Every human being is a product of the Law. He lives compulsorily in the Law and is subject to the definite, ceaseless, accurate and incorruptible outworking of the Law.
Likewise, everything on earth is subject to the Law; linked with the Law.
Connecting every man with the Law and thus the Holy Will are some little helpers who prepare the path of the human spiritual everywhere as a human spirit, soul or an earth-man. They are the master weavers of every man’s fate.
Even if a man decides to make himself an outcast or an out-Law by behaving anyhow without scruples, care or any thought of consequences for his deeds or by standing aloof; by not reckoning with the flawless and overall helpful demands of the Law; by disobeying, disregarding or dishonouring the Laws of Nature, of the Creator, still the Law regulates his life, his entire existence.
Still he is firmly connected with the Law. For the threads of whatever he intuits, thinks, speaks or does are taken up by these little servants of the Lord who are subject to and serve only His Holy Will.
Automatically they weave, spin or mold these threads accurately into appropriate forms in accordance with the volition of the author for safekeeping in a mansion of Creation, in fine Gross Matter for the producer, as deposit in a bank which, with the accrued interest, he must draw at a certain time.
The little loyal beings nourish and care for the seeds sown by man in his intuition, thoughts, words and deeds as they grow, blossom and fructify until they mature or ripen for harvest by the author.
As in seeds planted and reaped in multiples of the seeds sown, at maturity and harvest by a farmer in the more tangible physical matter, so the once planted seeds at ripening and harvest await him and will be served him as delicacies which he must ‘enjoy’ at the appropriate time whether he likes it or does not.
So whether man acknowledges the existence of a higher Power Who is in charge of everything he can see which cannot be credited to the wisdom or ingenuity of man or he does not, he is compulsorily subject to the Law as everything else is.
Whether man acknowledges it or does not, there is certainly a higher Power Which is behind the regularity and orderliness in Creation that are clearly observable by any man who wants to see.
For instance, the day or sun breaks and sets or falls at regular intervals; sunlight breaks at daybreak or dawn to beam its enlivening, energising and vitalising rays across the earth to warm up and call to action, activate the bodies and set man off to put to work his innate abilities and talents on the abundance of Nature; which is lavishly provided by a higher Power to build up and develop the earth to a realm flourishing in happiness and peace for all her inhabitants indiscriminately; working for a certain number of hours in daylight.
Sun sets at dusk to give way to the night enveloped by darkness which also falls at regular intervals, and prevails also for a certain number of hours to soothe, heal, calm, rest, recuperate, restore, refresh, restrengthen and prepare all creatures for the following daybreak.
Heat and cold are regulated by certain invisible forces. Water and air stream through the arteries and every space of the earth however tiny in a regulated manner. It rains in a regulated way. When seed is sown, it grows, blossoms and fructifies, ripens or matures compulsorily for harvest by the sower.
What is light floats and that which is heavy sinks. Likes attract like and repel dislikes. Everything moves. Man ages. One feels light when one does good and heavy when otherwise.
The four seasons set in, flow into one another regularly at their appropriate timing with the peculiar blessings each pours over Creation for the benefit and enjoyment of all creatures including mankind – spring, winter, summer, autumn.
Spring signals forth an awakening in Nature to a new life, a new cycle, a renewal, rebirth, regeneration, refreshening, preparation for a new beginning of a new cycle; when the harshness, dryness, the expiring, seemingly lifelessness of the preceding season gives way to a more robust, soothing, lively and friendly season; when Nature swallows the withering, the brownish deadening colour of the preceding season and turns green; when a part of Nature including the fields, plants, leaves and flowers is generously painted in fresh green, the colour of life; when flowers dazzle anew in arrays of brilliant, radiant colours.
Above all, at a regularly recurring time every year, there is an Outpouring into Creation of new Divine Power by the Holy Spirit for the renewal and new cycling, without which everything created withers and dies off, and only the Almighty Father and His closest Mantle remain as has been from all eternity.
Compulsorily, man including the doubter, is subject to all these happenings, the control of which is outside of him and above him as it is outside of and above any other man or creature.
With these, we fall down on our knees and thankfully render a most heartfelt gratitude to the invisible Almighty Power Which is behind, and controls all these beyond-the-power-of-man orderliness and regularity in Creation.
