JANU: Railing against authority seems to be a theme throughout much of the community, festering for some time and festering still. The position of and consciousness of authority in society needs to evolve as well from one of ‘control over’ to encouragement and support of the personal ownership of inner authority. The peace we speak of so often does not speak of being controlled, but being in control and in harmony with your own existence and the life that you are. Once again, responding to life is a more successful relationship than reacting to it.
Authority would do well to reexamine its role in society, and the results of it. The individual would do well to reexamine the choices they make and the results. Humanity would do well to reexamine the peace it achieves through the violence of wars.
Simply put, our brother, measure your philosophies, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, relationships, conduct, statements, diet, conditions of the body by the results of your choices, the results of these. Life is constantly giving you feedback on how you’re doing. We are not suggesting perfection here, but a way to observe your evolution in life, your progress, your contributions and benefits. Having a constant dialogue with life in this way is empowering. Namaste.
