NATURE’S LAWS ARE UNERRING, UNCHANGING, UNCHANGEABLE

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Sir,

We live in a world governed by nature’s laws which are unerring, unchanging and unchangeable. One of these laws states that what we do not use, we lose. It’s that simple. Great teachers in history have taught this law and nature carefully examined it too. Think of a man who buys more than enough groceries for himself and stores plenty food in the refrigerator. If the food will not be used for some time, it begins to stink and rot. Unfortunately for him, nature has it otherwise, and in accord with nature’s laws, he loses it.

Creation

Let’s consider an external object to mankind, his creation, namely, an automobile. If a man loves his car so much and does not make use of it but keeps it in the garage, by and by the oil in the engine and in the pipes will begin to corrode it. The elements of nature will corrupt the paint and the freshness and beauty will soon be lost. The more disused the car is, the man loses it. The same thing will happen to a beautiful mansion. The non-usage will cause cracks on the walls and floors; things will slowly but surely fall apart. Now let’s come a bit closer to home; we will take our bodies to demonstrate the workings of this natural law.

Healing

Picture in your mind’s eye a muscular man with big biceps and tough arms. If this man fracture’s his arm and the doctor raps the white cement around it so that he doesn’t use it for some months for purposes of healing, the man will soon lose his muscles. The arm and the biceps will become weak because of disuse, hence ‘that which you don’t use, you lose.’ Now consider the love relationships we get into every now and then. A person ought to give and receive love if they are to keep the fire of love burning; otherwise, they will lose love.
 Demonstratively, a far flung man who travels the world for many months and does not exercise his love to his woman, and in so doing deprives her of receiving and giving the love, the woman will lose the love for the man, particularly when another man keeps showing and exercising love towards her. The converse is true for the traveling man. Another woman may capture his love and/or feelings while losing love for the first woman; for love is a verb and a verb is a doing word. Those in love must do things for each other to keep love. Another case is one of mental miserly: If we don’t use certain aspects of our mental faculties, we will lose them.

Rely

This is to say if you don’t use your ‘will,’ it weakens; if you don’t use your power to think what you want to think, you will lose it since you rely on thinking as you are thought for.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to learn nature’s laws so that we can act in harmony with nature.  Thomas Troward, a former Divisional Judge in the 1800s, taught of another nature’s law: “Nature obeys us precisely as we first obey nature.” Therefore, we cannot obey nature unless we first learn nature’s laws. And if we don’t learn these laws, we will hurt ourselves badly.
