Interior law as permanent force is the residual capacity to remain under the higher law after every collective law of higher order has been dissolved. The residual man continues to live from that law even though the age offers no confirming code. The law itself remains intact. Only the collective codes that once made its force public have disappeared.
Young men who still feel the binding of a higher law often look for residual codes or residual authorities that will keep the law alive around them. Most of those authorities have already been emptied by the horizontal forces that dominate the age. The residual path does not wait for external code. It continues as the permanent force from the interior center that still holds the vertical measure.
This solitary law is the residual form of the older traditional knowledge of sacred obligation. The man who continues to live from it already performs the residual act. That act does not require collective codes to remain real.
Live from the law. Do not wait for the age to restore conditions in which higher law is collectively enforced. The residual act is to keep the permanent measure decisive in every concrete decision. That decisiveness is the continuity of the higher type under residual conditions.
