general law

(see Matrix Control System)

We are not aware of how much we are bound by the action of the General Law. Acting on us as it does on our cells, this law immobilizes or constantly tends to bring us back to our place. It’s strength leaves us little freedom of action outside the limits of its direction and scope…One can say that if man ‘lives live everyone else,’ if he does not venture off the beaten track, he will never perceive the existence of this force, or rather this force will ignore him. But if his enterprises are out of the ordinary, no matter what field they are in, but especially in esotericism, this force begins to act and stirs up all sorts of obstacles in order to bring him back to the point where – according to the General Law – he must reside.

[…]

Thus if this conservative force which is the servant of the General Law, does not succeed in “calming” man by acting directly upon him it tries to reach him indirectly through the people of his household, either through the feelings they evoke or the coolness and contempt they openly show him.

Anyone who wants to benefit from the Law of Exception must first achieve a victory over himself, over his own interior world, before he will be able to overcome the “World” and – by doing so escape from the General Law.

…The General Law…and the forces of life…are systematically hostile to anyone who persistently searches for the Truth.
