The Elegance and Power of Natural
Law to Transform and Renew Life
A Message from Neale Donald Walsch,
author of Conversations with God and Friendship with God
Life emerges, when
allowed to do so naturally, in a way which always produces
magnificence. There is nothing more magnificent than a rose, a
snowflake, a star bursting in the heavens, or any natural process that
is allowed to express the intelligence of life. These beauties are
unspeakable, they are breathtaking. And they can also be part of the
human experience. The infinite intelligence at the basis of these
natural processes can be applied to the political arena, to our
educational systems, our health systems, our energy and agricultural
systems, our economics, and our spirituality.
The Natural Law Party excites the human heart through the simple idea
that when we apply natural laws to the various processes of life, we
can return the simple elegance of natural law to our own lives.
Something deep inside each of us knows that it is through this return
to the integrity within ourselves that we become capable of greatness,
both individually and as a society. The experience and expression of
collective greatness is that for which each individual yearns. For it
is a natural law that declares the unification, the unity, the oneness
of all life. Sadly, it has been our determination over the past
several hundred years to pretend that we are not all one at our
basis—to live as exclusionary beings, and create exclusionary
institutions, exclusionary religions, exclusionary governments,
exclusionary nations—that has destroyed the grandest dreams of
humankind.
The Natural Law Party stands up in the public arena and announces with
utter simplicity, “There is a process which can govern the affairs
of human beings as it has governed every other process of life from
the beginning of time. This is natural law. We can take these natural
laws and apply them to any problem and call forth a solution—a
solution which does not create winners and losers, but a solution
which allows all people affected by the problem to find a benefit
where all of us can win—a ‘win-win’ solution.”
Greatness has not been absent from us individually on this planet, but
it has been absent from us collectively. With all too few historical
exceptions, when “we the people” have acted together, we have
allowed ourselves to drop to the lowest common denominator in our
choices and actions. The Natural Law Party calls us to our highest
commonly held purpose, and asks the most important question of all:
“What would happen if we governed ourselves according to the highest
understanding we hold in common?” If this idea doesn't excite and
motivate you, nothing will.
We are facing the most important juncture of our lives, because now
forthe first time in human history, we have the ability to annihilate
ourselves—unilaterally and completely. I don’t mean simply with
weapons of mass destruction. I mean with the sudden and simultaneous
dismantling of every system which has supported any kind of life on
this planet—from our ecology to our economy, from our politics to
our spirituality. And if we are not careful, we will dismantle
this all too soon. Within this reality natural law will still play out
its affect, but we may not be around to watch the process.
Now is the crucial time for each of us to step in and work together to
re-create the process, to collectively create a new reality. This is
the exciting role the Natural Law Party is destined to play in the
affairs of the human race—to provide us with a foundation with which
to achieve the magnificent possibilities that already exist within us,
naturally. This is why the Natural Law Party must—and will—succeed
in its efforts, and that is why I will do whatever I can to co-create
that.
