Justice

Justice is a quality that relates to actions and attitudes that are right or lawful. When applied to personal relationships, what is considered just relates to having one’s own rights respected and honoured. It also implies being right or correct. So if someone does something that we feel is disrespectful of us or does not conform to what we see as the right thing to do, we can easily feel offended or upset. We can feel that our rights or stature has been assaulted in some way.

Legal justice is the application of human laws that are enacted in a society to help keep human relationships functioning on an equitable level. The creating of civil and criminal laws attempts to enforce ethical behaviour and respect for others’ lives and property. However, the legal systems in the modern world are often inadequate in administering true justice because of the existence of many legal loopholes that block the spirit of the law.

True justice is based on universal laws that are inherent in our nature – our soul nature. In a deeper sense what is truly unjust is what contradicts universal law. This level of justice involves true equity where all individuals are valued and seen as having a purpose for the good of the whole. A just society is one in which everyone’s rights are respected and a person’s potentials for contribution are empowered.

Universal laws always are intelligent, loving and empowering because they exist at a soul level within ourselves and within life. Therefore when something is done that contradicts intelligence, love and empowerment, it feels wrong. It is experienced as a violation of the integrity and even sacredness of someone’s life. Law is what keeps order. Universal law is what keeps universal order, which implies that everyone and everything has a place and purpose, as well as a contribution to make. When someone is out of order they not only do not make a valued contribution, but also interfere in the order of other people’s lives. This feels unjust, something that just should not be.

When we experience what we consider to be unjust we have a responsibility to address the situation appropriately. This means connecting with soul rather than reacting from a feeling of offence in which we act either defensively or with condemnation.
