All the laws discovered
by science so far are little more than minimum effects, barely
physically perceptible, of the far more reaching Universal laws, or
laws of Creation, that pass through everything, flow through
everything and maintains everything that exists, including the
material sphere of Creation and this also includes our small planet.
The “law of equal and opposite reaction”, according
to which a body always reacts in the same force and in the opposite
direction that it was applied with, is a gross-matter effect, on a
minimum scale, of a basic universal law.
This law, more adequately called the “law of the
reciprocity”, gives back to each creature everything that he or she
had produced, be it through thoughts, words or actions. It gives back
to each one what was generated by them, independent of the fact if
what they produced was good or bad. What physics knows is the physical
effect, in gross matter that is visible to us, of a law whose basic
statement Jesus had already given humanity two thousand years ago with
the words, “what man sows, he shall reap.” The law of the reciprocity
makes each human his very own judge; the weaver’s loom is placed in
his hands weaving the rug of his own destiny.
The law of the gravity, discovered by Newton and
dissected by the physics of relativity, constitutes up to now the last
obstacle in the elaboration of a “theory of the unified field”, is
also a visible effect of a Universal law.
The law of gravity flows throughout all Creation,
including the ethereal bodies. This law makes each human spirit
ascends or descend to the regions where it belongs according to the
constitution of its soul. After their physical death on Earth “heavy”
souls, burdened with vices and dependencies sink deep down to areas of
equal denseness, dark and coherent to their constitution. However
clean souls, purified, filled with true love for their fellow man and
happiness in life, ascend automatically to luminous areas. Both are
just and unalterable effects of the law of spiritual gravity that like
this, as well as in the other Universal laws maintain the immense
cogwheel of Creation functioning perfectly, and this has been so since
the beginning of the time.
In school we learned that a body could only stay in
motion if it superseded the energy that was given it. On Earth,
friction and gravity act as a brake on the movement of bodies, so it
is always necessary to spend a certain amount of energy to maintain
any kind of movement. Automobiles, airplanes and rockets burn fuel to
maintain their movement; birds have to move their wings to stay in the
air, and fish their fins so they don’t sink. Any body needs a
continuous source of energy to conserve its initial movement. In other
words, one has to keep on moving continuously, if one doesn't want to
stop.
And to stop means stagnation, setback and
deterioration. If a singer doesn't exercise his voice, he soon loses
the pitch and vivacity; if we stop speaking or writing a foreign
language that we have learned, soon we will forget its basic
principals and we will have increasing difficulties in communicating
with it; if an arm is plastered for a long time, it atrophies and
loses its movement; if rain water accumulates in any puddle, it will
become infected with germs quickly.
All of these are also physically visible effects of
another Universal law, the law of movement. This law of Creation
states that conservation and development are only possible through
continuous movement. And just like the other laws of Creation, this
one also crosses all the spheres and flows through all creatures. That
is why the human spirit itself is subject to it, independent of the
fact that it is here on Earth or in some part of the so-called
“hereafter.”
That is why, if one wants to stay healthy, if one
intends also to continue existing, the human spirit has to move
continually. It has to perfect itself constantly towards good. One has
to prevail one’s will over the obstacles that are placed before one,
like self-indulgence, indolence, false directives imposed by a
suspicious mind and blind faith. If one doesn't cheer up to overcome
these obstacles, the human spirit too, will come to a standstill in
its development, with the atrophy of its capacities as an initial
consequence, and as a final result its own automatic disintegration.
Man can contribute considerably to maintain the
perfect functioning of the universal mechanism. But if he prefers to
act in a noxious way, the least that could happen to him is that he
would get badly hurt by the cogwheels of this mechanism. And in spite
of this, if man insists on deregulating the cogwheel, he will simply
be thrown out of it like an inconvenient grain of sand.
Also the present ideas of mutable time, that it can
be stretched or folded, are attempts of understanding the variation on
the concept of space and time that is in fact variable.
It is not time that changes, but the perception we
have of it that does. The more elevated a human spirit is, the more he
will experience and assimilate in a certain space of time, even here
on Earth. For this reason, time seems “to stretch out” to allow the
use of all of one’s impressions.
In the other spheres of Creation, the concepts of
space and time are also completely different, allowing a human in
these areas experience much more than would be possible here on Earth.
There, the intellect chained to matter no longer works, but spiritual
intuition does that provides a much more intense experience of
everything. And it increases continually right up to until the
spiritual sphere of Creation, called Paradise, the final destiny of
human spirits that have developed properly. There, a human experiences
in the space of a day as much as he would in a thousand years on
Earth. And this is the explanation of the Biblical expression “a
thousand years are like one day.”
Through the smallest detectable and perceptible
material effects humanity could, if only it wanted to, recognize the
performance of these far-reaching laws, that already acted undisturbed
in the Universe well before, in terms of time, the first human
appeared on Earth.
* In the third part of this essay we will draw a
parallel between human laws and Universal laws.
