Natural Law has more to do with eucatastrophe and hope than existential dread and denial. There are non-physical beings who interact with physical beings, and life doesn't end upon death, it is only the termination of your physical body. In nature, there are beings who humans have mistakingly referred to as being gods and spirits, but these words are bad, and there is rarely anything holy about these beings.

You can experience much of reality if you are willing to go through the necessary steps. Those steps must be in accordance with Natural Law, or else you won't really get anywhere. That's why most of our religions and sciences fail us so often with these big questions, and why most folks who really want to know something reach out to conspiracies and foreign belief systems.

Mark Passio does a good job explaining a lot of things, but he is a really angry guy and he also clearly puts a lot of importance on whatever he learned whilst a member of the Church of Satan even though he now speaks against the Church. Good reference, a friend of mine was introduced to the whole idea of Natural Law through Mark.

eucatastrophe

Great word! TIL. My /s/BittersweetSeeds story doesn't shy away from a bad ending for the protagonist/martyr with a sort of happy ending with at least a questionable future for humanity (bittersweet).

Natural Law has more to do with eucatastrophe and hope than existential dread and denial.

I don't see it having to do with any of that. I just see it as a existential fact that we must cooperate as members of humanity and Natural Law is the fundamental foundations of coexisting. You simply cannot walk down the street if you fear getting stabbed in the neck, scammed, or lied to.

Further you don't need an authority in the sky or on Earth to tell you what you fundamentally know is true - unless you've been brainwashed with dogma to believe so.

10,000%. Perfect summary. Saved.

Bittersweet is a good way to describe true eucatastrophe anyways. What's funny is that every keyboard and computer I've had tries to tell me eucatastrophe isn't a word. Fuck em.

I agree concerning the authority bit. You are your own authority, and a society should be set up with that in mind. It's what actually happens in life anyways, people will take advantage of others who have no self-authority, and those who have some will simply live their lives as they see fit. I don't see why a society can't set itself up with that in mind.

It would make dealing with actually fucked up criminals a lot easier.
