===Quote===
“[[Freedom]] is the gift of [[civilization]] made possible by the enforcement of LAW.” ([[134:6|Urantia Papers 134:6.1]]).
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, the above quote is concise and to the point. There is no freedom outside of LAW [the adherence to the universal and [[cosmic]] Laws] as unbridled freedom is not conducive to overall freedom — the highest [[good]].
“[[Lucifer]] rebelled against Divine Laws and campaigned for unrestrained personal liberties. This resulted in planetary [[chaos]] and, to this day, [[humanity]] still has to deal with the horrendous [[consequences]] of such blatant acts of insubordination.
“There is no such thing as [[individual]] [[freedom]] if it is claimed without taking into account overall freedom. Such a claim of personal freedom at the expense of others’ God-given [[rights]] to Freedom is utmost [[selfishness]] and turns the individual into a cosmic outlaw rather than a cosmic freedom fighter.
“The LAW is the adherence to the [[Golden Rule]] that teaches the individual all around respect — toward [[the self]] and others. It has its own in-built safeguard.
“’Treat others as you want to be treated’ admonishes you to go within and to check your [[attitude]] toward yourself and others. [[Respect]] should be all-inclusive and undiscriminating toward any of God’s [[creatures]].
“How can you respect yourself if you condone unbridled liberties and are harming yourself and others in the [[process]]? In [[everything]] you [[think]], speak, and do, take others into account as you live in a [[community]] — in a greater [[organism]] — whose well being is affected if any part malfunctions.
“Throughout the ages, civilizations emerged that put in place meaningful [[laws]] so as to preserve the equilibrium of their communities and protect the rights of their [[citizens]]. It is not because you can do something, that you should do it. [[Love]] implies self-restraint and the [[dedication]] of the smaller self to much greater agendas than its own.
“Laws are there to preserve the [[Peace]]. That goes for inner laws as well as external ones. The inner laws for you to abide by are the Laws governed by [[Truth, Beauty and Goodness]] as well as [[Love]], [[Compassion]] and [[Empathy]]. They are meant to preserve your [[integrity]]; they are meant to assure you that you are progressing and on the right [[path]]. They are meant to enlighten and harmonize you.
“For those who place weight on such criteria, it is easier to comply with the laws of [[society]] as they have developed inner freedom, [[manifested]] by the Love that pours out from their [[open heart]].
“Whenever you make a ‘free-will’ [[decision]], stop and ponder if it is really taken ‘freely’ or if it stems from an [[addictive]] behavior meant to simply [[gratify]] yourself. Decisions based on [[greed]], [[lust]], [[jealousy]] or the acquisition of [[power]] over others are not reflective of inner freedom.
“The role of society is to issue laws in sync with the [[Golden Rule]] in order to protect its citizens against outlaws without scruples. This is how true freedom comes about, allowing the citizenship to express itself in [[Truth, Beauty and Goodness]] — [[Love]] — rather than being held hostage by [[fears]] and anxieties.
===Closing===
“How truly free are you? Start by scrutinizing your own [[life]] so that you can detect what is holding you back in your [[ascension]] process. You cannot ascend to higher realms of [[experience]] if you are weighed down by the dead weight of misguided [[intentions]].”
