The Natural Laws work hand-in-hand with the circle. Each part of a circle will look to the center and will see something different.

For example, if you put an irregular shaped object in the center of a circle and you have people standing in a circle around the object, each one will describe it differently.
Everyone in the circle will be right.

Only by honouring and respecting everyone’s input, can the truth about the object be revealed. We need to learn to honor differences. –Elders Meditations | More…

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. –Matthew 7 It’s the Law of Life, the Law of Consciousness, that as we think and speak and act towards others, so will others think, and speak and act towards us. Whatever sort of conduct we give out, that we are inevitably bound to get back. –Sermon on the Mount/Emmet Fox, Chapter 6/p.94-96 | More…  

The Natural Law is a spiritual law. Its powers are both light and dark.

There are some characteristics that are evident in the system which the Creator made. He made balance, harmony, and polarity.

In other words, every (+) plus has a (-) minus. Every positive has a negative; every up has a down; every problem has a solution.

The Spiritual Law is the same—it has light and dark. Both are good, so both need to be honoured.

Lessons can be learned on both sides. –Elders Meditations | More…

Natural Law will prevail regardless of man-made laws, tribunals, and governments.” The Great Spirit made Laws by which Man needs to live.

These Laws are just and are about living in harmony. Man has passed many laws that say it is okay to do things.

Many of these man-made laws are out of harmony with the Laws of the Great Spirit. These man-made laws will cause trouble for the human being if they are out of harmony with the Laws of the Creator. –Elders Meditations | More…

The Creator gave to all people and to all things the Wisdom and the knowledge of how to live in harmony. Some tribes call these teachings the original Instructions, the original teachings, or the Great Laws. All of Nature lives and survives according to these teachings. In modern times, human beings are searching for the Instructions. Many churches claim they have these Instructions. Where are these teachings? The Instructions are written in our hearts. –Elders Meditations | More…

There is no power greater than the Natural Laws. These powers were set up by the Great Spirit in such a way that the human being has no access to it, except by obeying. If we
choose not to follow the Natural Laws, our live will be filled with confusion, tension, anxiety and stress. If we poison the Earth, we poison ourselves. If we poison the Water of
the Earth, we poison ourselves. As we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves and our children, even the children unborn. May we think about this today and ask ourselves, “Are we holding and acting toward the Mother Earth in a good way?” –Elders Meditations | More...

Everything really is equal. Everybody and everything lives by the same Laws. –Elders Meditations | More…

I cannot hide my true spirit and intent from the Creator. He created a system of justice. This system of justice says we will get back whatever we plant. If I plant good then good returns – if we plant bad, then we will suffer the consequences. Whatever we think about another person, the same things are thought about us. Whatever we send out is sent back. Man cannot alter this system of justice. It doesn’t matter what we say or do. What really matters is what we really, really did. –Elders Meditations | More…

The Creator gives us many laws to live by. These are different than the laws of man. The laws of the Creator are designed for us to live in harmony and balance with ourselves and each other. These laws are about having freedom and happiness. –Elders Meditations | More…

Our true enemies, as well as our true sources of strength lie within. The Creator put inside the human being the secrets to the laws of life. We tend to give up accountability. One way or another we say, “It’s not my fault.” We need to realize that all permanent and lasting change starts on the inside and works its way out. –Elders meditations | More…
