The LAW OF NATURE Dictated by God Himself is Superior to any other. It is BINDING OVER ALL THE GLOBE, in ALL Countries and at ALL TIMES. No Human Laws are of any validity if contrary to this, and such of them as are valid derive all the Force and all the Authority mediately and immediately from this original.
Upon these Two FOUNDATIONS- The Law of NATURE and the Law of REVELATION depend all Human Laws. Human Laws are only Declaratory of and act in subordination to

DIVINE LAW.

William Blackstone-1723-1780

Ultimate Destinations and Ultimate Objectives

That Life is a journey and/or a quest is a preponderance to which many adhere. A journey has a destination. A quest has a final objective which is hoped to be achieved.

To them the reward of what lies in this Beyond outweighs and is of greater value than anything they might have deprived themselves of, according to the aforementioned beliefs and practices, during this lifetime. Such a ones Life is undertaken as a journey which is ruled and governed by precepts which if adhered to will take one to the Ultimate Destination of whatever one believes lies beyond this Life. It is, as it were, a journey undertaken with a well-plotted map in hand which is not to say that the course which is set upon this map is easy to follow or without difficulty, for the whims and vagaries of Life seldom make it such, but still it does set ones course in a particular direction. It is a quest, the objective
