The Christ Laws for Today

By Linda Mihalic

  The Christ Laws govern the ascension of consciousness ranging from the crudest creature in human form to full soul-comprehension among those Elect who have attained the mind that was in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5, 1 Corinthians 2:16, Romans 12:2). All laws originally derive from a First Principle: Principle is the absolute, universal, unchangeable, undeviating immutable foundation upon which all universes are based and established. First principles are fundamental aspects of The One, such as Truth, Beauty and the Good, the superstructure of everything that can or does exist in God’s Creation.

“The universal first principles form the framework of absolute reality as its laws.”–Edna Lister

  Some laws are absolute, but most are relative. Many laws are abstract, but many more are concrete. Absolute and abstract laws deal with the metaphysical realm—the study of being as reality, the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute and questions that defy scientific observation, analysis, or experimentation.
  Absolute principle is pure, whole, perfect and complete; however, in the moment that absolute principle is extended into the manifest Creation as its guiding principle, it becomes subject to interpretation by the lesser minds within the relative Creation and thus subject to interpretations that are imperfect, impure, partial, and incomplete. Consequently, every absolute principle may appear as the many lesser abstract principles and relative laws of being and of doing throughout the unguessable dimensions of the universe.
  Being is all that God is as potential Wisdom, Love and Power. In dealing with Being as it applies to spiritual laws, we are concerned with states of consciousness, which are states of being. Doing implies action and is kinetic as thinking, sustaining, and activity, which derive from being. You, the soul, must obey many laws of doing in order to become what God meant you to be, that is, to fulfill the laws of being. “I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect.”–Genesis 17:1.
  You will find the names of many Godly principles in scripture, and the names of ten absolute principles in these passages: “The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion.”–Proverbs 3:19-21.
  “Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge are the chambers filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”–Proverbs 24:3-4.
  “Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and Thou art exalted as head above all.”–1 Chronicles 29:11.

“The thinkers and mystics in every age must review and renew
their comprehension of law.”

  Divine law is a dynamic structure, upholding the dynamic system we call the universe. As thinkers and mystics we must in every age review and renew our comprehension of law, discussing it and restating it in the language of our era to refresh our understanding. The search for truth always begins with the desire to know more than you’ve been taught. If you believe that more truth really is available, if you could just find it, you have come to earth with and a sense of “mission” and perhaps a vision of purpose.
  Edna Miriam Lister said, “I came to earth with one idea: I knew everyone could walk with Jesus. I desired a career in grand opera and the political world, but while I was standing in line to hear a famous evangelist, a stranger asked, ‘What is that to thee? Follow thou me.’ I then saw the Master, who said, ‘God is deathless, ageless and abiding. Follow me and avoid the appearance of evil.’ All I have given you has come from this.”
  Edna Lister has given us an astonishing legacy of practical and spiritual wisdom. We have drawn from her personal papers, outlines for sermons and lectures and from her student’s notes taken in private classes and counseling sessions. What follows is a general outline for approaching your spiritual journey on the Via Christa, the path of conquering self and ascension of soul consciousness. You can drink as deeply as you desire, or take only a sip at a time from Wisdom’s Well.
  You can use what you find here as a basis for studying the rules that govern the personal, religious, moral, business and social aspects of your life. We include certain non-standard teachings to disturb complacency and to encourage curiosity. The following lists are by no means exhaustive. You may find many more examples in Scripture, and under the Topics tab.
