Original Law as understood from my perspective using Taoist teaching derived from the Tao Te Ching.\n\nThe first stanza of the Tao Te Ching reads:\n-1-\nThe Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao.\nThe name that can be named is not the eternal name.\nThe nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.\nThe name is the mother of the ten thousand things.\nSend your desires away and you will see the mystery.\nBe filled with desire and you will see only the manifestation.\nAs these two come forth they differ in name.\nYet at their source they are the same.\nThis source is called a mystery.\nDarkness within darkness, the gateway to all mystery.\n\nIn line with this teaching, my writing is my interpretation of my perceptions and is not the divine truth. That which is spoken or written down is not reality, it is an interpretation of reality. \nWhen you name something you claim ownership of that which is named. In the naming you begin to create a web of \u201cten thousand things\u201d to support the naming.\n\nHowever, the source is ever changing and remains constant, un-named and the source of all mystery. The Tao, Path or Way, is unlimited and exists as a divine expression in physical manifestation.\nThe origin of law emanates from the source and must return to the source.\n\nIn stanza 42 of the Tao Te Ching we read:\n-42-\nThe Tao gives birth to the One.\nThe One gives birth to two.\nTwo gives birth to three.\nAnd three gives birth to the ten thousand things.\nThe ten thousand things have their backs in the shadow\nwhile they embrace the light.\nHarmony is achieved by blending the breaths of these two forces.\nPeople dislike the words \u201calone,\u201d \u201chelpless,\u201d \u201cworthless,\u201d\nyet this is how Princes describe themselves.\nSo it is that sometimes a thing is increased\nby being diminished and diminished by being increased.\nWhat others teach I also teach:\n\u201cA violent person will not die a natural death.\u201d\nI shall make this the basis of my teaching.\n\nThe two dimensional picture above is an attempt to show a multi-dimensional concept from this stanza.\n\nAs the Tao, Path or Way, from the creator as the nothing, it emanates outward and gives birth to the One-verse, universe, under the influence of what we call Natural Law or Universal Law.\n\nUniversal Law as expressed by many include, but not limited to, such concepts as;\nMentalism - Everything is consciousness.\nCause and Effect \u2013 Every effect has a cause.\nPolarity \u2013 Duality expressed in opposites.\nBalance \u2013 Equilibrium in all things.\nCorrespondence \u2013 As above, so below.\nVibration \u2013 Nothing remains constant and is ever changing.\n\nIn the journey outward, the universe gives birth to the duality of Physical Manifestation under the influence of the Interactive Laws.\n\nInteractive Laws as expressed by many include, but not limited to, such concepts as:\nConsequence - For every action there is a reaction.\nEquilibrium - For every force there is an equal and opposite force to maintain balance.\nAttraction \u2013 Opposites attract.\nRelativity \u2013 Everything acts in relation to something else as part of the one.\nManifestation \u2013 Energy flows where attention goes.\nPerception \u2013 Everything is interpreted according to how it is perceived.\n\nContinuing the journey outward, the duality of the combining of opposing forces under Natural and Interactive Laws gives birth to Humanity, amongst other species, under the influence of Social Laws.\n\nIt is under these laws that the \u201cten thousand things\u201d, in ancient Chinese writings this can also be a reference to \u201call things\u201d, are created.\n\nSocial Laws as expressed across the planet and within different social structures surely are the \u201cten thousand things\u201d.\n\nIt is from within the Social Laws that the Rule of Law was given birth in recognition that the created cannot control the creator.\n\nSocial Laws as expressed within social structures include, but are not limited to, such concepts as;\nTribal Lore\nSocial mores and rules\nLegislative rules\nPolices and Procedures\nContracts\nAgreements\n\nThese Social Laws govern how we interact at a social level and are governed by the Divine Law, Universal\/Natural Law, and Interaction Law. These laws are not separated or hierarchical but are part of the whole. In order to be harmonious and in equilibrium they must exist as a reflection of each layer  above, outside, above and below.\n\nIn stanza 40 \u2013 Lao Tse writes a guidance in preparation for stanza 42 and says:\n\n-40-\nReturning is the direction of the Tao.\nYielding is the way of the Tao.\nThe ten thousand things are born of Being and Being is born of Nonbeing.\n\nIn all laws, the Path must always return to the source. The Ten Thousand Things must return to the Three, the Three returns to the Two, the Two returns to the One, and the One returns to Nothing or Source.\n\nThis is a reminder that all things created must eventually return to its source and be accountable to its source. It is an expression of the Universal Law of Rhythm, of ebb and flow. What goes out must return.\n\nAs an entity incarnated on the physical plane, we are living beings expressing the Source in physical reality. We are all multi-dimensional beings not limited by our physical bodies. We carry with us the source of all laws within our being recorded on our soul memory and experienced during our spiritual journey.\n\nThat is why the Divine Law can never be written down, because it is already recorded on your soul and any 3 dimensional attempt to do so does it a dis-service.\n \nAnd so, I apologise to you for this attempt!\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
