To understand how evil controls people, it is necessary to
understand the difference between principle and law.
A principle is a truth that creates freedom. A law is a lie that
creates slavery.
Principles describe reality. They are knowledge that help you
to make use of your world. Because of your intelligence, you
recognize principles in everything you do. Every true thing you
learn is a principle. The movements of your hands, which foods
taste good, mathematics and empathy for a friend are all based
on principles.
Laws are artificial ideas created by evil men to restrict the
thinking and understanding of people. Laws mask themselves in
authority so that they can impersonate principles. When people
mistake law for principle their freedom is restricted. When
people mistake truth for the ideas of authority, their abilities and
their wisdom are diminished. This is the purpose of law.
An example of a principle can be found in thermodynamics. A
liquid is cooler than a gas. This is a principle. Because this is a
principle, it does not restrict us, but enables us. Using this
principle, we can condense and expand a substance between gas
and liquid to create refrigeration. With this principle, we have
more understanding and more power. Principles are truths that
create freedom.
An example of a law can be found in the culture of royalty. A
commoner owes homage to the king. This is a law. Because this
is a law, it destroys freedom and enslaves. Under this law, a
person must neglect usage of their minds, their speech and their
actions. They must believe that they are worth less than the king.
Notice that unlike principle, there is no truth in law. It is entirely
possible to disrespect the king, and therefore to break the law.
Law must be enforced, because there is no truth in it. A law
destroys freedom because it is a lie. A principle, however,
creates freedom because it is knowledge.
That which destroys freedom is evil.
