My Thoughts on Natural Law

in #blog5 years ago

You are free to do what you please. You OWN your body and you own the consequences of the actions you take. Natural Law doesn’t care what you believe. Whether you believe the action you are taking is right (and that you have the right to take it) is not important.

The world is full of Atheists and Solipsists and imbalanced people with imbalanced brains and you can’t even debate or reason with most of them because they don’t even think such a thing as Truth exists or that it even could exist.

They believe morality is subjective and that they get to decide what is right and wrong. There are lots of atheists who make it their mission to attack organised religions like the fake ass Christians who believe God is watching and allowing us to suffer and that we just need to wait for Jesus to come back and save us and everything will be ok. If all they did was point out how ridiculous it is to believe in organised religions, I would be with them but most of them believe in the most dangerous religion of them all. Government.

When people believe there is no objective morality and that everything was a cosmic accident and that rights don’t exist then it’s hardly surprising that they’ll beg for and accept masters to rule over them. The consequences of incorrectly believing in things like ‘government’ and/or ‘authority’ and the fact that most people on Earth share the same beliefs mean that unless those who have already acknowledged and understand Natural Law, get others to start thinking and discovering it for themselves and then taking action themselves, the conditions experienced on earth will get worse.

Rights do not come from man or governments or rulers. Natural Law is law. A right is something you do that does not cause harm to another being. If your actions cause harm they are not right they are wrong. The more right actions that are taken by people on Earth as a whole, the better the experience of the people on earth will be (as a whole). The more wrong actions that are taken by the people on earth as a whole, the worse the experience will be for everyone.

Whether people believe they are carrying out right actions doesn’t change the objective truth of whether they did have the right to carry out those actions and therefore whether they were actually right or moral actions. If people can be made to believe that wrong actions are right they will act believing they are doing good or even righteous acts (eating meat or dropping bombs on what they’ve been told are ‘terrorists’ for example) when the opposite can only ever be true .

"You OWN your body..."

I do not agree. I am not property. Property can be owned. It can be acquired, transferred, taxed, and sold at the option of the owner.

I am sovereign and have free agency. Sovereignty cannot be purchased or sold, but is an inherent aspect of a human being. Therefore human beings cannot be property, cannot be slaves, and I am free. My body is also an inherent aspect of me, and it can neither be property.

Slavery is the ownership of human beings, and it is not lawful. I am not my slave. I am my king and I rule me absolutely.

I do not own me. No one else can own me, or any aspect of me either. I am sovereign, because that is an aspect of me, just like my body, mine by virtue of my natural existence, and neither aspect of me can be sold, transferred, acquired, or owned as can property.

I am free and sovereign, and so are all humanity.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I can always count on you x

I agree with most of what you say but on the matter of the body I define the term 'own' as meaning 'To have power or mastery over'.

Nobody controls my body and in fact I would would say that my body is the only thing I really do own and have control over. The body is the vehicle from which we experience the world. We have thoughts, feelings and take actions based on these experiences. For the time we inhabit them, they are our gateway to spiritual growth (or not).

You wrote, "I do not own me. No one else can own me, or aspect of me either". I do not consider you to be your body alone but you do have control and agency over your body.

If 'you' exist and your body is the only way 'you' have to make an impact in the world, to say you don't own it when it has been given to you and you have been given free will to do what you please with it, doesn't make sense to me.

I am probably misunderstanding you but I do like these sorts of discussions.

Thanks !

I do have sole agency, and that cannot be sold, transferred, etc... Since property universally can be sold and transferred, that agency over myself is not proprietary, i.e. I am not property.

It is sovereignty, not property, that is pertinent to that aspect of me.

The similarity of the two words regarding agency is potentially confusing, but like air and water which both flow, sovereignty and ownership are intrinsically different. The big difference is that property can be sold, and sovereignty cannot.

I am not property because I am sovereign, and this means that slavery cannot be lawful under any just legal system or theory. Slavery is currently legal in the USA because of the missdefinition of people as their own property under the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, and so this is not merely pedantry, but a very meaningful difference.
