The Hidden Law Written by Tom Horn Continued from page 1 Another classic example of a living trend is one that is described in New Testament Gospels and which gripped life of Jesus. He, unlike ordinary person, appeared to be fully aware of 'power' in which he was caught up and did nothing to save himself from negative surprise to come. To possess a mind programmed with half truth makes you available to living trends without your being aware of it. Your days at school furnished you with imperfect knowledge of how world of everyday life functions and you naturally became a sitting duck for passing living trends. These living trends are ‘powers’, ‘forces’ or vortexes of disembodied ‘intent’. Science knows nothing of them and yet they most definitely operate a blind conspiracy against whole human race, causing individuals and nations to fall from grace. Living trends are just waiting for us to stray across inner thresholds within ourselves. A threshold is crossed when we stray: from ‘preference’ into ‘desire’; from ‘love’ into ‘lust’; from ‘caution’ into ‘fear’; from ‘courage’ into ‘recklessness’; from ‘gentleness’ into ‘weakness’; from ‘freedom’ into ‘anarchy’; from ‘thrift’ into ‘greed’; from ‘respect’ into ‘servility’; from ‘ambition’ into ‘ruthlessness’; from ‘friendship’ into ‘infatuation’; from ‘confidence’ into ‘ego mania’ etc. We don’t choose to cross these invisible lines. Instead, we have diminished responsibility because we do not understand threat posed by living trends. There are limits to all development and as soon as we cross a given threshold we expose ourselves to being drafted by a living trend into a madcap excursion whose destination is a negative surprise. Individuals, nations and species have been driven to extinction because they did not understand this one thing. There is however a single hope and that is putting into practice of an unwritten law that hides behind visible appearance of world. That law says 'Tap world lightly’. It is a hidden law that I personally would like to write across sky in great big letters: ‘DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS JUST ENOUGH’. Here endeth lesson.

The whole trend towards increasingly complex pattern and structure is said to have occurred through mechanisms of ‘the survival of fittest’ and ‘cumulative natural selection’. Let’s join evolutionary chain at some arbitrary point. A gene within an animal suddenly mutates. It is a chance event that may have changed an ear or an eye or a leg. The change may have improved chances of survival for that animal. This being case, genetic mutation would be passed on to offspring and they too would be better equipped to survive. Those without genetic modification would tend to become extinct. Further chance genetic mutations may occur and those that furthered survival advantages would be added to those that had gone before. So here we are today with a complex bodily structure attributable to sum of uncountable chance mutations within our ancestors. Without these random mutations, I would still be a blob of protoplasm, possibly dreaming of a future time when I could write computer articles. So evolutionary theory makes our existence all very explainable – provided you sweep ‘time’ under carpet. If you could liken history of everything to one hour, then living things have been in existence for some seconds only. Would there have been enough time for random genetic mutations to add up from protoplasmic formlessness to our complex bodies? Well, I’ve heard it said that a sober monkey tapping randomly at a typewriter would eventually produce complete works of Shakespeare, provided bits of matching type were added to previous bits. However, we know that whole process would take longer than age of universe. Since we are more complex than works of Shakespeare, I think we can safely say that there would not have been enough time for evolutionary theory to be sole explanation for complex living structures. We are left with unavoidable conclusion that parts of world of everyday life are unexplainable, unknowable. The fact of trees, frogs and people is surprising and will remain so.
