Diana Cooper - A Little Light On The Spiritual Laws

As above so below. This is the first Law of the Universe. On Earth as it is in heaven.

If you are a parent you love all your children the same whether they are babies, toddlers or adults. You believe in them, even though they may be going through a difficult phase. A mother may shake her head in sorrow at the behavior of her young children, but she does not judge them. She knows they will grow up.

The parents of a small child do not love him less because he is jealous of his baby sister. They understand and try to help him with his conflicting feelings. When he is older they do not stop loving him because he struggles with his homework. They offer help.

God does not stop loving you when you have turbulent emotions or find a piece of work difficult. Nor does He judge you. Rather you are encouraged and helped by His angels.

The Universe loves you and holds a vision of your
future as an enlightened person no matter what
mistakes you are making on Earth.

Wise parents gently direct and encourage their children to develop their talents. At the same time they give them freedom to learn from their own mistakes. The more sensible a child is, the more freedom of choice you allow him.

We cannot always prevent our children from suffering the consequences of their actions. Strong-willed children follow their own desires into trouble. Have you ever watched a toddler determined to touch the hot stove despite being told a dozen times it will hurt? Often it is only the experience of hurt that allows them to learn.

We, too, are given free choice. Like any sensible parent, the Divine will step in and try to guide us if we are going wildly off track. However, under spiritual law, God will not force us to do His will. If we are hell-bent, He will stand back and allow us to learn the hard way.

As in any family, young souls are carefully supervised by God while evolved souls are given responsibility for themselves.
