Laws (Νόμοι)

-From my text on the Logos (The Word).

Laws in themselves are not meant to be imposed. They are meant to be adhered to with coherent principles. The laws of the cosmos are not the same as the laws of mankind. Cosmic laws are principles and universal guiding forces that pervade every aspect of existence. They do not need our belief to operate in the cosmos. They determine physical reality through characteristics and operations of the natural world.

Human laws determine human morals, rights, values and virtues through natural human actions and behaviour. They are the concept of mankind who seeks to establish rules and control individual or social behavior. There are not any divine laws in Meleticism ordained by an all-powerful god. The Meletic belief is one that is centred on the importance of the philosophical truth.

Justice and equality are what we should measure the laws of man. The laws we apply to each other are intended to be just, not evoked from a vengeful person or a scornful god. The cosmos and nature function within their own laws of which are put into effect by the order of the Logos.

Although we are a part of the interactions of the cosmos, we do not alter its operations. Nor do we control them. We are only a quantum of its existential nature. The laws that govern the cosmos are independent of our laws. They do not apply justice as we do in our empirical decisions. The Enas does not impose or enforce laws in the ontological sense.

It is in the natural process of universal existence that it reveals itself through its emanations. In its revelation is, where we find its profound meaning. It is our logic that we construe the basis for our laws. Without the usage of logic, we would have to devise another method of rationality.

Laws that are created by humans are merely the reflection of our thoughts and ideas that should represent our consciousness with impartiality. Philosophical practice of these laws determines the validation of their importance. There is not a necessity for divine commandments to be issued or their imposition, when we have the mental faculties of intellect, logic and consciousness to enable us to establish laws that serve their purpose.

A man with indubitable reason can distinguish the difference between good and evil. He does not require a god. The laws that we heed the most are the laws that have true essence to their fulfilment. Our virtues exemplify our character and self. If we did not have laws to implement, then we would be a chaotic world and society of dysfunctional beings. No man deserves to be worshipped or be presumed a demigod. We have simply outgrown the need for a god.

The Enas is not our designated judge that enacts laws of sovereignty. We decide to judge ourselves for our actions or be judged. There is no greater judge than ourselves. We should be an example for others. There is no actual judgement day in Meleticism, because we are accountable for our deeds or misdeeds committed.

Laws that are conceived on principles have a solid foundation and belief. The word is the logos and the logos is the One. Our conscience teaches us to be just and humane with our ethical thinking. After all, it is our humanity that should define our lives, not the dogmas or doctrines of zealotry.

A law that does not serve the majority is only a law to the few, who deem judgement unto others. A practical man is a man who practises philosophy. He is considered a wise man and teacher. Laws of men are not divine in their nature. They are philosophical. Laws that are governed by the Logos are thus universal.
