LAWS (see
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.
