I have been reading Leo Tolstoy's book, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and I see how it turned a lawyer, M. K. Gandhi into the Mahatma of India. It is the Law of Jesus (The Sermon on The Mount/ Matthew 5-7) we must focus upon, not the law of Jesus and Moses, if we are to have an optimized life.
We must not seek possession but only to love one another. It is this issue of possession that is so centralized in the state and the powerful who make up the state violence machine that must become a non-reality. As we focus on Truth and Non-violence, we lessen the role of possession and the resulting state and see ultimately a lack of a need for its taxes, its legal system that is less than truth only, it war machine.
We then find a life without judgment of others as Jesus' law taught, not as the Law of Jesus and Moses taught. The Sermon on the Mount is the whole law, and it is the path to the new world of light and love.
Whatever we think of Jesus, he is the greatest law giver of all.
Whatever we think of Jesus, he is the greatest law giver of all.
