Scenes from 'Across the Universe'
God said:
I must address this about following the laws of the land. Of course, go within the speed limits. If you have to get a license, get it. No matter how trival or unnecessary a law may seem, follow the laws of the land. Frankly, beloveds, how many laws, no matter how silly, are worth the time and energy it would take you to protest them?
On the other hand, if there are laws that say it is okay to steal from designated people, if there are laws that say it is okay to kill your neighbor, if there are laws that say to slay the first-born son -- if there are laws that say you must do that which is an affront to My heart and yours, love would tell you not to do them. Love and regard for life certainly come before the taking of life.
"If it were always so simple!" you say, for it is not always so simple. You say: "If I have to choose between shooting someone or being shot, what am I to do then?"
This, beloveds, I will not give you the answer to, because, as always, it is your choice to make, no matter how uneasy it is. You have free will, beloveds, even when forced into situations that are beyond any limits you yourself would ever set.
In the world, murder is not sanctioned, but killing is. In war, you become a hero when you devastate. If you do not devastate, you may be held as a coward. No man would kill women and children, and yet women and children are killed.
You may be totally opposed to killing in any form, yet if a man with a gun is about to shoot your family unless you shoot him first, what do you do then? Whatever you do, it is against your conscience. May you never be in that situation, beloveds!
People have risked their own lives, and the lives of their children, to save other lives. May you never be put to the test.
Sometimes you are faced, even in small things, with having to make difficult choices, to the degree that you are incapable of knowing what is right when every choice seems not right.
Everyone would propound telling truth, but who has not lied to save his neck, or even to get out of a minor scrape? What is even little or big is not always easy to determine.
It is not always easy to have the courage of your convictions. It is not always easy to know what your convictions are.
Sometimes there are situations where you would be hard put to apply the Golden Rule. Should you put your neighbor's life above your own?
If a man is hungry, is it stealing when he grabs a crust of bread from the bakery? Why doesn't someone give him bread?
As you wonder what you would do in certain situations and not really know, you may know a handful of people who will put others' lives before their own. You do know some people who put God's love above man's laws, who put My love above all else, who put My love first because they cannot do less.
They do not think it through. They do not weigh the costs nor play the odds. They will go in front of a car to save a child. They will risk their lives because that is what is up right then. There is no choice for them. This is all that they can do.
I am sorry to bring up such a sad subject, yet I had to say My piece about following the laws of the world so you will know what I mean.
