The Eye of Harmony

It is evident that laws are essential to contain the thermodynamic chaos that would result in every facet of creation without them.

Some of these laws are inherent and beyond control of the creation itself. For example, matter attracts matter through individually minute forces that when combined produce galactic scale results. Without delving into the depths of the physics, the Earth exists at the point that it does, revolving around the Sun, due to these inherent forces.

Some laws are instinctive. Most animals do not eat more than is essentially required for them to sustain their life so as to preserve the balance between resource and requirement. A notable exception to this, vultures, will often be required to regurgitate the entirety of their meals in order to be able to evade capture by a predator.

Vultures are scavengers that feed of the corpses of animals and rarely make the effort to capture a meal. The scent of the dead usually attracts others looking for a meal and given that vultures regularly gorge themselves to the point of being unable to sustain flight after eating they are often required to lose their meal to save themselves from becoming one.

Therefore, by satisfying wants over needs, vultures are a simple and observable example of the cost of ignoring law. If they ate to their level of need, they would be able to sustain life and avoid being captured by predators. Instead, they eat to an unsustainable level and lose the resource, the benefit and some much needed energy by fleeing the oncoming predator.

The next level of law is man made – which in itself is riddled with hypocrisy and injustice. Depending on the jurisdiction, stealing a loaf of bread can mean a verbal caution, a gaol term or, at the greatest extreme, death. To be fair, by and large man made law does, to a certain extent, control the inevitable spiral into entropy that would result from an unrestricted society. However, in doing so, it is required to define what is normality and chaos: impossible for humanity. Ancient Greek attitudes are often thought of as the foundations of modern social attitudes; however this is pure romance and fiction. If the reader disagrees, they are encouraged to compare the morals and laws of Ancient Greece to those of today.

Then there is Divine Law, which is law that is revealed to mankind through some direct or mediated communication with the Creator. Protestors to Divine Law will suggest that it is often brought about by man anyway in a religious wrapping paper. However, true Divine Law is the opposite. It is unwrapped by man using the greatest tools given by the Creator, namely a functioning human mind, a pure heart and a clear revelation.
True Divine Law is inherent and instinctual. It promotes sustainability of world and degrades entropy at its core.

In essence, that’s what these periodical expositions will aim to do. Attempt to unwrap some of the divine in hope that not all of humanity has to go the way of the vultures.
