRACE The Law of Grace states that any Divine Being can apply the LAW OF MERCY to grant a pardon to one who has made a mistake, so that the Karma may be set aside. But such an act of pardon is entirely at the discretion of the Divine Being, and though individuals may request and seek, or beg, they have no right to demand grace, mercy or forgiveness, when other karmic justice is their due.
Source: Cosmic Awareness, U.S.S. ChannelShip, ACUS, "Writing Your Own Life's Script", Discourse #2, Paul Shockley, Interpreter, October 29, 1986, p.10THE LAW OF FREE WILL
The Law of Free Will states that Divine Will grants each entity the right to direct and pursue his or her life and the quality of that life as it was presented, so long as he or she does not violate this same right of others. A right that excludes the rights of others is other than Divine.

Source: Same as above, Discourse #12, p.59.

THE LAW OF TENFOLD RETURN
The Law of Tenfold Return is that Universal Principle wherein gifts freely given for Spiritual Use return to the grantor good fortune equal to or greater than ten times the loss. This Law works on the principle that when a vacuum is created it must be filled, when a seed is magically planted, it will bear fruit greater that its weight and original value.
Source: Cosmic Awareness, U.S.S. ChannelShip. General Reading No. 85-5-19

THE LAW OF NEW BEING The Law of New Being lessens polarities and reconciles oppositions. The Law of New Being reconciles the "yes" and "no", right and wrong, good and evil, and brings the concepts of God and Satan together in harmonious resolution, integrated totally under the Law of One.

The Law of New Being acknowledges the return of Lucifer to the Godhead or Source of all Being, and realizes there is no longer a force of evil in the world; that there is only the echo, the memory and the fear of evil remaining, and that these are also fading from consciousness.

Those who follow the Law of New Being are beings who may transcend matter, or any situation that appears to matter, and may move into new states of being with greater freedom and energies to create the New World of the New Being; The Unified States of Awareness. THE LAW OF MAGIC The Law of Magic is that Law which creates change. Physical change comes about through the change of consciousness. Consciousness changes in response to anticipation. Anticipation results from imagery and preparation, fears and desires, based on fallacies or facts. Preparation for change, changes consciousness, which results in physical change.

The quality and quantity of description and imagery, the intensity and consistency of attitudes and actions, the collective or disruptive energies of others, all work together to influence the direction and course of the change. Every entity to some degree, for good or ill, is both victim and master of the Law of Magic. The Law of Magic is an extension of the Law of Unity.

THE LAW OF HARMONY AND AGREEMENT
The Law of Harmony and Agreement states that efforts to manipulate, trick coerce or force another to behave in harmony and agreement will only disrupt previously established areas of harmony and agreement. Yet, even between the most hostile enemies, some area of harmony and agreement can be discovered when there is an agreement to discover these areas.

Ever increasing harmony and agreement grows from the mutual agreement to discover more areas of agreement. This Law is based on discovering harmony and agreement rather than on its enforcement.

THE LAW OF AFFECTION
The Law of Affection states that affection is a beam of love which may light upon a subject and create an object of adoration. The Law of Affection holds closely but with open arms; one wishing to see all creatures free beings by freeing others from oneself, then from themselves, their fears, their guilts and inhibitions, and from those blocks that hide their preciousness.

The Law of Affection possesses not, yet sacrifices nothing of itself, for it gives without an expectation--even from the joy of giving. As the sun must shine to be the sun, so affection must be given if one is to be affectionate. The Law of Affection cannot be manipulated or controlled, for its only purpose is to give. Nor can it be possessed or used, but when one's heart is open, it enters and possesses it and uses it to shine its warmth of love upon the world.

THE LAW OF MACROCOSM AND MICROCOSM
The Law of Macrocosm and Microcosm is the first Law of infinity.
This law indicates that the whole is equal, more or less to the sum of its parts, depending on the ordering of those parts. In each living thing, in everything that exists there is within it some part of the whole. The whole is the grouping together of each of its parts in a certain order. An analogy is the sea or ocean in comparison with a drop of dew on the petal of a flower.

THE LAW OF FREEDOM The LAW OF FREEDOM is that movement which gives entities the space to expand and grow in their ability to function in a manner that will allow others their freedom and space to grow, in order to free still others. Freedom is not a final state of being, but an ever-expanding action of giving each other the space to create spaces for others, to create more spaces for still others yet to come.

Freedom may be helped or hindered by laws, definitions, principles, descriptions, disciplines and boundaries. Universal Laws free each and every one. Any law which does less is subject to the rule of a greater law.
No one is free until each is free and all are freeing each other.

THE LAW OF PROJECTIONThe Law of Projection states that the film that projects, depicts, and creates the events of one's life story, is stored within one's consciousness, and can only be changed from within. The intimate conversations, attitudes, and the relationship one has within one's own consciousness, is reflected in experiences on the outer screen of life; one is both the camera and projector of his life story.

Those who wish to see a world premier of new and joyous experiences instead of reruns, trash films, soap operas, tragedies, illness and hostilities, must refuse to bring or to allow such films, concepts or images to enter their theaters or be filed into their storage banks. Those who seek out, allow, or enjoy filming such trash do surely fill their cameras with the material that may eventually become part of their outward life. Those who allow only the highest, clearest and the best thoughts, ideas, words, experiences and images to enter their studio shall create and project films that show a life of joy and art.

THE LAW OF PROSPERITYThe Law of Prosperity states that one prospers in direct proportion to the enjoyment one receives in seeing the prosperity of oneself and others. And that one's prosperity is denied in direct proportion to one's feeling of guilt for being prosperous, or at the envy and hostility one feels or witnessing other's prosperity. This Law states that when one prospers all may prosper.

The Law of Prosperity works for those who hold images, feelings, actions, dialogue, and attitudes associated with beauty, joy, love and prosperity, and works against those who hold images, feelings, actions, dialogues and attitudes associated with ugliness, self-pity, complaints, envy and hostility toward oneself or any other person, group, race, or class.

Those who think, feel, act and speak of themselves as being poor and needy must spend three times the energy for the same prosperity received by those who think, feel, act, and speak of themselves as being wealthy and prosperous. An attitude that dwells in depression leads to the way of physical, spiritual, mental, social and financial depression.

Those who maintain prosperous attitudes, even in states of poverty, are foreign to such states and will not be allowed to remain out of place in those poverty situations, but will instead be deported to those prosperous states where such prosperous attitudes belong.

THE LAW OF ENTHUSIASMThis Awareness indicates that essentially, when an entity begins to stagnate and move through life in a robot type of behavior pattern, the entity also begins to lose enthusiasm for life; this becomes purely mechanical in nature wherein the entity has indulged in all the thrills desired and nothing seems to change and the entity does not progress.

This Awareness indicates when entities move along in actions wherein new discoveries relating to self, new self-discoveries are made, the entity then purges himself of the old and brings in the new energies of the discovery. This Awareness indicates this action increases enthusiasm.

This Awareness indicates that the word "enthusiasm" relates unto Spirit within, and the Spirit within is that which enhances the life-force factor. This Awareness indicates wherein an entity begins to lose that enthusiasm, the entity's life is essentially stagnating, and as the stagnation continues, the entity begins to lose more and more of the protective aura around the body and around the psyche and the entity begins to lose more and more of the vitality of the physical and spiritual body.

This Awareness suggests that as this vitality is lost through this stagnation, boredom and the lack of personal and spiritual growth, the entity's depleted aura tends to draw in the forces which result in illness or accident or further weakening off the spiritual and physical body. This becomes likened unto an invitation to the higher forces, the so-called Lords of Karma*, to take action to remove the entity from this plane.
(* See the Law of Karma)

This Awareness indicates that the Law of Enthusiasm is that Law which allows entities to be filled with Spirit which then, in turn may be used for purposes that can create greater expressions of Spirit. This Awareness indicates that those who use enthusiasm for destructive purposes are those who shall reap the whirlwind of devastation on many planes and many levels thereafter.

THE LAW OF REALITYThe Law of Reality is that Law which is measured by empirical formulae, which are set up in relation to dimension. If an object can be seen, can be heard, can be measured, can be felt, then this object is said to have reality. This is a measurable idea, something in the dimension of time as well as the dimension of energy and the dimension of form.

THE LAW OF ACTUALITYThe Law of Actuality is a very different idea. It is that Law which exists in the mind but not necessarily in the material form. It does not have to have dimension. It does not have to have form. It is what is believed.

THE LAW OF THERMO-DYNAMICSThe Law of Thermo-Dynamics states that a body of higher heat or energy can transfer heat or energy to a lower body of heat or energy, but the lower body of heat or energy cannot transfer heat or energy to the higher body of heat or energy unless the lower body exerts enough energy to do so.

NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTIONBodies of matter do not alter their motions in any way except as the result of forces applied to them. A body at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, it continues to move in the same direction with the same speed, unless a force is impressed upon it.

The second Law is made up of two different parts;
A) When different forces are allowed to act upon free bodies, the rates at which the momentum changes are proportional to the forces applied.
B) The direction of the change in momentum by a force is that of line of action of the force.

The third Law is the Law that asserts the equality of "action" and the "reaction". That is to say, that each action has its equal and opposite reaction.

VICO'S LAW OF "RICORSI"Vico's Law of "Ricorsi"
1) To recur, to return upon the start of itself; to be cyclical.

2) "Ricorsi" is the pure form of reflection; the turning or bending back of mind upon itself.

THE ARCHETYPAL LAWThe Archetypal Law is that Law which is the prototype for the echoing reflections of other Laws. The Law of Archetypes as that which serves as the skeleton or framework for other laws.
The first Archetypal law as the Law of One.
The second as the Law of Two, the third as the Law of Three.

This Apparent division as never-ending so long as the Law of Description is in effect. Concepts and personalities, number, shapes, forms, situations that serve as patterns for others to follow are archetypes, even as the pyramid was an archetype for the hierarchy systems, and the zodiac shall be the archetype for the New World.

THE LAW OF DESCRIPTIONThe Law of Description is that Law which serves as a tool for creative purposes. This as likened unto the paint brush of the artist, the chisel of the sculptor. Description as that which carves out images, creates boundaries, creates shapes and forms, creates limitations, creates confinements, and creates also those concepts which expand those boundaries to release from confinement.

The Law of Description knows no morality. The Law of Description is capable of creating anything for any entity. This relates unto the Law of Magic in that anything described is on its course toward creating a manifestation to the degree of impact on its description. The nature of manifestation depends upon the intensity of the collective or disruptive energies involved.

THE LAW OF LIABILITYThe Law of Liability states that one is held liable for the use or abuse of whatever rights one has, and one is held liable for using or neglecting to use those rights. Even where it is clearly one person's fault, the action of making that person a scapegoat for misdeeds is seldom in itself a proper solution. For the main reason for finding the cause of a mishap is to be able to prevent the mishap from recurring.
("The Cosmic Voyage", ACUS, May, 1988, p.6)

THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY
The Law of Responsibility states that one entity or more working in a manner that is responsive to the needs of many does receive energy from those many. The ability to respond to the needs of others allows that responsive entity energy from all those who await that response. This relates to The Law of Co-Creation, yet it is somewhat different, for one entity who is greatly responsive can have the power of 144 whose energies are simply utilized for their own personal interest.

THE LAW OR PRINCIPLE OF PENETRATIONThe Law or Principle of Penetration states that anything which is looked at with great attention by great quality of consciousness penetrates to the heart, and then emanates into all of consciousness.

THE LAW OF EXPANSION OR INCLUSIONThis Awareness indicates that the Law of Expansion is that inclusion which results when the definition and description of a part or situation is expanded to include something else. The Law of Expansion as that which is never-ending as long as there is more which may be included by redescribing.

Those who understand the Law of Expansion will understand that they are more than a body, more than a name, more than a social being, more than a life of action, more than a center of a society, more than an observer and an observed, more than a symbol for humanity, more than the awareness of the earth and solar system, more than the confines of form: that they are all that is and all that can possible be.

They are what is and what they may include in description themselves. Those who move from the Law of Expansion into the Law of Exclusion or Contraction would describe themselves as being something less than all that is.

This being an exclusive Law which describes them as being this, but not that;
this but not that; and this but not that until they are almost nothing at all in a universe of overwhelming forces. Beware the Law of Exclusion, lest you exclude yourself from all else into the oblivion of the bottomless pit.

THE LAW OF SUGGESTIONThe Law of suggestion states that a statement carries with it an impact associated with the Law of Description. When given through certain levels of consciousness and moments of expression and situations of experience, such suggestions may have a terrific impact upon the psyche of oneself or another.

(Example):

This Awareness suggests that when a healing is given for entities, that the healer also gives the suggestion. This Awareness indicates this in particular to these who find it difficult to accept a healing for any particular length of time or a permanent healing.

This Awareness suggests that when an entity gives a healing to such entities, that it be stated that "This healing appears to be good for "X" number of months, at which time other forces within your own psyche are capable of taken over and continuing the healing."

This Awareness indicates that such a suggestion has that which can be beneficial for these entities, that this as related unto the Law of Suggestion.

THE LAW OF SILENCEThe Law or Principle of Silence is that which allows entities the space, peace and time to rest and recuperate from the noises and chatterings outside.

The silence is found within the soul, and is not limited to sound, but also relates to silence in terms of motion, emotion and feeling. The Law of Silence contains also the chaos which can exist in any moment when that chaos is experienced from levels of non-resistance.

THE LAW OF THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MINDThe Law of The Sub-conscious mind is not able to distinguish fact from fiction. If it is convinced a false statement is true, it will act as if it were true. If it is convinced a hot ember is cool, it will not experience a burn. If convinced a piece of ice is red hot, it will experience a burn.

If convinced you are a failure, it will make sure that you fail. If it receives conflicting data, it will produce conflicting results. If it convinced that you can do great and near impossible feats, it will act to make these things occur. It is truly the "Genie in the bottle", which grants your wishes according to the "commands" you give it in the "intimate conversations you have with yourself".

THE LAW OF HAPPINESSThis Awareness indicates that the Law of Happiness as that Law which states that it is not who you are, what you do, or what you have that determines happiness, but how you feel about who you are, what you do, and what you have. THE LAW OF PARADOXIs that Law which recognizes the movement of energies in four dimensions simultaneously. This Awareness indicates the Law of Paradox as that which combines the Law of Cause and Effect along with the Law of Inertia, the Law of Microcosm and Macrocosm, and the Law of Vibration.

This Awareness indicates the Law of Paradox does relate to that which is the focus of attention whereby energies do come together in a collision at a certain point, whereby that point does create a relationship using the Law of Relativity as a type of, as a part of itself, whereby this point in relationship does reflect that which is the microcosms and macrocosm, does relate to movements which are occurring at a certain momentum.

This as the Law of Inertia; whereby an equal and opposite reaction does occur which moves entities into another dimension on this macrocosmic level and on those vibrations in between. This relating to the echoing effect of an action.

The Law of Paradox, seen in a flat plane, would be likened unto a stone dropped in a stream, and watching the ripples move out. The Law of Paradox in a cube of space would create vibrations in all directions, whereby that stone was emanating an energy, though not being dripped, but simply vibration, and that energy would be felt in various places within that cube of space.

The Law of Paradox in the fourth dimensional level as that which occurs in all places simultaneously on certain vibratory rates likened unto the ringing of a bell which vibrates every particle of energy within its periphery.

The Law of Paradox is that which touches into such high levels of vibration and such dense levels of vibration simultaneously that the entire area appears to be alive, and whatever is said about one level can also hold true about the next, yet can also appear to be untrue.

THE LAW OF RELATIVITYThis Awareness indicates that the Law of Relativity is but the relationship of all things understood by the particular viewpoint from which they are seen.

(Example): From Vol. 1 lesson #6 of the Correspondence Course.

...As the experience continues, greater awareness and the desire for more understanding increases. The entity, the force, then begins to probe into the nature of those force outside of its own control, outside of its own understanding. This Awareness indicates as this occurs, the quality of reason, the rational approach begins to develop.

And in this development, there comes about that aspect of consciousness which desires to put things in order: to classify, to see things in retrospect, to see things in in order of cause and effect, in the order of polarities and their relationship to one another and in the order of relative placement and relationship.

This Awareness indicates that the consciousness then begins to observe from a particular viewpoint, and that particular viewpoint brings forth an observation and an understanding of the nature of outside forces which are peculiar to that particular viewpoint.

This Awareness indicates this as the basis for the Law of Relativity, which in simplified terms is but the relationship of all things understood by the particular viewpoint from which they are seen. This Awareness indicates as the viewpoint shifts, the relative relationship of those things also becomes different.

The train moving at a particular rate of speed in relation to the entity standing beside the tracks is somewhat different from the rate of speed of another train passing in the apposite direction, or of an automobile traveling in the same direction as the train.

This Awareness indicates the relative viewpoint of an entity looking at an elephant from the front is somewhat different from the entity looking at an elephant from an airplane; or the entity from beneath the elephant, or the entity from behind elephant. This Awareness indicates that each viewpoint is relative, and each is accurate, and yet the descriptions will be totally different.

THE LAW OF LEVERAGEThis Awareness indicates the future is never fixed. The future depends on what is occurring in the present, and a change in consciousness at present will effect a change in future experiences. This is related to the Law of Leverage: wherein a small amount of energy exerted to change the course of events at a present time (at the right moment) can move mountains in the future.

THE LAW OF AUTHORITYThis Awareness suggests that the Law of Authority is that Law which states that wherein the entity who is capable of accepting the responsibility for an act, is worthy of having the authority to enact that act, to initiate that act. This Awareness indicates the entity who has authority must be ready to accept the responsibility for the authorization of that act. This Awareness indicates that there are many entities who want authority, but who do not accept responsibility that follows the authority they seek. They want to express themselves, have the authority over their lives, yet they wish, yet they wish to avoid the consequences for their actions. You cannot have both ways.

THE LAW OF JOY
The Law of Joy is that Law wherein entities experience joy, happiness and inner peace. Creation is observed by the observer, dissolving the higher and lower selves, changing all into nameless fragments of the Divine or Selves of the Self of this Awareness. This act of allowance, becoming One with the Divine, this process of surrendering is what brings entities the rewards of deep joy, happy feelings and inner peace. Entities are suggested to view this Awareness as an observer that does not judge or condemn but sees and accepts everything as It Is, Divine Creator's eternal bliss

Perry:

I know it sounds elementary and trite, but what about the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? Very uncomplicated.

I don't think you need to belong to a religious group to practice this philosophy. If everybody did this, what a much better world we would have.

A few thoughts:

First of all, LAW is not really so much about RIGHT and WRONG as it is about maintaining order, maintaining property rights, and protecting public safety.

So, LAW is really no standard of RIGHT and WRONG. Sometimes, breaking a specific law for greater good can be right. Sometimes, a ruthless application of some certain law can be morally quite wrong.

Secondly, different societies have developed different standards for Right and Wrong. In some societies, it is considered extremely wrong to lie - in others, making certain lies for business or social reasons is considered the norm and not wrong at all. Almost all modern societies consider homicide to be murder and quite wrong - but it has not been two hundred years back when a former U.S. Vice President shot the Secretary of the Treasury dead in a duel over some perceived insult. A former U.S. president similarly shot a rival dead for disparaging his wife, and was still elected president later.

I think that right and wrong comes from personal values - developed from distilling the values of the society in which you live down to a personal code.

On a larger scale, I'm of the opinion that morality is less a universal constant than it is a civil and social standard defined by environmental requirements.

That said, my personal morality is pretty simple - I shall do nothing that directly impacts the life, liberty, or property of another living being.

A good standard for right and wrong would be to work together with others, because it benefits you, it benefits others, and in others being benefitted, you will in turn benefit more.

Perry, shame on you. You didn't even attempt to answer the other questions posted on your other thread. You merely ignored them and started this new thread. Is this a regular habit of yours? It's quite off-putting.

Seriously, I think we all kind of know when we are doing right and wrong. There are no absolutes. What is right in one situation would be inappropriate in another. I really don't need a list to work this out. I don't need an external 'being' to set it straight. We have come very far from archaic bible morals and standards, therefore slavery, genocide, stoning etc are generally viewed as BAD things. And we are working toward a brighter future too. But it's always evolving. There is no easy or pat answer. We have a responsiblity to stay tuned in and enlighten ourselves. I know this is tougher than 10 laws or even 1, but that is the load that humans bear. Constant reevaluation. Constant decision making. No list to hide behind.

Nothing will ever change this.

So, how is an absolute standard relevant to our lives?

What's a Good Standard for Right and Wrong?
