Course XI - Teaching 2: This is the Regulation

The soul transformation is immediate by contacting the Great Current: from human being to divine being, and as a man is bound to fulfill natural laws and rules, so a divine being, as soon as he becomes such, is subject to spiritual laws and rules.
So, the Cafh’s Regulation does not contain compulsory laws and rules as a whole but certain spontaneous and spiritual way of life addressed to the Sons. That is why the Regulation begins with these words, “This is the Regulation of Cafh”. This Regulation does not say this writing, these rules or these laws, but simply says, “This one”, since this Regulation is motive power engraved on the hearts of the Sons.
The way as a Son expresses this law in his life is the written rule following the first paragraph of the Regulation.
It is the voice of the Divine Mother whispering to the ears and hearts of the Sons, as if She had condensed in Her Teaching all values of sacred codes and mystical ways, as Her formula of the Mother Idea and expression of the eventual synthesis of rules and way of living addressed to the Sons of Cafh: Unique Law.
This living voice of the Divine Mother comes along with the spiritual vocation of every Son, and each Son engraves the Regulation on his heart. That is why Saint Paul says to his followers, “You are the letter of Christ”.
But natural human laws and human reason fight continuously against the spiritual being, so the latter runs the risk of forgetting the voice and Divine Teaching. So, this divine law had to remain engraved on the heart of the Son, and also transmitted by writing as a token of memory and confirmation.
Otherwise, the Regulation of Cafh might also be a hard human law to stand, and disconnected from the will of man.
All laws, even the heaviest ones, make sense when they are expressed and adapted to circumstances of the time. But these laws become a yoke and cruel chains as a result of changes and circumstances, and men have always striven and made efforts to breaking these chains and acquiring their pristine freedom. The Sons shall get rid of this experience if they do not humanize those divine rules received; if they do not make of the Regulation something detached from them; if they ever live and express this Regulation in their lives, as a spontaneous habit, as a mode of their intimate being, as a radiation of the Divine Law abiding in their souls. Although apparently this law is hard to fulfill, it should never be taken as a compulsory effort, –it must be a spiritual technique, an ascetic and unique discipline in order to achieve certain purpose.
Necessarily any time a rational dream moves the Son back to the world of the shadows the voice of the Regulation should resound and guide him by the good path.
Necessarily, when human weakness tends to lull the divine law in the Son’s soul, the written Regulation should awaken his memory. Also all those things written on the soul may experience times of darkness and oblivion; then, it is this written law that will cause chosen souls to re-emerge, by awakening them again to hear the Divine Voice.
Then, the first words are fundamental, “This one is”. In essence that are an expression of the Cafh’s Regulation of Cafh and of the Idea Mother. They mark the source of the First Revelation. They are a stamp of the souls. They are incentive of life and premonition of sure spiritual success.
These words tell the Son: as to him this writing has to disappear since shall be permanently written on his soul.
The Regulation shall manifest itself and live in the Son by a gift of grace acquired by mystical effort of Divine Law made reality; Regulation and Son shall be one and the same thing.
