Theos-Talk Archives (November 1998 Message tl00085)

Nov 15th 1998

AS I understand it the Universe is ruled by the Laws of Nature -
harmony and cooperation being the most important.

That which is constructive and universally beneficent is
considered "white."  That which is selfish, maleficent and
destructive is considered "black."

Sounds simple - but to know and understand all that Nature
already contains is the only way in which we learn.

There is a vast psychological conflict going on is each of us.
It is the battle of the freedom of the Spirit/Soul vs. the
bondage of the personal and "one-life" vision of the
personality - the mask of matter that we wear.

The BHAGAVAD GITA covers the pros and cons very well.

Involution of matter which GdeP calls the "downward or
shadowy arc" and the evolution of spirit which he calls
the upward "luminous arc".
