Natural Law

The Luminous Path of the Eternal Law Beloved seekers of truth gathered in the spirit of inquiry and growth. We stand today before a subject of transcendent magnitude: God’s Natural Law. To understand this law is not merely to memorize a set of rigid statutes, but to gaze into the very mind of the Creator and to comprehend the rhythm to which the entire universe dances.

It is the singular, absolute necessity for human happiness; it serves as the compass pointing toward our destiny, and it is only when we depart from its radiant trajectory that we suffer misfortune. Unlike the ephemeral decrees of human legislators, which shift with the sands of time and culture, God’s law is eternal and immutable, as eternal as the Creator Himself.

We must recognize that this Divine Law encompasses the totality of existence. It governs the silent, majestic movements of inert matter, the domain of our physical sciences, and with equal precision, it governs the relations of the soul with God and its fellow beings. These latter rules are the moral laws, the mastery of which belongs to the domain of the perfected soul.

You might ask, Can a human being master such vast knowledge? The answer is a unequivocal yes, but we must be patient. A single existence, a mere blink in the span of eternity, is insufficient for such a monumental task. Consider the chasm between a primitive mind and a civilized intellect; one short life is not enough to traverse that distance. Thus, the justice of multiple incarnations becomes clear. We return, again and again, shedding our ignorance, developing our intelligence, and refining our comprehension of good and evil with every new existence.

But where can we find this law? Do we need to scale mountains or scour ancient libraries? No. The Divine Law is inscribed in the most intimate and sacred of places: it is written in the conscience. If it is written within us, why do we need revelations? Why do we need teachers? It is because, blinded by the density of our material existence and our lower instincts, we have disregarded and forgotten this inner voice. Therefore, in His infinite mercy, God has sent high-order spirits, geniuses, and prophets throughout the ages to remind us of our duty and to catalyze our progress.

Among these, one figure stands as the zenith of moral perfection: Jesus. He is an example of a incarnated pure spirit human being to walk the Earth, and his doctrine is an excellent example of the expression of God's law. While ancient sages planted the seeds, often cloaked in allegory, sutra or incomplete due to the barbarism of their times, Jesus offered a excellent standard.

Yet, even Jesus spoke in parables, tailoring his message to the capacity of his listeners. Today, we have entered an era where truth must be intelligible to all, stripped of veil and mystery. This is the era of Spiritism, the teaching of the Spirits, which comes to explain God’s laws fully, confounding the proud and unmasking hypocrisy. It provides the key to unlocking the great truths scattered like seeds across the philosophies and religions of the past.

Let us now turn our hearts to the practical application of this law: the distinction between Good and Evil. Morality is simply the rule of good conduct, the art of distinguishing the light from the shadow. Good is that which aligns with God’s law; evil is everything that deviates from it. And how do we discern this? We have been given a sovereign guide, a rule of reciprocity that is as safe as it is profound: "Do unto others what you would want them to do unto you".

But why does evil exist at all? Could God not have created us perfect? We must understand that spirits are created simple and ignorant. We are not born perfect; we are born with the potential for perfection. Just as one cannot understand the concept of a mountain without the valley, or the hardness of a rock without touching it, the spirit must acquire experience through contrast. Evil, therefore, is often the result of our own egoism, selfishness and lack of experience.

However, let us not judge our brothers and sisters too harshly. Culpability is relative. A primitive soul yielding to instinct is less guilty in God's eyes than an enlightened person who commits a simple injustice while knowing better. The more we know and the greater our elevation, the greater our responsibility. We often blame our surroundings, claiming the atmosphere of vice is irresistible. This is an illusion. It is a drag, a pull, yes, but never irresistible. Likewise we can choose to blame others but this also is an illusion. Spirits are linked and attracted to one another by sympathy and affinity. Hence you are responsible for the world you find yourself in, the situations you inhabit and the people that surround you.

We choose our trials to prove our strength. There is no merit in doing good if it costs us nothing, if it requires no self-denial. The widow who shares her only crust of bread possesses a nobility far greater than the wealthy benefactor who gives only from their surplus. Merit lies in the difficulty of the action. Even those who feel trapped by their social position have the power to do good. There is no one so destitute that they cannot be useful. To be charitable is not merely to give alms; it is to offer help, support, and love to anyone in need, resisting the blindness of selfishness and egoism.

Finally, how do we organize this vast system of laws? While we may categorize them into ten parts, laws of worship, labor, reproduction, preservation, destruction, society, progress, equality, liberty and Law of Justice, Love, and Charity. See my videos on each of these Law’s of God. This, my friends, is spiritual life.

Let us, therefore, walk away from here with a renewed spirit. Let us listen to the law written in our consciences, and embrace the difficulties of life not as punishments, but as the glorious friction necessary to polish the diamond of our souls. Let us do good not just when it is easy, but when it is hard, for that is where true merit lies. The law is one, and it is a law of love.
