THE LAW OF BALANCE

The Creation-Law of Equilibrium

“Balance in Life: – A Vital Necessity.”

Reader: The Law of Balance --- being relatively straightforward in terms of understanding it in our everyday lives --- would therefore seem not to be a concept requiring deep analysis. However, as we well know by now, it is exactly the deeper meaning of even apparently mundane things that often matter far more than we might otherwise realise. If we are not exposed to any such deeper meaning, everyday life can still obviously proceed “normally”, but the vital element of the “life-connection” to our ultimate “reason for being” is effectively lost to us.

Let’s go straight to the opinions of the great Greek philosopher, Aristotle. He applied his “Golden Mean” to human relationships and mores. He believed that we must be neither cowardly nor rash, but courageous (too little courage is cowardice, too much is rashness), neither miserly nor extravagant but liberal (not liberal enough is miserly, too liberal is extravagant). The same applied to eating. He thought it was dangerous to eat too little, but also dangerous to eat too much.

For our part, Aristotle’s correct analysis on eating has an interesting resonance in our 21^st century societies. Historically, every era of human existence has had cycles of bounty and famine to varying degrees. However, in our world today where mechanised food-production and processing produces huge amounts of the “stuff”, there nonetheless exists a bizarre global imbalance where half the world is diseased and dying because it doesn’t get enough food; and the other affluent half is obese, diseased and dying because it consumes far too much.

Is that not one more really mad aspect of just who and what we have become as a supposedly intelligent and ostensibly-caring species? In truth, that 21^st century reality is a serious indictment on the economic/financial protocol that is the choice of those who control it all; the super-rich, the global corporations and complicit governments --- all hell-bent on forever maintaining the status-quo!

The ethics of both Plato and Aristotle contain echoes of Greek medicine. As such, The Law of Balance, in its perfect outworking, encompasses Aristotle’s “Golden Mean”. Had he lived today he would probably be horrified at the excesses relating to such things as extremes of wealth, and in personal body-development. In his view these kinds of activities and practices were just as unbalanced as someone who only uses his head. He considered such extremes to be an expression of a “warped way of life”.

Aristotle believed that for some acts there is no “mean” at all. Their very nature, such as spite, envy, adultery, theft, and murder, already implies “badness”. These are bad in themselves and not in their excesses and deficiencies. One is always wrong in doing them. (Philosophy History & Problems, Samuel Enoch Stumpf, p 99)

Generally regarded as probably the first philosopher/scientist, Aristotle believed that achieving a happy or “harmonious” life could only be attained by exercising balance in temperament. So, we begin this analysis into Balance with the philosophical musings and conclusions of the ancient Greeks, and we will close it with the knowledge that the “Concept of Balance” ultimately stands as one of the great Primordial Laws of Creation!

Keeping with Aristotle; he divided everything in the natural world into two main categories. In one corner he placed what he termed the non-living things such as rocks, clumps of soil and drops of water etc. and in the other the classification of “living things”. He further divided this latter group into two other categories, “plants” and the “other creatures”. This last was finally divided into two sub-categories, animals, and humans.

Aristotle further reasoned that the “form” of man comprised three parts, a plant-like part, an animal part, and a rational part (the soul or “divine reason”). In his view, man could only live a good life and achieve happiness by using all his abilities and capabilities. In the three forms of happiness that he identified, the first was a life of pleasure and enjoyment, the second as a free and responsible citizen, and the third as a thinker and philosopher. All three needed to be present at the same time for happiness to be attained within the individual, for he rejected all forms of imbalance. Thus, the recognition of a Law of Balance was well-established in those early years.

In everyday tasks, many even apparently mundane things nonetheless automatically obey this Law; like a baby taking its first faltering steps, or a young child learning to stay upright on a bicycle, waiters balancing plates of food in cafes, or even the simple act of walking. Without giving much thought to the mechanism/s in our human body that keeps us upright ---- “orientating fluid” in the inner ear “talking” to the brain --- we would be unable to function. We certainly know about it if hampered by vertigo.

On construction sites large tower cranes with enormous working booms are counter-balanced by opposing shorter booms which are appropriately counter-weighted to achieve safe working balances. In many judicial systems, justice is depicted by a set of scales held by a blindfolded woman, traditionally meaning: “Justice is blind”. Perhaps, however, echoing the wish that a correct weighing and examining in the Courts might be the outcome. For if there is no balance where lies justice? Justice should not be blind, therefore, but all-seeing and spiritually discerning.

The simplest and most quietly obvious example of The Law of Balance is in breathing. We must naturally balance exhaling with inhaling. Correct breathing is vital for optimum health, but shallow breathing into the top of the lungs only, does not provide this. The solution in this case is to regard the “outbreath” as the key. Exhaling properly and emptying the lungs will automatically ensure that a full breath will next be inhaled. Many a respiratory disorder can be at least relieved with consistent and correctly-balanced breathing.

In the home and in the Nation, the need to balance the budget is important in order to live within our means. The daily intake of food generally indicates a basic understanding of the need to try to achieve a “balanced diet” for optimum health i.e., different kinds of foods in appropriate proportions. Quite obviously, too much of just one type of food is not only inappropriate and tiresome, but is also not beneficial for the normal digestive system. Balancing the necessary intake of food is the need to eliminate body wastes as a natural result of this process. Any imbalance resulting from poor digestion or constipation makes us feel unwell.

Workaholic burnout as a result of “all work and no play” is also a transgression against The Law of Balance. Conversely, a life characterised by no work is equally harmful, even after retirement. The right kind of work for each individual should be a feature of the retirement years to help maintain the health of the body until death. Where the elderly happily engage in appropriate activity, higher levels of health are achieved. And where job opportunities are not readily available for someone wishing to work, low self-esteem may be the outcome, thereby resulting in a decline in the emotional and physical health of that individual.

In Spiritual terms, however --- which is the main aspect for our human lives that we are meant to take from all The Divine Laws of Creation --- this Law of the moment, in its effect and outworking should anchor the necessary balance between “giving” and “receiving”. Spiritual Balance also has absolute resonance to our inevitable exit from earth life. Now whilst that subject will be looked at in detail over the next few Discourses, the aspect of Balance as an Eternal Law also naturally has its place here too.

To that end, since our main focus is on the three primary religions of the world, Islam’s take, especially, on this key Primordial Law makes for very interesting reading. For that religion in its overall doctrine --- as we have discovered many times over --- is invariably at serious variance with what we are tasked to Proclaim!

Remember reader; by that Ordination, we do not “ever compare”: We “Correct”! In this instance and for that reason, we will only look at what Islam has to say. Our information comes once more from M.M. Ali’s Koran. Now whilst Ali’s text refers to “Balance”, he actually ventures into the realm of the great Law of Reciprocal Action. Nonetheless, his reasoning has validity for this Discourse too. Refreshingly, certain aspects of his text do resonate with The Law!

(*) Reader: We have just learned what Creation-Law decrees as the true meaning and thus reality of “Resurrection”, and which the previous Discourse explained the “concept” of. In terms of our subject matter of the moment --- and despite seeming to have no connection with “Rebirth” --- it is nonetheless a Lawful reality that has serious resonance to Spiritual Balance in our lives.

The Laws of Creation show us in very clear terms that they inherently possess Divine Love. Love is thus the greatest Power throughout all of Creation! Also inherent in this as a part of Divine Love is Divine Justice. The two cannot be separated.

In direct concert, there is one crucial area of human certainty that we have never gotten right. It is the after-death situation and the inane belief of everlasting rest. No one rests in peace! Were that the case, the great admonition: “Their works shall follow them”, would never have been stated as a warning to us.

The Laws of Creation immutably ensure that “eternal rest” is not at all our reality. Such a false notion is nothing but the fear of death and the human emotionalism surrounding it. That particular concept/belief must surely rate as one of the strangest of human inventions. We are compelled to accept the responsibility of our life’s decisions and live them out, so to speak, even or especially after our physical demise. Then, our “personal books” are audited to determine where there is imbalance, after which we must spiritually address it, i.e., put it right --- “balance our books” --- in the Ethereal World of the beyond.

Since earthly death is the “great leveller” for all, if more people recognised this stark reality --- which cannot be circumvented in any case -- there might personally arise a better attitude to many things. Knowledge of The Law of Balance would therefore certainly benefit the elderly and those consciously approaching death through illness or accident etc. Perhaps a greater effort might then be placed on “balancing one’s spiritual account” long before being overtaken by earthly death.

Unfortunately, however, our present way of thinking clearly shows a general propensity for two things:
         1. To seek as much wealth in the shortest possible time.
         2. For a life of ease on Earth.

Those two points bring us to the nub of our great spiritual blindness “down here”; for far too much of what we do is directed to just “life on earth”! At this point we should remind ourselves again of what we are really tasked to state in this Work! The analyses we undertake are certainly the right thing and would continue to be ---- IF there was any chance of beneficial change for most of global humanity. By that we mean if we were ever going to be open enough to voluntarily make such changes. But we don’t, so we won’t.

In reality, then, the only thing that is now left and which we are tasked to do, is to tell you all how it should have been. If we’ve said this before, that’s O.K., for we will surely reinforce it a few more times before we are finished.

Great wealth is another point of extreme imbalance today. Wealth can achieve wonderful goals and is not, in itself, a bad thing. However, whilst a few of the super-rich have used that money for good --- such as the “Mercy Ships” and their unselfish work --- most of “them” simply hoard it or use it for superficial or selfish ends. It thus loses its great potential and value and spiritually degrades the holder/s of it. It is a sad indictment on today’s society that goals or earthly activities with a spiritual content are not regarded or valued highly as befits their true worth. The scales of global society are well and truly tipped toward overindulgence, base passions, and immorality, to our spiritual and physical detriment.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) observed that if there were no limiting factors in nature, one species of plant or animal could engulf the entire globe. The balance is maintained because many species hold each other in check. Man is the only “spanner in the works” here, as our activities invariably create imbalance.

In “Spiritual terms”, however, it should not be assumed that the overall application of The Law of Balance in “giving” necessarily requires a similar kind of return contribution or payment to that received. Personal circumstances may decree otherwise.

In such cases the recipient will fulfil the requirements of this Law if he evinces deep and genuine gratitude for the help given. Or perhaps he may be in a position to tender good advice to his benefactor who can then put it to good use for himself. So, regardless of personal situations, everyone is able to fulfil the demands of The Law of Balance in some way. The fact that many do not unequivocally reveals our actual level of spiritual immaturity where the unhelpful human traits of selfishness, thoughtlessness, or just plain bad habits have become more the norm.

Thus, in respecting this Eternal Law, we should not unnecessarily worry about what should be given in return. It behoves us to simply give the best of what we have and what we can, relative to what was received and what we are able to give. If this should mean genuine thanks only, without guile or deceit, then the demands of The Law are fulfilled. Legal contracts are not included here, for that is a different matter.

Everybody, rich or poor, is therefore able to live this most necessary Law. Even the poorest can give out of themselves gratitude, a heartfelt prayer, or even a kind look to the giver. So long as the heart is pure and the intention genuine, the essential considerations from the standpoint of The Spiritual Laws will have been fulfilled.

Now, reader: In a specific problem area that has finally come to acute prominence and borne its fruit, we have all powerfully observed the outworking of The Law of Balance in the present time. Historically, major wars have been a driving force for people to escape to safer areas and perhaps settle there permanently if they could. Prior to the Age of Exploration such “refugee movements” were generally confined to the continent of Europe. Because the population numbers were not high and the cultures, religions and even languages were not diametrically dissimilar, the “resettling” impact could be absorbed much more easily than is the case today.

During the Industrial Revolution, however, the situation changed dramatically. The industrialised Nations -- of which many were the main Maritime ones also -- shipped into their burgeoning economies thousands upon thousands of workers from other places around the globe. Some went voluntarily, others were enslaved. Whilst it made some Nations and individuals very wealthy, the balance of the world’s peoples was, from then on, more drastically altered than at any time before. The huge dislocation caused by the Second World War compounded the problem considerably.

THE HUMANLY UNSOLVABLE REFUGEE CRISIS OF THE 21^st CENTURY

With a 21^st century global population now past the seven billion mark and increasing rapidly, more people are seeking a so-called “better life” in lands sometimes far removed from their own. The huge and fundamental imbalance in the ethnic mix of peoples in the different countries of the world that began in earnest just a few centuries ago has now become like a “Sword of Damocles” hanging over many countries of the wealthier West.

That unfortunate legacy has produced desperate acts of violence, political instability, social unrest, and urban terrorism on a scale previously unknown. Now, whilst that is obviously frightening in its current reality and even future portent, it is still nonetheless just the inexorable outworking of the Power of The Eternal Laws bringing redress and balance to what will be left of global societies and their very-much-reduced populations.

Now, in the refugee crisis of the present day, the whole process has resulted in demands for stronger measures to curb immigration. Sometimes “altruism” is exactly the wrong thing under the aegis of Creation-Law! In this case the ostensibly compassionate practice of Western Nations accepting huge numbers of refugees from parts of the world where unstable, corrupt, or oppressive regimes hold sway does not ultimately solve the problem for the people of the country concerned. WHY?

Whole peoples cannot simply pack up and move to another land to make it their “new country” and home! Unfortunately, however, external pressures often undermine well-intentioned efforts to bring about necessary change. Dubious foreign policy objectives of some Western Governments, big business dealings, U.N. mandated operations and badly monitored aid programs have all contributed to abuse, corruption, and incredible suffering for millions. It is precisely this kind of aspiritual, greedy and ignoble behaviour that has driven much of the refugee problem.

It is not our purpose to intellectually-analyse the global situation of ‘the why’ of refugees to any depth here. The world’s news and refugee agencies do an admirable job in highlighting these problems through supplying a surfeit of visual images.

What we unequivocally state, again, is that these kinds of problems, as with all others, have their origin in mankind --- or rather the political lawmakers --- ignoring the very Laws of Creation that drive and govern all outcomes from every decision made. Thus, we note the clear and unequivocal fact that the world, its peoples, its systems, its religions etc., are in serious and dangerous imbalance. For not one thing, not one decision stands alone in the world. All are ultimately connected, and nothing stands in isolation!

Because all decisions are all in some way connected, a major determination in one part of the world produces a ripple effect in every other -- even if not perceived immediately or at all. We have seen this lawful effect develop more and more strongly in the international and religious tensions that have brought violence and bloodshed over refugees and immigration --- and in particular with their different religions. For despite all the pleas, rhetoric, marches, protests, and even killings, disparate religions do not offer peace and harmony for all. That is a truly stupid belief.

Thus, rife across the globe is desperation and riots, people smuggling, religious and ethnic tensions and, of course, its natural accompaniment --- hatred. Whilst such situations are traumatic for the people involved, the mostly unfortunate outcomes deriving from these events simply reveals the end-effect under the unstoppable outworking of the inviolable aegis of The Law of Balance, in concert with The Law of Reciprocal Action and The Law of Attraction of Similar Species!

It’s not rocket science, people! The Living Power inherently contained within those immutable Primordial Laws of Creation cannot be opposed by silly, arrogant human beings who think they know better and who, in any case, “have not ever produced the better world for all”.

In addition, the unassailable Power of Creation-Law inexorably places increasingly stronger Spiritual pressure on all of humanity to recognise and understand why there is so much discord in a practice that “seemingly” seeks to help the downtrodden. That may seem to be a noble and correct ideal, but if not applied and effected spiritually-correctly, then disaster will be the end-result. That is the path we currently tread.

There may well be a place for some refugee assistance into other countries, but the reason must be a spiritually correct one in the first instance. Governments that accept the entry of a particular group to their country should fully understand the import of such a decision, for The Law of Balance will ultimately redress imbalance wherever it occurs, irrespective of the reasons for the original decision.

Historically, movement and settlement of peoples into other lands to seek a better life or freedom from oppression or persecution has been a natural part of the human journey. Without that “process”, many millions of the world’s peoples would not now be generationally-settled into countries far removed from ancestral homelands. But now it is very different, and very problematic.

Despite what we are saying here, we are not promoting any kind of solution, for it is too late for that. What is happening in the great human reshuffle is just part and parcel of what is already upon us in the reciprocal outworking of all our transgressions against Divine Law! We are simply “Reaping what we have Sowed”; with much more to come!

COLONISATION: AND THE NECESSITY FOR “BALANCE”

Whilst the general meaning of Colonisation of the New Worlds by the Maritime Nations of Old-World Europe in the 17^th, 18^th and 19^th centuries has been well written about, with any number of pluses and minuses for the colonisers and the “colonised”: What has not at all been understood academically was and is the “deeper meaning and purpose”; in what in any case was an inevitable process anyway.

Reader, you will have noted in a number of places thus far the essential journey of The Truth, delivered to the different peoples of earth by their respective Truth-Bringers at the commensurate time for each “group”. Colonisation was simply the next necessary step, for it brought the deeper essence of Truth that was contained in the Bible to peoples who would not otherwise have received it.

However, do not get the idea that all this is just religious or Christian proselytization. It most definitely is not! For following on from The Word of The Son of God in the Bible had next to come The Word of The Son of Man as the very last chance for global humanity to awaken, before all the Divine Admonitions and Prophecies would be finally fulfilled.

Well, people, that is what has now occurred ---- which you now know about. Unfortunately, the world and its global human societies is now too far “out of Balance” to be set right by us humans. We refused to listen through all of our existence, and we refuse to listen now!

On the question of races and peoples, I think we’ve “talked” more than enough about it. So, let’s hear what should really matter to every human being on this planet --- Divine Truth!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Perhaps it could be argued that the increasing and strident racist vitriol we now hear from so many quarters may not be so much racist but more a sub-conscious knowing that so much ethnic resettlement over such a relatively short period has not permitted sufficient time for normal and natural assimilation into new societies as perhaps occurred in times past.

Even if that is the case, however, the solutions and/or answers that each “side” continues to push -- those for, and those against --- are no longer viable. The current immigration problem now virtually feeds on itself as a kind of self-perpetuating, often religiously-influenced, carousel. Therefore, in accordance with the mandated purpose of this Work, we unequivocally state that the posturing and bluster of politicians and concerned individuals and groups worldwide for increasing refugee quotas into so-called “better” countries will fail without the correct “Spiritual” insight.

Equally for those individuals and groups who stand in opposition; they, too, must take into account the essential knowledge of Divine Creation-Law if they are to correctly understand the true nature of what is currently fermenting to its final conclusion.

Because The Law of Balance has been transgressed very seriously for a long time now, Balance will be restored equally seriously, but in a much shorter time period.

TO GIVE, OR TO TAKE? THE CORRECT BALANCE

The question of whether one should give, or take, is readily answered in the understanding that in The Law of Balance between giving and taking, giving always ranks first. Unfortunately, through the well-intentioned but misplaced “generosity” of some social groups and churches, “taking” as a “social right” has become a way of life for some people and families who have no idea they should also give something in return.

Whether intentional or not, this transgression of The Law of Balance has a detrimental effect on the one who is a constant receiver, not least to the individual’s self-esteem and self-respect. Moreover, children raised in this environment may become unwitting transgressors of this Law later in their life, also to their detriment.

Thus, through a lack of understanding of an Eternal Law, well-meaning people can actually perpetuate and enlarge a social problem. Notwithstanding their good intent, in certain cases it does not always translate to giving the correct and necessary kind of “Spiritual” and material help actually needed.

A thorough knowledge of The Spiritual Laws is the only way that humanity can address its increasing social problems. In determining the best way that we might offer help, we should always be cognisant of the ancient Asian saying:

At the beginning of this PART II, we stated that each Law examined would intermesh with all the other Eternal Laws to produce a perfectly balanced whole, and that the reader should be able to perceive the connections between them all. In this case, and as a simple example, one can easily deduce that giving in the correct way is better because it is connected to “The Creation-Law of Sowing and Reaping”. The act of giving is identical with the practice of sowing. For each seed will, at its appropriate time, provide multiples of the same kinds of seeds for the giver.

Conversely, that which one extends the hand for --- the seed taken or received -- is like a harvest. Once consumed, it ceases to exist. With each receiving, a cycle is closed. Whenever we give, however, we start a new cycle. Through this process, therefore, it is always better to give than to receive. Of course, any giving should not be coloured solely by the selfish desire for a large return, thus losing sight of the correct Spiritual reason to want to give in the first place. When viewed in this light, such words take on a far deeper and richer meaning than might previously have been understood.

The current social propensity to “demand one’s rights”, whether individual, children’s, youth, ethnic, cultural, social, legal, religious, or any other; in the first instance lives the aspect of “taking”! In the sense of The Spiritual Law of Balance, it is a negative and selfish attitude, for “rights” are only obtained by the fulfilment of “responsibilities” or “duties”.

To that end in the context of rapidly-collapsing values once deemed to be at least partially-ennobled, consider the effect on society if, instead of demanding more and more “rights”, we had encompassed a more tolerant and giving attitude which saw us all become concerned with responsibilities, duties and obligations toward each other.

Had such occurred between parents and children, teachers and students, employer and employee, between religions and ethnic groups, even between individuals within those ethnic groups, from the criminal to his victim, societies would be very different beasts today.

The fulfilment of duty and responsibility must always come before any claim to rights. In one single stroke of “attitude”, our present kind of oftentimes selfish society could have become one that actually lived the completely beneficial aspects of the Creation-Law of “Sowing and Reaping” under the aegis of The Law of Balance.

Virtually overnight, all manner of social problems and crime could have simply disappeared, with needless confrontation becoming just a distant memory. Now, the misguided “Human Rights first” ethos will continue to ensure that the current “my rights mantra” will simply further entrench a particular and insidious selfishness in society with all its inevitable reciprocity.

Thus, one should give out of a genuine desire to help, in the manner most spiritually beneficial to the recipient. The Eternal Laws therefore urge everyone to give, and no one should practice or indulge in one-sided “taking”.

As previously stated, however, it would be wrong to expect any kind of particular return from the person to whom one has given, as the act of giving is then denigrated to an unspoken, selfish, strings-attached, silent demand -- for something in return. In the strict lawfulness of this process, what should be recognised is that what might be received in return for what one has given does not necessarily depend upon the recipient. This may initially be a difficult concept to adjust to.

Yet whether or not it is believed the recipient deserves it, whether or not he is grateful or ungrateful, and even whether or not he is actually aware that he has been helped, all such considerations are ultimately irrelevant. In any case ingratitude for any kindness shown will bring its own “reward” to the “ungrateful one”.

It is a very human trait to seek recognition for any kind of help offered, yet the outworking of The Law of Reciprocal Action applies here equally as much as our attitude toward the suffering. What comes to us as our exact due; our reward as it were -- arrives in the manner and at the time so ordained under The Law!

In what is arguably one of the most difficult aspects of the everyday life of we humans of planet earth i.e., that of personal relationships; the correct application of The Law of Balance between “giving and taking” is the key to harmony in all situations. Whether in marriage between partners, in a family situation between parents and children, between employer and employee, or between groups or Nations; in each particular case the concept of giving and taking needs to be correctly understood.

Parents desiring to have children must be aware of the need to balance this with the duty to care for their offspring in the right way. This parental care must be balanced by the obligation of the offspring to then respect their parents, but, of course, only where parents or care-givers have earned the right to be respected. For why should parents be automatically honoured by offspring if they are not deserving of honour?

The practice of pushy parents bent on living their dreams through their offspring by forcing them to comply with their parental “dreams” and demands is all too common in many societies. At all costs, the children “must succeed”! Tragically, this kind of parental bullying has in too many cases led to suicide. Even just one suicide in the name of foolish parental or family “honour” is surely one unnecessary suicide too many!

The ostensibly sacrosanct Commandment, “Honour Thy Father and Mother”, is not at all understood as to its correct meaning. Societal statistics clearly reveal the fact that many parents are not worthy to be honoured in any way at all by their children. Violence, drunkenness, adultery, drug-taking and abuse etc., can never be accepted as the kinds of examples and behaviour for children to be exposed to, and certainly not to aspire to.

Individual souls are brought together in family groups under the precise and lawful outworking of The Spiritual Laws. It therefore behoves parents to live -- and thus teach by example --- the correct Spiritual principles of life. But first get to know them! We should thus understand that this Commandment was given first and foremost for parents.

It was, in the very first instance, for parents to honour the concept and duty of Fatherhood and Motherhood so that they would become such parents as could be honoured by their children; for it was surely not the children born to their union who made the decision for their parents.

In the light of Perfect Love and Perfect Justice, it is absolutely inconceivable that the Perfection of The Creator would Command children to honour parents who had no right to be honoured.

Yet, for one or two Churches, the “letter of the law” here is so strictly enforced that some family groups within them live not in love and harmony, but in fear. We may therefore wonder how many children, raised by strictly religious parents who, themselves, did not obey the Commandments or live correctly, yet nevertheless still hypocritically demanded that they be honoured thereby causing great suffering under this kind of arrogant and hypocritical, religious injustice.

Once the child has reached an age where it is physically able to assist in the home, it should be required to do so in order to balance the parental care it receives. Its form of assistance would be commensurate with its age and abilities. A child brought up without the application of this Law in its life may not develop any kind of purposeful work ethic, nor garner the correct social skills and attitude necessary to interact in a naturally balanced way with others. Do we not see this trend in this day and age of the “mobile” and the “selfie”? The very word says it all --- the “self”!

An attitude of personal selfishness can thus develop that may become ingrained for life. The spiritually-correct concept of “tough love” for wayward children today might not have been needed for many had The Law of Balance been applied from the outset.

As the young of every new generation must naturally become the macrocosmic world of human societies each in their turn, what, then, is the correct way to bring up children? And is it, or should it be, commensurate and thus perhaps different with the many cultures and religions of the world?

Now, whilst that correct way clearly resonates with The Creation-Law of Balance, the weak human aspect in the distortion of this sacrosanct Primordial Law inevitably translates to the U.N. mandated and driven protocol of “My Rights” accorded to all and sundry. Every segment of the human world must have their “rights” first.

It is never ever “My Responsibilities” first: No; it’s always “My Rights” first.

A very relevant Discourse in PART III ----- THE GLOBAL CURSE OF “MY RIGHTS” (HUMAN “RIGHTS”): UN MANDATED --- BUT WHERE RESTS “RESPONSIBILITY”? -----
----- will closely examine this critical issue of “My Rights”, as widely promoted by the United Nations. Along with other appointees to various global “posts”, that organisation also appoints a “Children’s Ambassador” ---- always a well-known personality, such as a movie star.

In concert with The Primordial Law of Balance, a specific Section of that Discourse will look at the issue of “Children’s Rights” and how that seemingly altruistic notion --- as applied by us human beings --- actually seriously offends against The Eternal Laws.

Since our task is to “Proclaim” the knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation to the “whole world” and most especially “Proclaim” HIM --- HE Who out of Divine Grace brought The Law to us, --- we can surely do no better that to heed and hopefully learn from those Living Laws of GOD!

So, let’s now hear how it must be under the aegis of The Creation-Law of Balance if there is to be anything of that necessary “simplicity and humility” that might survive the great cleansing and long-prophesied cull of global humanity. Interestingly, Imanuel, The Spirit of Truth, has placed significant pointers to the knowledge of Spiritual Balance in our earthly lives in His Lecture: THE CHILD.

The decision to use that Lecture here makes eminent sense, for in terms of all human decisions and endeavour and thus ultimate outcomes deriving from them, everything must naturally first begin with the child. The “child” thus becomes the adult and, historically, we all know what we as adults have finally produced for ourselves.

In blunt Truth, societal equilibrium should presuppose that the essence of such a notion, in the first place would naturally produce harmony; also naturally followed by good will toward our fellow men. After thousands of years of “religious conditioning” of one sort or another, it’s not really the “state of the nations” is it?

So here from Imanuel’s Grail Message: The Great and Necessary Creation-Law of Equilibrium!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As we have learned from The Son of Man, the increasing spiritual pressure now pouring onto the earth and its inhabitants, forcibly, and therefore severely, corrects all past imbalance/s. Deviation from The Law of Balance can no longer be sustained for as long as has been possible thus far. The present structural problems that can be observed in the national and global economies, in particular through failing banks and financial institutions, are a direct result of mankind’s total disregard for, and lack of understanding of this immutable and thus inviolable Eternal Law!

Along with all the Eternal Laws, this great Creation-Law will hopefully one day be fulfilled by a “then-knowing-humanity” that will finally stand SIDE BY SIDE, helping and furthering one another in mutual respect. The vital recognition that every people, every race, possesses earthly and spiritual values which are indispensable for humanity as a whole will one day arrive --- but not anymore today!

Only after the “great human cull” can a vital exchange of complementary values become the norm. Such exchanges that occur then will underpin the right balance between Giving and Taking; in precise accordance with the immutable outworking of this Eternal Creation-Law.

In Summary: Whilst the inherent characteristics of The Law of Balance can obviously be applied to most situations, the most critical should be to urgently seek the correct balance between the material and spiritual in our individual lives. In the intellectual sense, man presently stands astride the apex of his technological pyramid.
