Basic Laws for the Public

ALICE A. BAILEY, Esoteric Psychology I, page
297 – 303: “When certain basic postulates, four in number, have been presented and kept before the mind of the public, they will finally lead to such an education of public opinion that the needed activities will follow. …

Therefore, the first postulate which must be laid down, and to which the general public must be educated, is that all souls incarnate and re-incarnate under the Law of Rebirth. …

The second basic postulate was enunciated for us by Christ when he told us to “love our neighbor as ourselves.” … But the new law must, and will, be enunciated.  This law can be summed up in the words: Let a man so live that his life is harmless. …

The third basic law underlying the solution of our modern problems, including that of sex, grows normally out of the other two laws.  It is the Law of Group Life.  Our group relations must be seen and acknowledged.  Not only must a man fulfill in love his family and national obligations, but he must think in the wider terms of humanity itself, and so bring the Law of Brotherhood into expression.  Brotherhood is a group quality. …

The final postulate which I seek to emphasize is that the keeping of these three laws will lead necessarily to an urgent desire to keep the law of the land in which a particular soul has incarnated. …

In the recognition of these four laws — of Rebirth, of Love, of the group and of the Land — we shall see the salvation of the race.”
