Regulation, Rules & Laws (B) part 2

   Hi there. In this article I will continue to talk about regulation, rules and laws. On the previous article (A) I talk about the 1st part of this topic. It reflects on the aspect of business, society and personal lifestyle. On this article I will reflect on the aspect of our spiritual nature. Some of you already know the concept of microcosmic and macrocosms. This mean that it is a reflection from something opposite. Not necessarily different, but a reflection of an opposite. But for instant when people say "that we are the image of the creator". This doesn't mean that the creator look exactly like us, in human form that is.

Now in this article I will talk about regulation, rules and laws (B) part 2, in a spiritual nature opposite from (A) part 1. My point that I'm trying to come across is that everything that we do, even though they may not look like in spiritual nature. But in reality everything is connected. As an example in a Judaic lifestyle, a Jewish person will conduct his business or company in a way that he would not cause him to commit a sins. Just like he will conduct his home lifestyle in a Judaic manner, so he would not cause him to commit a sins. In so as will a Christian do the same. Although I know that some people may belong to a religious Institute and still will conduct themselves in a sinful manner. And I know some people would jump in immediately to show these example. But my article is intended for the majority.


Regulation:

   In a religious attribute we try to regulate how we should conduct with our self and others.These regulation keep us in balance. As much as people out there always disputes how religion cannot function in a modern society. But that is the religion is an essential instrument to help humanity regulate how they should conduct. It teachers how to control our emotion, but not eliminate it completely. To give you an example, a gentleman would meet a lady that he seems to like. He will 1st go through the ritual of introducing himself, establishing something in common with the lady, then hopefully to go out on a dinner date, and then after many many dates and be convince that he has a great deal of comment with her. He will then propose a long-term relation, like in marriage. And then hopefully have family and so on. While other person would not have a religious foundation would approach a lady will begin it ritual that is not appropriate with a lady, and force her into a relationship, which then he would take advantage of her and then become abusive.

Both men have the desire to be with a woman, but one will conduct in a responsible and respectable gentleman, while the other will conduct in a aggressive and animal behavior. So in a way religion have an important role in helping humanity conduct in a civilized manner. It teachers how to regulate and control our desire and emotion, and keep us from being destructive. We are always regulating what we feel and think.

As much as we would like to believe that humanity are capable of figured out how we ought to behave and lives civilized. We are all quite aware that they are lots of people out there that are not capable or unwilling to figure it out without guidance. We can also use philosopher as an instrument to guide us, but even philosopher have their philosophy based on some religious attribute.


Rules:

   In order to be consistent we are guided by rules and tradition to guide us in our daily path. These rules help us to determine the different between right and wrong. With so many things going on in our daily life sometime were not aware that we may be committing a sin. So these rules are in place to remind us and to set us on the right path. Sometime there are also rules that teachers how the universe is set up and how it function. Some religion may have a particular general set of rules that they must all learn and follow. Some may call them the 10 commandments and other make call the 7 capital sins or even the 7 principles. And from there they may have sub rules. And they may be from what to cook or what to wear of what to say or think and maybe other aspect in our daily life.

Again I am quite aware that they are people who do not believe that we need these religious rule in order to conduct properly in society. But sometime no matter how hard we try to restrain ourselves some people were tried to for themselves and tried to convince that it is okay to break some rules once in a while. But knowing people very well once they begin to be a little bit more flexible, then there would like to become even more flexible. And before you know it their life become destructive.

I'm not going to get into any example of any particular rules for it may various and definition from different religious point of view. But one thing is for certain, even the best of us once in a while is good to know and to be reminded of these rules.


Laws:

   Now in a spiritual nature laws may be almost be like rules but with one difference. In a spiritual world laws that are broken may be follow by some sort of punishment or retribution. They are just some things that we cannot go beyond a certain point in our human behavior. That is why there are laws that we cannot go against in the physical world, and even in the spiritual world. I am talking about summing or manipulating the dark side of the spiritual world. But humanity was intended to come to this world to discipline our self through the regulation and rules. We were not intended to create or manipulate how the outcome of our future. We are intended to follow a life of charity and righteousness. Based on that the outcome of our future will be directed according to our good deed and action. Any other manipulation will be consider as going against the law that exists in our world universe or reality.

Although I do not believe in imposing fear in order for someone to live a life of good in pure. Sometime does who are unwilling to cooperate with what is already set in the universe those must be shown a little bit of fear.

There are also situation in which we can learn about these laws not to manipulate them. But to understand and figured out the function of what it is expected of us in the universe. Although some knowledge may look like is hidden away from humanity, but for those who seek wisdom will find wisdom.

We all like to live in a life would no restriction or restrain. But in order to truly go as a spiritual person. We must and knowledge and recognize that because we are human we sometime manifest the animal aspect of our self. But thank goodness through religious teacher in great philosopher, we or able to learn and understand that we can surpass that human aspect manifest our true spiritual nature.
