THE LAW OF LOVE
Of the 40,000 words written in many fragments during Walter Russell’s illumination of 1921, a select few were printed in 1946 in his book The Secret of Light. More were published in 1948 and 1949 as Vols. 1&2 of The Message of the Divine Iliad. One passage from The Message of the Divine Iliad sounds the keynote of the Message and the essence of Natural Law:
“Great art is simple. My universe is great art, for it is simple.
“Great art is balanced. My universe is consummate art, for it is balanced simplicity.
“My universe is one in which many things have majestic measure; and again another many have measure too fine for sensing.
“Yet I have not one law for majestic things, and another law for things which are beyond the sensing.
“I have but one law for all My opposed pairs of creating things; and that law needs but one word to spell it out, so hear Me when I say that the one word of My one law is
BALANCE
“And if man needs two words to aid him in his knowing of the workings of that law, these words are
BALANCE INTERCHANGE
“If man still needs more words to aid his knowing of My one law, give to him another one, and let these three words be
RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE
In this passage from the Message the words are spoken to man from the Father-Mother God. Catapulted into cosmic consciousness, Walter Russell was a Messenger who was to translate what he knew in wordless essence into words for man. Thus, in this passage the “I”’s and the “My”’s refer to the deity. Walter Russell is only a channel through which God is releasing knowledge to mankind. The essence of this new knowledge is the one basic law of creation set forth in the quoted passage, and so often referred to by Lao Russell as The Law of Love.
The Message of the Divine Iliad gives man a dynamic knowledge of God through knowledge of His invisible universe, and His ways and processes of creating His visible universe. Man is a duality, for he lives in two universes, one of which is mental and one of which is physical. This is the basic mind-body polarization which anyone recognizes. The physical universe is the universe of the sensing, from which we gain our information from impressions of happenings and experiences. The mental universe is the universe of knowing from which we get our knowledge. Sense data or information received by the senses must be understood or “digested” before it becomes Mind-knowing. The universe of sensing is the visible, material, electric universe of motion with which we are familiar. The universe of knowing is the invisible universe which we cannot see. The BALANCE which God maintains is that of an equilibrium between the invisible universe and the visible universe. In the Russell Cosmogony the universe is revealed as a mind-motion-tonal universe instead of the matter-energy-substance universe which scientists believe it to be. This new age cosmogony explains the great mystery of “how matter emerges from space and is swallowed up by space.” This mystery to present day scientists is presented in the Russell Cosmogony as dynamic scientific understanding of how Creation emerges from its Creator and returns to Him.
In the first four sentences of this passage God says to man that “great art is simple” and that His “universe is great art, for it is simple.” He also states that “great art is balanced” and that His “universe is consummate art, for it is balanced simplicity.” The simplicity of God’s full process of creation is stated more scientifically by the Russells’ formula:
God divides the stillness of His omnipresent Oneness into mated
pairs, and simultaneously multiplies their power to simulate His
omnipotence and omniscience through fast centripetal motion.
He then unites His mated pairs to simulate His Oneness; and
simultaneously multiplies their speed of centrifugal motion
until they disappear into His omnipresent stillness.
The “balanced simplicity” of this process of creation is not difficult to comprehend, and apply its complexities, when one thoroughly comprehends the above formula. One does not comprehend by merely sensing words on a page with eyes, however; one comprehends after much meditation through which sensing becomes knowing. The basic balanced simplicity of the one law of creation shows the balanced relation between the invisible universe of mind-of-rest and the visible universe of electrically compressing (centripetal) and expanding (centrifugal) motion. The application of this knowledge is what Lao and Walter Russell endeavored to give to the world throughout their lives, against the resistance of a world which believes that the energy which created motion is in motion, instead of in its Creator, and also believes in substance as being real, instead of being pure illusion created by fast motion to simulate substance.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh sentences of the quoted passage state that although the “universe is one in which many things have majestic measure; and again many have measure too fine for sensing,” there is not “one law for majestic things, and another law for things which are beyond the sensing” but rather there is only “one law for all My Pairs of creating things.” This is another statement of the basic simplicity of the universe. From this statement God continues by expressing His one law in three successive ways each time adding one word to further clarify His meaning. The one LAW OF BALANCE is the same underlying principle that holds galaxies in their orbit, as holds the sun in its orbit within the Milky Way galaxy, as holds the earth in its orbit around our sun, as holds sub-atomic elements in their orbits. The philosophic-scientific word for this on law is BALANCE, but an even more scientific word for this law is GRAVITY, for we live in a GRAVITY CONTROLLED AND MIND IMAGINED THROUGH-WAVE UNIVERSE. The Russell concept of GRAVITY is more complete than that of the Einstein Equation of 1905 however, for that equation only took into account the centrifugal, expanding half of the balanced two-way process set forth in the above formula for the process of creation. In other words, Einstein’s theory of relativity is only a subset of a larger unified field that Einstein himself intuitively apprehended toward the end of his life but was never able to successfully formulate. Man’s acceptance of Einstein’s theory of relativity as the whole truth has contributed to the fallacious theory of entropy which posits a universe undergoing a heat-death instead of an eternal, infinite cyclic-creative universe.
Several words in sentence seven of this passage bear emphasis: “opposed pairs of creating things.” These “pairs of creating things” correspond exactly to the “mated pairs” in the formula given above for the full process of creation. These “pairs” are the opposite pressure conditions which are divided from the stillness of God’s omnipresent Oneness to seek balance in their union and which then again separate to disappear back into His omnipresent stillness. These “pairs” of opposite pressure conditions are always sexed, male and female, whether they are elements or living organisms. It is the opposite pressure conditions of these male and female pairs which engage in the dynamic creative process of the givings and regivings (actions and reactions) of RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE. Rhythmic balanced interchangings are evident in all of Nature’s effects, from the steady walk of a man to the alternating piston strokes of an engine, to the whir of a motor or the crashing of waves on the seashore.
The LAW OF BALANCE is the LAW OF LOVE upon which the universe is founded. This law is given to man in THE MESSAGE OF THE DIVINE ILIAD for his coming renaissance of greater comprehension of God’s ways and process of Creation. Consisting of only those words, it is of all laws the most inclusive, and the most simple. These three words express the very foundation of all our material existence, all phenomena of matter or interchange between humans economically, socially, and spiritually. Oppositely conditioned pairs in nature seek balance through each other by repeatedly giving all that each has to give to the other in rhythmic sequences. In nature this process continues perpetually because in nature all givings of one are perpetually balanced by equal regivings of the other. If each of the two conditions which form the basis for every transaction between pairs of opposites in nature can be kept in balance with the other the resultant effect is good. When they are out of balance, the resultant effect is bad. Whatever these “opposed pairs” do in any transaction results in an effect. All human relations are thus divided, and transactions between humans result in either good or bad effects which are called happiness or misery in accordance with whether the transaction is balance or unbalanced. Man can make whichever he chooses, by desires and decisions to act either in, or out, of balance with Universal Law.
In an endeavor to find happiness, wealth and power, man has broken the Law throughout history. Nations have enriched themselves by impoverishing other nations, expecting to find happiness by giving misery—expecting to attain power by depriving others of power. Our war broken world is the result of our previous breaking of the Law. God’s universe of love is balance. Man cannot upset God’s balance; He can but upset his own. To the God Mind all stages of the workings of Creation are always perfect. No matter how unbalanced the interchange between any opposites of creating things, that unbalance is balanced in God. This is as scientific as the fact that every action has an opposite and equal reaction. In other words, God gives man the right of free will in his actions but He reserves the right of balancing man’s actions with their reactions. The Law of Love is thus absolute in nature. It has no relation to morality, religion, sin, good or evil. It is the cause of all effect. When we ask forgiveness for our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, it should not be in the sense that we have trespasses against God, or caused Him grief or sorrow because of our acts, but in the sense that we have trespassed against ourselves and our neighbors by breaking the law of rhythmic balanced interchange in our dealings with one another. We thus hurt ourselves, and every other man on earth, by lowering the standard for all mankind. Conversely, every balanced act raises the standard for all mankind.
At mankind’s present level of unfolding, man knows little about his universe and its Creator, and so he still fears, hates, conquers and kills for the greed which is still a large part of the human relation of man, and he makes enemies because he does not know of his eternal brotherhood and oneness with all other men. All through man’s history, man has based his power on money and the might-over-right practices of war. Man must now instead base his power on Love and RHYTHMIC BALANCED INTERCHANGE in all human relations. The world’s imbalance can be reversed by practicing a balanced scientific philosophy of life based upon Natural Law—fully knowing the relationship of man to God, and of man to man. The knowledge taught by The Science of Man can transform the human race from its present disunited fearing stage to one of unity in which the intents of the Creator shall be fulfilled, with the Dawn of a New Day in Human Relations.
