LAWS (see DD  0l KARMA as well)

 

 

        DIVINE LAWS (EP 151)

The basic structure of the Divine Plan, govern all worlds and universes, and corresponding to our higher nature. Epi­tomizing Reason and Love manifested, it is our recognition of, and alignment with, these Laws (e.g. Cause and Effect, of Harmony, of Order, of Growth and of Love) which leads to enhanced spiritual development.

 

EP  9          (Can we proceed in time with the expansion of consciousness?) Definitely! For the larva can only remain so long in the cocoon (the present-day personality) before those quarters grow too confining. Soon it will want to stretch out its wings and take flight (the Permanent Personality). This is a natural Law, the inexorable Law of the Circle of Possibility. Growth is inevitable no matter how much it seems people enjoy their cocoon; as "it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh" (Joel 2:28).

                                                                                                                                                                               EP  31            Uriel keeps the universal Law of Order and Harmony, both within                 and between each body.

 

        EP 155           Our bodies are constructed according to the Causal Law of the heavenly human form.

 

        ET 21 Even in Will-pleasure and expression, there is Self-sufficiency, because if it were missing, nothing whatever would be able to evolve in due order and according to immutable Laws. By studying these cycles of expression, of living existences, we see full Self-sufficiency as the Law and First Cause.

 

ET 28 The universes themselves, together with substance, supersubstance, matter and supermatter of which the univer­ses are constructed, are an expression of the Reality of the One Creator. of course, the worlds of space-place-time and whatever exists in the noetical, psychic and gross material universes, are set in motion within most wisely defined cycles and governed by immutable Laws, in order to demonstrate the phenomenon of life, as the Divine Will expresses it.

 

ET  48            After that, the new temporary personality descends into the etheric double of the gross material world and the Lords of Destiny, having in Mind the individual's karmic state, the Laws of Love, Compassion and Mercy, give the permanent personality the environment in which to incarnate its new temporary personality.

 

ET 48 The great Lords of Mercy and Destiny have given our personality material corresponding to the quality of the permanent atom. They also give the opportunity, in the new incarnation, to use more and purer substance in order to further develop. Having been given this  opportunity, it is through our own effort, our own understanding and our own free will that our personality must pursue purification. This is the inestimable Law of Divine Mercy.

                                                                                                                                                                      

ET  81     Within Creation, however, there is a precise and just Law,

                          which always gives what needs to be given. When we exceed

                          the limits of what is permitted in the infraction of this

                          Law of Divine Harmony, we will incur correspondingly disturbing­

                          results in our gross material bodies, appearing as

                          illness, just as we will in our psychic and noetical bodies,

                          in the form of psychic pain. We must, therefore, study the

                          Divine Laws which govern the different worlds --material,

                          psychic and noetical--, so that we may know the universal

                          truths, which will guide us towards Truth.

       ET      88     In the gross material world, each life form has two cycles

                          - that of possibilities and that of probabilities. The

                          probability cycle can be cut at any moment. The cycle of

                          possibility, however, is immutable. It is the Law of God.

                          Once some plant has put forth a shoot on our planet, it will

                          continue to develop on the basis of its cycle of

                          possibilities. It cannot change its cycle of possibilities

                          and turn into some other plant.

 

ET 133           The material body ... obeys the Laws of three dimensions and can only occupy one position in space.

 

PA 105          Every human being coming into the world carries a cross from previous incarnations. The Hindus call it Karma, we call it the Law of Destiny, the Law of Cause and Effect.
