                                  %RELEASE FROM LAW 861129

     Many people have become enslaved to a legalistic  way
of life.  Behavior is conformed to laws, rules, etiquette,
propriety,   ethics,   morality,   tradition  and  policy.
Enforcement  of such laws is via estrangement of those who
do  not  conform.    In  one  way  or  another  they   are
excommunicated.  Sin,  as the condition of separation,  is
imposed as the  punishment for non-conformity. Instinctive
rebellion  against such a sinful response is to reject the
life  style  of  the  conformists.    It  is  seen  to  be
essentially    sinful    to    reject    people    through
excommunication.

     The release from the sinful life style is not through
analysis.   Logic and reason can at  best expose their own
inadequacy  to release people from a compulsive dedication
to logical laws and a reasonable rules.   Logic and reason
can not grant release from reasonable laws.

     Only  live  people can grant release from  reasonable
laws---via their unconditional acceptance of the prisoners
of conformity.   Arguments,  analysis, rituals,  learning,
and research---these  are not keys which unlock the prison
of law.  Truth is not the key by itself.   Only with  Love
can the lock be opened and the prisoners  set free if they
want to be free.
