* A list of quotes from TP regarding Universal Law
http://www.thiaoouba.com/hebrew/eng_universalLaws1.htm
The text below is mostly from the above url which had compiled a good list of Laws from TP. But I have also added one or two other quotes and fixed one or two problems with the quotes (hope they don't mind).
Univeral Law
" 'You should always bear in mind this main point: An Astral body, in all cases, must conform to Universal Law, and, by following nature as closely as possible, it can achieve the ultimate goal by the fastest path "
"Nature has very inflexible rules with well- established safeguards."
Nine - the Universal number
" ...the number nine is the number of the Universe. You are here in the city of Nine Dokos [Dokos are are egg-shaped buildings utilised on Thiaoouba] founded on Universal Law. "
Law : Spiritual development - man's principal obligation
" Universal law decrees that man's principal obligation, regardless of which planet he happens to inhabit, is to develop his spirituality. "
" Man exists physically for the sole purpose of developing spiritually. "
Law : If you make a mistake, you pay the penalty
" Universal Law is well-established and is as strictly enforced as that which controls the planets revolutions around their suns.
If you make a mistake, you pay the penalty - immediately, in ten years time, or in ten centuries time, but errors must be paid for. "
Parallel universe
" We are, you and I, [Michel and Thao respectively] at this moment, in a universe which is parallel to that of Earth. " " ... people passed into this universe at a certain time, and they have lived in that time ever since. " " ... it is part of natural, and therefore universal law. "
[Ed: It is up for debate what kind of Universal Law Thao was speaking of here. I thought perhaps she was referring to "If you make a mistake, you pay the penalty" or perhaps even "Beyond a certain point, the law strictly forbids aid of any kind"]
Law : Suicide
" Universal Law forbids suicide "
Law : Fornication with animals
" Fornication with animals [...] is absolutely contrary to Nature and Universal Law. " [ed: I have corrected this quote as the one given in the above URL was incomplete]
Law : Beyond a certain point, the law strictly forbids aid from Thiaoouba of any kind
" ...from time to time we [the people of Thiaoouba] are permitted, or even advised, to offer a helping hand but we are formally forbidden to 'serve the meal on a plate' ".
" We can help in certain situations but only so far. Beyond a certain point, the law strictly forbids aid of any kind. "
" We do, at times, prevent your experts from ‘playing with matches’ but it is important that our assistance not be relied upon when mistakes are made. If we judge it appropriate to ‘lend a hand’, we do so, but we can’t, and we don’t wish to save you from disaster automatically - that would be to contravene Universal Law. "
[Ed - Not sure if this is relevant, however I think this last quote below might help explain why the Law exists :..]
"..The second reason is a psychological one; if we had made these people aware of our existence and if they had realised we were there in order to help them, they would passively have allowed themselves to be helped and would have felt sorry for themselves. This would adversely affect their will to survive. As you say on Earth: ‘God helps those who help themselves.’"
Law : Universal Law regarding categories of planets
"If you go forward, [to a higher category planet] disregarding Universal Law, you will die; if you go backwards, [to a lower category planet] you expose yourself to worse conditions because your advanced spirituality can't exist in a materialistic environment. "
" Universal Law would require that you be reincarnated on Earth, if you had not yet finished your time there. "
".. they were on a [lower category] planet that was forbidden to them by Universal Law."
