Work understanding of laws is sophisticated

One area I think the Work teaching is even more sophisticated (and true at that) than even the most sophisticated Reformed Theology is in the teaching on the different orders of laws and how they relate, relatively, to level of being.

In theology the subject is touched on regarding things like God's sovereignty and man's responsibility; chance vs. God's sovereignty; determinism vs. man's responsibility and the effectiveness of things like prayer...and so on.

These are obviously puzzling things when seen from the perspective of assuming a standard uni-level of being for all people.

But when you know that laws change once a person increases level of being (or even just increases their current level of consciousness, from waking sleep to the third state of self-consciousness for instance) the puzzling nature of all the above can be seen more clearly, if not exactly. Seeing how accident is not the same for everybody, for instance. At least you can see how there are more things to factor in that creates possibility that are still within the realm of God being sovereign and His decree controlling all that comes to pass.

This is adding relativity and scale to the mix, and in this subject I really think the Work teaching transcends what the theologians are able to understand. - C.
