easily found. When a certain standard is fixed and you begin to pattern your life after such a standard your life will come to a standstill, and that in itself is a violation of all the laws of life. Even though the standard itself may be high, if your conception of that standard is fixed you will remain stationary by trying to live up to it. And the greatest wrong of all wrongs is to remain stationary; that is, to retard your own progress. We cannot obey the laws of life without moving forward, because as previously stated, the very principle of life itself is a perpetual forward movement; and so long as we move forward in all things and at all times we obey the laws of life without trying to do so. Therefore, instead of giving so much time trying to conform to all sorts of temporal laws we should give our time to the application of the principle of all law, which is growth, progress and ascension.

To obey consciously every law in our own sphere of existence is impossible. To simply enumerate them one after another would require an age. We realize therefore that in order to obey all the laws of life it is necessary to conform to the principle of all laws, which is advancement along all lines. When we apply the principle of advancement to everything we do, we will be in harmony with all laws without ever thinking about them. And it is this state which has been described as being above the law, or a law unto one's self.
