No Man Should Lord Over Another
I got no trust in anything that supports hierarchy amongst men when it means to control how everyone is supposed to live in according to Man's made up laws. Not in any institutions as it will inevitably be evident to eventually turn against its members. But it is mostly visible to those who are not in them.
However, a few black sheep manages to evade the sheepdogs and the wolves outside their fences and morph into Shepards of the sheep they had to leave behind beforehand. Not physically leave them but leave their shared beliefs that causes them to be submissive to a ruling class that is only interested in using them as batteries to the same system that protects them from being free.
From an early age I came into being within strict Catholic upbringings and customs. The tyrants of my age that bullied me everyday in school and attended church are the same types that most likely join the "professions" that condones the same behavior payed by extortion fees. It's just business. Nothing personal. It's only the people's stick whipping your back for all that you have to serve controller's will.
It was through the wise written in the bible that the deceptive interpretations made by the religious institutions that gave me the sight to see through the veils of control. For you see, like what you resist persists, they who persist to control give birth to those who will disobey.
One showed me through scripture and the other was the live example hidden in plain sight. One using the other. Of course one needs to be open minded enough to perceive what is hidden from them and it is no easy way.
A wise book composed of many wise books, carefully selected and interpreted that "coincidentally" also served to give the illusion of justification for having a master and slave class.
I got no trust in government authority always lying and deceiving raping and raiding our world wide neighborhoods and consciousness. But they are also just a proud useful tool to the hidden evil hands that works to keep them and us all sick and obedient for a currentsea that is only burying us all under the weight of the oceans tears.
Obviously my recognizing of these systems didn't form overnight. Many events and experiences and along with questioning my relationship to these, gave birth to further understanding of what sovereignty actually means for Man.
So what is sovereignty?
If you read selectively and ignore the parts that contradict it, you can even find within the current Abrahamic religious bibles, speak about sovereignty in a way that supports the no rulers over Man argument.
In the first book of Samuel chapter 8, verses 10 through 18, Samuel warns that kings WILL take your sons, daughters, land, and wealth. Basically a direct critique of centralized authority, and reads like a prediction of taxation, conscription, and state control.
In Luke 22:25–26 it reads
“The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship… but you shall not be so.”
A clear rejection of hierarchical domination among people.
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free…” -Galatians 5:1
Emphasizes personal freedom over bondage and can be interpreted as spiritual and social.
And lastly but not least of all, Matthew 23:8–10:
“Do not be called Rabbi… do not call anyone on earth your father… nor be called instructors…”
This is completely undermining titles of authority structures among men.
The Bible however is not purely anti-authority. As there are many verses that are contradict and proclaim to the masses to be obedient to a ruling class.
To name only one off the top of my head I can think of no better example than the book of Romans 13:1–2,
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers…” given the context after it, it points to submission to government systems rather than to God. In some parts it even goes as far as to claim that their authority to rule comes from God which is an outward lie. The very type of thing to say such a thing can only come from someone who wants control over others. It's important to never take the bible seriously word for word for it is pack filled with parables and other hidden coded messages. A skeptical mind is required.
As you can see we have two very contradictory sides. One is anti-domination and the other demands order and submission. I don't know about you but I for one am far more inclined to not being ruled over by mere Men who were born into existence the same way as any other Man on Earth.
No man should “lord over” another. Yet even today we have a vast majority amount of people that proclaim the world needs to be under rulers based purely on faith alone to be legitimate, if they call themselves govern|ment.
The Bible rejects illegitimate human domination morally, but acknowledges its existence pragmatically. Meaning, just because it's wrong and unjustified, doesn't mean "they" won't be existing and attempting to reap your hard earned fruits from the labor you have sowed upon the earth. In other words it describes "authority" as both corrupt and temporarily tolerated. Yet it is this tolerance that must be kept in check, by every individual, in a matter of understanding and faith in themselves and with God within us all, or else we get more tyranny if we don't for our tolerance levels measures the amount of tyranny we all get as a whole.
So the question dear reader lies within you all, what are we to do today to lower our tolerance against control systems? Or more precisely, what are you still tolerating that you know you shouldn’t?
