In this post, we put forth our understanding of how the two interpretations of reality can lead to two types of laws.
We have discussed in a previous post, how perceived reality can be interpreted as a cognitive bias. In this post, we propose that the two interpretations lead to two separate types of laws: internal and external law.
If perceived reality is not interpreted as a cognitive bias, the individual would be represented by their physical manifestation, i.e., by the body. This leads to external law because, with this interpretation, we would need an external (to the body) entity to make and enforce the laws. This is the common type of law we see around us, with police, courts, and books of law.
The second type of law is internal law. This is the law when the whole world is perceived only with the mind, without any inputs from the senses. This typically manifests as the individual not being comfortable with themselves because they have either caused injustice or have been unjustly treated, according to the internal law. Since this interpretation of reality leads to Nirvana as the goal of human existence, internal law typically manifests as ideas like karma, doing penances, etc.
