I received this information in an email advertisement from PJ Media, so I thought I would post it as a blog entry so that I could link to it for everyone's benefit. Whether Muslim or non-Muslim, secular or religious, these principles are valuable for all.

If you were asked to surrender your will, would you? Probably not. But have you considered the countless times people do surrender their will every day? "No," you say, "I don't, and I never would!"
Well, think about how you surrender your will to the laws of nature. Do you argue with gravity, ignore friction, grab a live wire, lean to the left when turning right? People have learned to surrender to the natural laws they call laws of physics. But there is a natural law that virtually everybody on the planet has been ignoring.
In the past century, a natural law of behavior was identified by Richard W. Wetherill. In 1952 he presented it in the book, Tower of Babel. He called it the law of absolute right, and it specifies rational and honest thinking and behavior to replace choices based on people's likes and dislikes, judgments and beliefs.
Nature's law of absolute right states that only right action gets right results. As with all natural laws, if wrong results occur, the law was somehow contradicted, showing that this law is the final arbiter of what is right behavior.
What kinds of results are presently occurring? The news media report on terror attacks, uprisings and riots, natural disasters, and afflictions labeled "cause unknown."
At this point you might be wondering, who thinks that conforming to a natural law could stop all those wrong results?
The answer comes from persons who have surrendered their will to the law of right behavior. Enthusiastically they report right results when they respond rationally and honestly to whatever life delivers.
Clearly people's safety and security exist in trusting the laws of creation rather than the laws and beliefs of human origin. Natural laws require the action each law calls for to enable it to complete its intended, rightful purpose.
So to achieve success at whatever activity or task people engage in, they instinctively know they must obey nature's laws of physics.
Prior to the identification of natural laws, the ancients worshipped natural phenomena and/or idols. It required aeons until people identified the laws of nature, creating forces to safely guide their activities.
Think of natural laws as expressing the will of the creator, and thereby creation's plan of life for mankind. Rational and honest compliance is the surrender that enables people to resolve past mistakes, and provides them with a meaningful, productive future.
With the aid of scientific research over the years, people have learned that the functioning of natural laws controls their resulting right or wrong output when their input conforms to that specific law or instead is somehow noncompliant.
Examples with regard to laws of physics such as gravity, chemistry, and electricity probably come to mind.
Since the created laws of physics are autonomous and self-enforcing, people have learned to carefully conform to each law of physics to ensure their safety and well-being.
What only a comparatively few people have learned is that there is a little-known, overweening natural law that controls the right or wrong results that develop from our every thought and action.
In the past century, the late Richard W. Wetherill identified a natural law of behavior that he and now a group of his former students have been presenting to the public for several decades. But despite the fact that nearly 300,000 people worldwide have visited our Website as of October 2011, more people are needed that understand the law's basic message and will help by sending others to our website: alphapub.com.
Nature's behavioral law is also autonomous and self-enforcing as evidenced by people's failures to resolve their wrong results, destroying one civilization after another.
The use of every philosophical, scientific, practical, or religious approach of man did not nor could not resolve society's escalating problems and trouble. Today, levels of crime, corruption, mental disorders, and rebellious rioting continue spiraling upward in our growing population. What a depressing list of wrong results!
But, "be of good cheer, the solution is here." It is found in creation's natural law of absolute right mentioned above.
Could the entire human race have been consistently defying that natural law for eons? The brief answer is "yes." And that defiance is stopped only when people accord to nature's behavioral law, calling for their attitude and behavior to comply with creation's law of absolute right.
In order to survive, this civilization must conform to the creator's formula for life, calling for behavior that the law deems is rational and honest in what is thought, said, and done.
Prevalent blocks preventing people from conforming are their desires to get their way or to get notoriety and credit for what they believe are their efforts: money, careers, and prominent positions. All such prideful behavior is inappropriate when you consider that everybody's very existence is a gift of creation.
There needs to be a realization that in the end, people have been paying with their lives for their misbehavior regarding the law of absolute right.
That tells it like it is!
Whether anybody likes it or not, only rational, honest people are able to serve the purposes of creation's plan of life.
