A human being’s rights can theoretically be somewhat different under Cosmic Law, Natural Law, and human law (encoded law that’s written down and enforced by governments, etc.). You can write down a lot of Natural Law, of course, but then it’s human legal code that maps accurately onto parts of Natural Law (and those laws feel good and safe to us collectively). Natural Law exists even in places where no law has yet been written down. It evolved as we humans started living in close proximity to one another and developed communities and then civilizations. In a sense, Natural Law centers around the question: What would communities consistently make sure to punish and seek to prevent in cases where they had no formal systems of law?
People repeat the cliché that life is not fair, which I suppose is most fundamentally a subjective reaction to the phenomenon of death, but laws must be fair, and Natural Law is fair.
Normally people feel Natural Law all the way down to muscle and bone. That’s the fundamental right versus wrong of things as well as the set of common sense principles that predict what can work well versus what cannot work well in terms of human choices. Encoded laws that violate Natural Law feel unfair, and they do not tend to sit well with people.
Natural Law was considered the domain of Roman goddess Ceres, and is intimately connected with the Hindu concept of Prakriti, but it’s been found everywhere any conscious thing ever interacted with any other conscious thing. It is essential. It’s what emerges naturally when people exist alongside one another, catalyzing, comparing, and clashing against boundaries together as and within a complex system.
Cosmic Law barely cares about how people feel compared to what they do and what they are causing to happen in the world and therefore in the wider Universe.
