Rules and laws have limitations and boundaries that we place on self and others in order to govern conduct. Civic, social and religious laws govern the collective. Rules are what we can and cannot do. Laws include what will happen if we do not follow the rules. Rules over a period of time create boundaries, a box around our freedom of expression.
Laws increasingly become limitations and restrictions within the box itself.
The worst disaster that can befall a man or woman is to lose or surrender his or her power of free will - whether it be through physical or mental enslavement or insanity. When we establish patterns that do not serve us, frequently as an attempt to fit in and conform, we may find ourselves behaving in ways that run counter to our sacred image and Sacred Law. Eventually we become imprisoned by them, thus being at effect rather than at cause in our daily lives. This in turn causes stress, anger, and pain in our lives, resulting in Karma. In spite of the pain and terror we are experiencing, we are even more afraid of letting die what must die in order to better our lives, the lives of those around us, and the life of Grandmother Earth.
