The Law of Attraction and Man-Made Laws

Abraham-Hicks once said:

“It is your rules that make unlawful beings. You would get along better if you would just trust each other to treat each other appropriately, but you don’t. So you keep making laws — until you make criminals of everyone.”
Excerpted from the workshop in Chicago, IL on Sunday, April 25th, 1999

The more I learn about law of attraction, the more I look at what the news media focuses on in, a new light. (The subject of WHY the news media focuses on what it focuses on is a topic for another day.)

Apparently, a large percentage of people living in the State of California are spending part(s) of their day(s) pouring over dictionaries and airing their opinions judgments and beliefs about the definition of marriage, according to this latest “news” from The New York Times - Definition of Marriage Is at Heart of California Case

I was especially amused by the comment made by one of the attorneys.

“Realistically, you have to give society time to adjust,” said Christopher E. Krueger, a lawyer with the state attorney general’s office.

I would love to know the balance of what he said or what caused him to say this. My question lies in which segment of society he was suggesting needed time to adjust.

The government bodies that get paid to make such laws. OR the people that insist the government make laws that dictate what they do - one way or another.

I once heard Dr Laura Schlesinger coach a caller on her radio show. A young adult was complaining about the curfew her parents had placed on her. During Dr. Laura’s fact-finding about the situation, it came to light that the parents were paying the thousands in dollars to put this adult through college. It was Dr. Laura’s position that whomever has control of the dollars - has control of the person. “If you don’t want them having the control over what time you must go to bed, pay your own way in life.” (paraphrased from my memory)

The folks that are trying to fight city hall about the subject of marriage are allowing the government to determine what is permissible or not and if it weren’t for the subject of money - health care coverages, divorce settlements (if things don’t stay hunky-dory), etc. - who would even be checking in with the government for permission to marry, anyway?

When you give someone else (or some Thing else, in this case - the government) the power for deciding what you are allowed or not allowed to do in one area of the decision-making process, don’t be surprised if they see you as an entity that needs to be told what to do, in other situations.

Follow your heart and don’t get bogged down in what other people think about what you do. Just don’t expect them to bail you out when you need health care or or in case of divorce settlements down the road. Pay your own way.

Whomever has the power in one area - has the power. Society is like a big ship - it’s slow to turn it around, when it is at full throttle in a certain direction. Life it too short to spend time getting permission from others.
