LAW

TODAY, BABIES ARE CONCEIVED, developed, given birth, live, and die according to law—natural law, the law that has been, is, and will be. At this juncture, what is law? Law is that which is fixed, stable, everlasting, eternal. If law violated itself just once, it would cease to be law. If law could violate itself once, it could do so a million times. And, the more it violated itself, the less law it would be. Law does not violate itself to please the caprices of men. Law is too big to change its pattern to please pigmy man.

Man is a conceited, boastful, gigantic ass. He thinks of himself as the almighty, the great I am; all else is beneath
him. The story is told of an Englishman who visited this country and attended a fancy dress ball. The lady he was dancing with had a large tortoise comb in her hair. It fell down her back between her dress and her body. She asked the Englishman to reach down and get it for her. As he did, she squirmed and it went down farther. She still insisted he get the comb. As he reached down farther, it tickled and she squirmed more, and is went down still farther. Finally the Englishman said, “I feel a perfect ahss!” The woman replied, “Never mind the compliments, get the comb!” He thinks of himself as the conscious mind and the other as the subconscious
or non-conscious mind. He has accumulated an education—that is conscious. In behind and beneath this is “something” which is little, insignificant, petty, pickayunish; which, by means of sympathy and reflex action, runs this universe to us in some ignorant manner beneath our notice and study. But what he knows—or thinks he knows—that is all important!

Everything that educated man could think, has been thought before his time. Educated man is a copytag, an imitation. Birds fly—man imitates in aeroplanes. Fish sink—man imitates in submarine. Volcanoes steam—man imitates in engines. Birds, animals, fish, radio man imitates. The eye televisions—man imitates. Every thought man thinks he thinks is a crude steal from Innate. Man could not think or act, were it not for Innate.
Innate Rives to education all that education thinks it is.

All things man now has were once in Universal Intelligence. Before the product, the producer. All Universal Intelligence is Innate Intelligence, the producer, in the unit man, the product. All men called great—be they philosophers, inventors, composers, writers, mechanics—had the same Innate you have.
