The Law Of The Land |
Monday – May 25, 2026

Laws are funny things indeed, at least when you spend some time thinking about them, because the way men treat laws should tell you quite a lot about them, especially under the special circumstances of the present period, read "Is God Above the Law?", "Should You Follow the Laws?", and "Should You Break Rules?". You see, laws tend to come to your senses in multiple ways: there are of course natural laws, such as the laws of gravity, or different sorts of mathematical axioms that seems to not quite fit into the category of "natural laws", because they exist in a weird place in between human assertions about the world that seem to hold true whether or not humanity says so or not, really these laws should be expected to hold true in the absence of an observer, not that this would be possible to prove, but then again the sensible order is one of positivism and not negativism, so no further inquiry is required; and then there are, as I mentioned above, other kinds of laws, laws of a much more political nature, laws that make certain claims for themselves, such as the humanist assertion of absolute political egalitarianism, that cannot be dispelled because the system that they exist within is perfectly symmetrical and closed, read "The Case For Education", really grounded in humanity, or at least this is the claim, the humanist axiom, and anything else has been and is now deemed abnormal and in violation of this seemingly natural law of progression towards some kind of great release, perhaps(?) some kind of rupture, read "Transhumanism" and "Disintegration". In other words, the lie that the world is progressing away from "the bad" towards "the good", "the promised land", of the ideological future where all the problems of mankind have been solved, really at the limit of the manifested world, read "The End of History" and "Mechanism".

    Well, this limit has to be imagined somehow, right? Yes, and this is why laws, here I am referring to laws of the political kind, tend to be so silly, yes silly, and creative, but what is more astonishing is the fact that most men willingly follow these laws and dictates, and of course the claim is that these laws are derived from "ordinary men", as if there was anything "ordinary about modern men", and so the great/big lie sticks, and the system becomes enclosed; note that the system becomes enclosed only in the psychic sense, and the fact that modern men are so good at eluding reality is actually quite impressive, but nonetheless it must be understood that these matters belong to our time, the current cyclical manifestation, and that none of this would have been possible in the past, and to that extend the humanists are quite right that the world is "progressing". Also, I do need to qualify my statement that most people (most men) follow these political laws, these dictates of the temporal power: yes, it is true that most men in previous and less deviated times followed laws and/or dictates, but it was also true that those laws where anchored in the primordial tradition and that such laws could only be issued with the expressed approval of the spiritual authority in the land; and further that laws and dictates were issued not in an official capacity concerning the individualism of one man governing some pseudo-domain, read "Politicians", but rather through a sacred ritual, read "Qualification", that functioned as a kind of initiation of the heavenly mandate into the land and into the lives of men of the land, but note that this required the temporal powers to hold absolute loyalty to the priesthood; further still, this all means that laws were already familiar to most men and the need to coerce men into this action or the other simply did not exist, partly because coercion and violence are strictly associated or contingent features of temporal power, read "The State", but also because, again, most men had a somewhat qualified relation to the sacred in their ordinary life, truly ordinary life; also, these laws, or what moderns call "laws", did not extend to cover a certain and defined perimeter, read "The Problem of Borders", because instead they extended downward in a hierarchical and corporative manner, read also "Feudalism: Good or Bad?", which meant that the dictates of one realm defined not only that one realm but the different strata concerned within that realm and whether or not this realm existed at one point in the land or another point far away in the land was of little importance, which is a rather confusing thing for most modern men because most modern men are quite incapable of conceiving of the world without clear compartmentalization and quantification; but essentially what this corporative and hierarchical structure meant was that laws and dictates followed all men beyond their homeland into the realms of other men; because you entered into another realm, this did not mean that other laws applied to you. What I am attempting to express here with my last point is that laws in previous and more remote times did not only apply in a certain given area: laws in ancient times belonged to men like convictions belong to men today, and this is a very important point. Also, when convictions and laws follow the same course in the life of ordinary men, here again the word "ordinary" must be understood in its complete sense, men are actually grounded, and the vestiges of this groundedness is what modern convective of as religion and belief, as opposed to the true knowledge of the ancients, read "Should You Hold Faith?". Also, it is very significant and telling that laws are so incapable of actually functioning outside of this psychic system that is modern civilization and that they end at the defined perimeter of the "nation-state" which they belong to.

    The idea that the land has a law is perhaps the problem here: it is true that men have laws and that indeed those men tend to be inclined to follow those laws (the laws that belong to them, properly so speaking), but it is quite impossible for the land to have any laws on its own, and in the event, such as in our own, where the land truly have laws, it is an aberration and a sign of something quite wicked that the land has laws, and one example of this is the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:20-21, Genesis 19:24-25, Genesis 19:26; Deuteronomy 29:23, Isaiah 1:9-10, Ezekiel 16:49-50; Matthew 10:15, 2 Peter 2:6, and Jude 1:7) where sin became the law of the land and where divinely inspired vengeance in the end laid this Kingdom of Satan on Earth in ruins. So yes, men can attempt to establish their own Kingdoms, and indeed we have seen throughout the course of history how these kingdoms have come and gone, but in the end their laws, the law of the land, did not stand above the one and only law of the creator – true love and justice. There will come a time when the law of the land will be made to yield, and when these "ordinary men" will be made to heel before the one and only law – that of the cosmos.
