WORD COUNT: 399 Brief, Yet Liberating Words

TIME to Break Free: * About 2 Minutes! *

As we study the spiritual side of life, we learn about spiritual law. And so it’s only natural that we’d also begin to question manmade laws at this time. In other words, we question the roles and duties we have accepted as truth, in lieu of universal and personal truths.

As children, we’re immersed in cultural or “manmade laws” which tell us how we should think, act and feel. And these expectations are assigned based on gender, age, family heritage,  parental beliefs, or religious affiliations, for example.

Dogma, “shoulds”, and stereotypes fall into the category of manmade law. And for a time within the context of the human journey, we accept this way of being as truth. But at some point, we begin to question these laws, because they don’t fit who we truly are. So then we wonder if this isn’t true, what is? And if I’m not that, then who am I?

In this way, we’re able to discern between Universal Law and manmade law. And the two are as different as night and day. Some Native American cultures call Universal Law… Sacred Law, because it transcends physical matter, and applies regardless of your form, religious or cultural affiliations. Sacred Law is Truth, with a capital T, it never wavers. Manmade law is merely an opinion or preference set forth by man, in the hopes of achieving a particular outcome. So manmade laws vary widely, and are often fear based, and stem from a desire to control.

Why does this matter? Because when we truly understand the difference, we are free. I’m sure you’ve heard “and the Truth shall set you free”. Does it resonate with you? There’s a reason why it does. You recognized the power and the implications within these seven tiny words.

For when we understand Truth, or Sacred Law, we’re able to stand in our own light. We can weed out what is not truly ours.  And so we embrace our personal truth, our soul voice, without the cultural interference, “have tos” and “shoulds”. This rebirth leads to a deeper understanding of life and our mission in it, at a soul level.

How do you think manmade “laws” have influenced the way you see yourself? This question is significant, for your self image determines what you think about yourself, and therefore what you can be and do.

So, we’ll be exploring more in the areas of Universal Law and Soul Truth in the days ahead. For it is in exploration that we discover freedom of the highest kind.

May your day be filled with many blessings!
