Laws of man, nature, and religion

Philosophers have rightly said that the laws of nature supersede all human laws. Evolution is the primary law of nature, yet even evolution is superseded by the Spirit-Within nature (although the Spirit is essentially also a law of nature.) The Spirit is the Will to Godhood which helps activate nature. This is why the laws of man must try to harmonize with the laws of evolution, and with the activation of the Spirit within nature, which seeks to evolve to Godhood in the Kosmos.

Which human laws best reflect the laws of nature? I think the United States Constitution comes close. Here we have the sanctity of local-rule, the few and specific duties of the federal government, and the many and vague duties of the states. Here evolution can flourish. But we have largely rescinded most of the laws which declared independence from state-controlled thinking. These laws need to be un-rescinded so that we may continue to evolve with variety and freedom.

We can only accommodate the changing demographics of the nation and the world if we hold fast to the rights and independence of the states and of local rule. Otherwise the always changing demographics may vote the laws and the Constitution out of existence, and the freedom to evolve will be lost.
