LAWS NECESSITATE, BECAUSE THEY ARE A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE INHERENT NATURE OF THINGS.
Every heartbeat is an effect of the one that preceded and a cause of the one to come.
THE WORLD WE FACE NOW is, in its sum, a direct effect of THE WORLD THAT WAS and a cause of THE WORLD THAT WILL BE.
The world that WE COME TO KNOW always follows the world that really IS. During the time it takes information to reach its recipient and become knowledge, its source continues to undergo changes. The distance between an event and its conscious receipt gives a measure of the discrepancy that must result.
By the time we come to know a certain reality, it no longer is what it was. The outside event that has produced its experience has ceased to be. It has been transformed in some measure. It has become something different, something new.
Thus it is only the awareness of the SELF that can be current! All empirical knowledge about a momentary state of the EXTERNAL WORLD is ever belated. Even though for every-day purposes the delay may be inconsequential, what we consider Reality is but an outdated perception.
Perception of THE SELF is the perception of NOW. Perception of NOW is a perception of that which we confront in the most direct and immediate way. NOW is just when the incoming sensory information impinges itself upon the Mind.
The outside world is always ahead of us, our perceptions are already obsolete as they reach us. We live in a world which is no more. Our PRESENT is really in the PAST; the FUTURE has already taken place, and is on its way to become our PRESENT. Our PRESENT is therefore always behind what is LATEST.
To compensate for this misalignment, Mind should only hold IMMUTABLE PRINCIPLES, and no specifics.
