1. Natural
Law
What is natural law? It is: “Everyone has free will. So do not do anything that you don’t want to be done to you or to your free will.”
It is the law that is. It is the truth. It is in our heart and consciousness. It is not specific to people or culture. It is the same for all human beings. Although it is in the consciousness of each individual, it has been suppressed and hidden by the programming of human consciousness by people in power. Thus it has to be re-discovered and ignited in each individual.
In strict sense, natural law is actually a principle – a fundamental truth. It is divine. It transcends all the artificial laws and takes precedence over them. While laws made by humans are fallible, natural law is infallible. It is timeless and immutable. It is not strictly synonymous with “conscience” however. This is because conscience has reduced to Moral Relativism and hence acts as an apologist for immoral acts committed. (Moral relativism is the idea that there is no universal or absolute set of moral principles and they vary from people to people and culture to culture)
The concept of natural law is inherent in each human being. Each human being gets a feeling when doing something ‘wrong’. Here wrong simply means an act that goes against natural law. It reminds him that he should not do it as something doesn’t feel right. It’s an intuitive feeling;
also like a voice from inside showing disagreement and reluctance to go ahead with the act. It is however also true that one’s mind can smother that voice by moral relativism and rationalising that act. More so if one has been living in a world where most have abdicated morality and hence have been programmed to act against the natural law.
The world we live in was hijacked by such people who decided to violate the natural law as soon as it came into existence. We read similar mythological stories of fallen angels across several civilisations who were banished from the Kingdom of Heaven when they turned wicked. What exactly is ‘wicked’? It simply means going against the natural law. Wicked acts ultimately hurt someone or his free will. Hence against the natural law. Evil, wrong, corrupt and crime are synonymous with wicked in that sense.
Let us analyse how acts against the natural law are crimes or wrongs. Stealing results into loss to someone. You yourself would not want anything stolen from you. Hence stealing is against the natural law. Killing results into taking the life of an individual which you would not want to be done to yourself. Hence it is against the natural law. Raping someone is wrong because someone’s personal body is being violated. You would not want something like that to happen to your body or your family. Hence it is against the natural law. Kidnapping is confinement of someone against his will. You would not want yourself to be in any such situation. Hence kidnapping is against the natural law. Telling lies results into misleading other person who will take decisions based on your lies. This may result into loss or harm to him. You would not like similar fate for yourself. Hence lying is against the natural law. In conclusion, anything that is against the natural law would be wrong.
This one natural law covers every aspect and is complete in itself. Free will is the freedom of choice. Natural law implies that any act that affects, supresses or restricts freedom of choice of someone directly or indirectly is wrong. So one should not impose any rule or law that an individual finds against his freedom of choice. Doesn’t matter whether it is ‘very beneficial’ law or it is ‘in the interest of society at large’ or for ‘greater good’. Individual and his right of free will is a natural right and is above any institution. This right should not be violated. This is because any delegation, suppression or destruction of it will result into one form of slavery or the other. People forming government to take decisions on their behalf is ‘delegation’ of free will. This results into few people legislating laws without involving all people or taking their consent. Those laws become the tool for control over and exploitation of the people. People are continuously milked for taxes, fed propaganda and recruited to carry on the agenda of politicians in power. This is nothing but a slave system. Government or authority of any kind is thus repugnant to natural law. The concept of government being formed to frame rules for the society doesn’t hold much water as well. Do we need any man-made law to live in harmony besides natural law? Natural law covers all the aspects and thus any other rule or law made by humans are redundant.
Think of any law or rule that is in place and analyse whether natural law covers it or not. As discussed in a previous paragraph, it covers all the major crimes. Most of the other crimes as defined in law books are simply nuances of these basic crimes or wrongs. So we have an ultimate test to ascertain whether an act is right or wrong. If it against the natural law then it is wrong. Simple.
Now the next argument for the framing of laws is defining the punishments for crime. The government in power frame laws to define punishments for the acts that society considers as crimes. Besides defining the crime, the punishment for committing it is also decided and coded. Now a very basic question is: who should decide the degree of punishment? Bunch of people in power, society or the person on whom the crime was committed? The correct answer is: the person on whom the crime was committed. No other person can decide what justice he ought to get. Society wants to look noble and caring. However, if that was the case then its job would be to catch the criminal and hand him over to the victim. Let victim decide what punishment the criminal should get. Instead society or government want to ‘act on behalf of people’ to frame laws and implement them. It gives itself all the power to frame and implement as it deems fit. In reality the creation of any such authority (society, government etc.) is to control, regulate and force obedience from people. The argument that it is constituted by the people and has will of the people is a deeply flawed and deceptive concept. Flawed because all people do not participate in framing of those laws. Even their consent is not taken before implementation of those laws. Hence results into exploitation and injustice of some people. Deceptive because it is simply a mask of goodwill put on by wicked or power hungry people who want to control, force obedience and rule over people.
Whether there can be any authority as per natural law that makes rules and takes decisions for individuals? Yes. Only if every such decision or rule is ratified by each individual and it must not apply to him unless he doesn’t give consent to it. A bunch of individuals even though elected by people doesn’t have the authority to violate free will of others. It is repugnant to natural law. Hence all governments and authority of any kind of modern world is against natural law. This is because consent of all is not taken while framing and imposing of laws made by such political systems.
Besides, the need and justification for creation of any authority to frame laws seems forced as natural law covers every aspects. Any other aspect is a creation of the current perverted system put in place by depraved people whose only agenda is to have power over people.
In the current perverted world, the idea of right has been superseded by the idea of legitimate. Legitimate means anything conforming to the laws or rules in place. So some acts can become legitimate and illegitimate depending on present dispensation. For example, sometimes it becomes legitimate to drink alcohol and sometimes it becomes illegitimate. Likewise gathering of people in large numbers becomes illegitimate sometimes while it is legitimate on other occasions. It is quite clear that the concept of legitimacy is man-made and simply depends on the prevailing opinion of what is right. Right however is always right. An act cannot be right sometimes and wrong sometimes. An act is either right or wrong. There is no grey area. Drinking alcohol or taking drugs is an individual’s choice. It’s his free will to choose or not to choose. Unless he doesn’t harm anyone after taking these things, the act is not against natural law. Hence it is not wrong. If it is affecting his health he can be persuaded to leave the habit but the choice remains with him alone. Restricting his right to choose is against the natural law and hence is wrong. Similarly gathering of people in large number when not hurting anyone is not wrong by any means. On the contrary, restricting people to do so is against their free will and would be wrong.
Let us understand how governments and authorities comprising of few people are against the natural law by analysing these cases.
A. Suppose we have 2 people – Adam and Satan. Both live as per natural law and no one transgresses on each other’s property and interferes in each other’s matters. Rules, if any, are made only when both are part of the deliberations and both agree to it.
B. Suppose we have 2 people – Adam and Satan. Satan comes one day and tells Adam that he has made a certain rule and Adam has to abide by it. Adam naturally protests and opposes it. However, Satan says that he can use force to enforce his rule. He then puts Adam in a prison.
C. Suppose we have 2 people – Adam and Satan. Adam chooses Satan to take decisions for him on his behalf. Satan comes one day and tells Adam that he has made certain rule and Adam has to abide by it. Adam finds the rule as oppressive and protests against it. However, Satan says that he can use force to enforce his rule. He then puts Adam in a prison.
D. Suppose there is a group of 100 people. They all participate in all decision making process and majority opinion reigns supreme. Others who oppose have also to abide by it.
E. Suppose there is a group of 100 people. They all participate in all decision making process and decisions are taken only when all agree.
F. Suppose there is a group of 100 people. They choose 5 amongst themselves to take decisions on their behalf. These 5 participate in all decision making process and opinion agreed to by all 5 reigns supreme. All 100 people are to abide by it whether they agree or not.
G. Suppose there is a group of 100 people. They choose 5 amongst themselves to take decisions on their behalf. These 5 participate in all decision making process and opinion agreed to by majority among 5 reigns supreme. All 100 people are to abide by it whether they agree or not.
Only A and E follows natural law. All others are a form of slavery of one kind or the other. D, F and G are what we call modern governments of one form or the other. In F and G, the rules are being made by only a fraction of people and they are still to be obeyed whether people agree to it or not. This is nothing but slavery.
To eliminate the element of slavery, any rule which is made by a group of individuals and agreed by all of them should apply only to that group. It should not apply to anyone who was not part of that group or if he doesn’t consent to it. All decisions must be taken unanimously before imposing it on the group. Majority decision may not be right. But it can become acceptable only when it is agreed to and consented by all. In addition to that, any such decision or act must be imposed only on the people in that group. Depending on consent, a decision or an act becomes acceptable or unacceptable. No decision must be taken if all do not agree. That idea which is not unanimously accepted must be dropped. All these are required to ensure justice to everyone based on the natural law.
Any authority formed must follow the natural law and it must be temporary. As soon as the goal is reached it must be dissolved. The permanency of any authority is the reason why any form of government or authority gets corrupt. The problem is not who should sit on ‘chair’ but the problem is the continued existence of the ‘chair’.
The idea of forming permanent governments for achievement of common goals is very dangerous. It is the precursor to the formation of slave system that we currently live in. Last chapter of this book deals with the same.
