I keep thinking about the Bob Dylan lyric “but to live outside the law, you must be honest”

Does it imply that the intervention of the law makes people dishonest, as everyone is trying to lie and cheat for their own gain?

Or is it about honesty in a state of nature, where the absence of any central authority makes everyone more vulnerable and willing to collaborate to survive?

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night 😅

If privacy is outlawed only outlaws have privacy. Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom > choice > economic and spiritual prosperity. Honesty means an easy life. Web of lies, laws for laws. The entanglement in karmatic relationships that bind us to the material plane is what makes life hard.

Laws make only sense where consciousness is low. It's a heavy toll on human development after a certain stage of evolution that we need to free ourselves from. It's a passage or initiation ritual.
