Colonializations, Ethnicity, Racial Injustice, Religious Extremism, Social Coercion, Economic Manipulation and Sabotage, Reprobate Orientations and Tyranny: these and much more are a direct and indirect result of hidden insecurities, distorted thinking, perversion and sinister motives rooted in an innate desire to exhibit some form of authority over people, systems and nations globally… and they’re visible in every tribe, race, clan, religion, continent and institution.
Nature speaks in clear terms about the principal and contextual nature of authority inherent in the very fabric of both the abstract and material creation/universe, this is depicted in the nature of the ethereal realm, but especially visible in the earth realm; isn’t it rather ironic that the sciences, with all of its discovery, elaborated in the various innovations in the spheres and systems of human endeavor, has gone contrary to divine order to the extent of creating humanoids or super humans? One could only imagine how much more mankind will get out of order into self-destruction.
The principle of order is expressed in the nature and righteous interpretation of authority. The glory of creation finds optimum expression when its exterior expression aligns with its inner authority, hence the principle of order which gives balance to structure. This is the principle that upholds the structure of the materially expressed ecosystems of life, it is the administration behind the engineering of the interdependent nature of people and things, which advertently reveals the nature of the Authority who authorized creation to function that way.
As a result of the various factors stated in the first paragraph above, several centuries have been plagued with billions of humans averse to the concept and principle of authority. Its expression, hounded by transgenerational misconception and cultural misrepresentation, has entrenched deep within the souls of succeeding generations a default nature of rebellion against authority. Further chaos is established when people think they can function outside of constituted authority, whether from the spiritual or the civil dimension, and escape the consequences; hence living in self-deceit and striving to generate sanity out of insanity.
Understanding the nature and concept of authority is the foundation for rebuilding a dilapidated society, institution, organization, or nation. However, authority must first of all be understood from the context of inherent authority and then the interdependent nature of its expression whether in the class of mankind or the lower classes of the physical creation. This then becomes the responsibility of leadership, at all levels beginning from the family unit. Furthermore, it must be interpreted contextually and within proper context, to ease understanding and ensure a proper foundation of internal security within the individual is laid, so that men could aspire toward greatness again, but this time with the ability to weigh and discern the nature of the source(s) from which they derive inspiration, in order not to corrupt their inherent authority so that their potentials do not become conduits for obscenities and destructive conjugations.
We all have a role to play in ensuring that we fulfill our individual and collective purposes, the Creator made it so. However, in this era of multiplied knowledge across the entire spectrum of human aspirations, it is pertinent that we realize that “knowledge that is esteemed based on its ability to gratify our sensual appetites only, corrupts our inherent authority: rather, knowledge must be weighed by its value-enhancing ability, in order for an individual to maximize its purpose, contextually”. A consciousness of the need to preserve our inherent authority, trains our inner faculties to sustain upright motives; and the desire to retain pure motives, is proven by the quality of knowledge we are willing to imbibe or discard.
