God’s Law and the Law of Nature
Volume 11 describes two divine principles: the law of the seed and the law of the field. The author writes that God’s law is also called the law of nature. The Gods have created and managed the whole world, including nature and humans, using God’s law. And both God’s law and the law of nature are the same. Thus, if you observe nature carefully and find a principle associated with nature, it can apply to human beings as well. As indicated by the names of two divine principles, the law of the seed and the law of the field, the principles can be found in the nature of the seed and the field.
Gods give human beings more freedom than other living creatures, such as animals, fish, and insects. We can consider and decide our behavior and activities. Still, because we live in a world managed by God’s laws, we must learn the laws. It is similar to learning traffic laws when we drive a car. If you do not obey traffic laws, you are more likely to be involved in an accident. The world is driven by the law(s) of nature, and we have to follow the law(s). It proves that human beings are part of nature.
Moral Education
The author explains the importance of moral education to teach good and bad behaviors. People with high IQs, but without morals, could hurt other people and become criminals. Such activities cause bad karma. People with good morals are truly intelligent and have wisdom. They are kind and helpful to other people. They do not hurt people.
The methods for teaching moral education are often contentious because the teaching could be too religious or too political for some people. The author teaches various aspects of moral education with God’s law. As God’s law does not depend on regions, religions, races, or cultures, the moral education based on God’s law is applicable to people of any religion and culture.
Create Good karma
“You reap what you sow” describes the principle of karma. It is a core principle of the law of seed as well. Sprouts appear after you sow seeds in the soil. As a tiny seed can produce a large flower or plant, a small negative action or thought can have a large negative impact on your life.
People tend to conceal negative actions and thoughts, which are more likely to plant a seed in the soil, increasing the likelihood of negative outcomes. People, on the other hand, prefer to demonstrate positive behaviors in order to receive praise, and the demonstration is more likely to be sown on the ground rather than in the soil. A sprout does not usually appear when a seed is planted in the ground. As a result, people do not benefit from their good actions. It is important to keep doing good things even if people do not praise you. The author gives us detailed instructions on how to get good results.
Remove Bad Karma
To remove bad karma, we need to understand the law of karma and our karma. When you study God’s law, if something bad happens, you won’t try to excuse it by saying it is not your fault. You would apologize even if you don’t remember, since you understand it might be because of your thoughts or actions in a previous life, or maybe you had done a small bad action that had a big consequence. Sometimes people do not understand that it was a bad action or thought. For example, the author says that, to earn a salary of $3,000, you have to work more than $5,000. If you received a salary of $3,000 for less work, the action would be considered a bad one because it caused the company to lose money. I suppose that many people do not know about this. When the negative result happens, we must sincerely apologize to God and improve our thoughts and actions. Through our actions, we can remove our bad karma.
Ways to receive help from God
Many people already have illnesses and concerns that come from karma. This book teaches readers how to receive help from God. Praying with the divine name is one of the most important ways. The words for praying and God’s name are shared in the book.
