Please note, I am not talking here about sovereignty, the natural sovereignty of each individual living being, that Nature itself endows with freewill, incarnation, and consciousness.
No, here I am talking about Sovereignty with a capital "S", which is the singular and unique Sovereignty of a Nation wielded by a political or theological Officer, whether a King or a Caliphate, a Chief or a Speaker, elected or selected by inheritance.
If you imagine yourself at the center of an ever-expanding series of concentric circles, like the central disturbance hitting the surface of a quiet pond, then observing your own energy triggering a chain reaction through the medium of the water, the degree of Sovereignty and the circle it occupies is both larger and more diffuse.
It is an abstraction built on, but apart from, your own natural sovereignty.
At this level, the level of national Sovereignty and national Sovereigns, you enter the realm of representational authority.
Everything gets a bit strange because of the abstraction involved. "Love" in this realm becomes "Duty" and "Responsibility", not toward any specific individual, but toward all individuals equally owed your devotion, care, guidance, protection, and concern.
In order to expand your natural viewpoint and "size" to enter this very different conceptual framework, you must develop extraordinary boundaries at the same time you embrace a greater concept of self-discipline and purpose.
Life is no longer about you and your petty personal concerns. It's about your purpose, your role, and discharging that role with logic, competence, and some degree of honor. That's the way it is and the way it has always been. Anyone who has ever stood in such an office -- in this or any other lifetime -- knows this instantly, instinctively, and with no small degree of recoil.
God created sovereigns. He did not create Sovereigns. Sovereigns are created by happenstance, by traditions of men, by bloodline inheritance or even by voodoo. The natural sovereigns of this Earth are blessed, while the Sovereigns are cursed to stand in a grey area, struggling to exercise a group sovereignty that doesn't really exist.
Yet people clamor, always, to lay down the burdens of their own freewill and responsibility, always looking for someone to make their decisions, enforce their discipline, uphold their values, and provide for their needs.
Nearly anyone -- as American politics has proven -- will do, so long as it isn't them taking responsibility for their own destiny, facing all the challenges, and taking all the risks.
It's as if humankind were born in a condition of eternal childhood, or of wishing to return to childhood, and people still seek to cast off their worldly cares on an earthly Sovereign they can see and hear, and on occasion, blame.
Just like the Israelites complaining to the Prophet Samuel, asking him to appoint a King, like the Philistines and Amorites had, because, to their perception, the Living God was too distant and silent.
Apparently, it never occurred to them that they needed to learn how to hear God themselves, instead of depending on a prophet.
So people groan, they moan, and whether they seek a False Parent in an earthly King or simply slough the role off on a faceless, nameless corporation they call "the Government", the result is the same.
The Person or the Thing is obliged to step in and do their job for them, tell them what to do, organize a system that supports various functions, and spend all their days in ceaseless brutal service, like a Nanny with millions of children, all about age six.
All of human history records the dismal results. Nature's God simply laughs at us, until our bungling, whether evil or well-intentioned, brings us to the brink again. No matter what "the Government" does or tries to do, it's never enough, never good enough, never abundant enough, never equal and fair enough, never wise enough. And it always, always, always costs too much.
So now you know your Granna is an off-shoot of the ancient Roman Emperors, a Stoic lady, with an inherent, inborn, natural predilection for the philosophy of Stoicism, and that may be off-putting, because everyone prefers some other philosophy until push comes to shove.
How did Julius Caesar put it? Nobody loves the soldier until the enemy is at the gates?
Nobody likes a Stoic, either, until everyone else is overcome by panic and anxiety and overblown emotional responses based on faulty or incomplete reasoning.
The true beauty of Stoicism with respect to the issue of both natural sovereignty and what I shall view as "unnatural" Sovereignty, is that it provides a framework for logic to provide the basis for feeling, for observation to convey wisdom, and for patience to prevail.
In this present work, the Federation is calling all the States and the people responsible for the States to self-govern, and everyone applauds this idea with gusto, except that upon entry into the work, half of those embarked on this challenge revert to a role as scheming tyrants intent on protecting their own self-interest, and the other half largely retreats to the familiar turf of babyhood, standing around, expecting to be served, told what to do without asking for instruction, and complaining about their new-found freedom.
Anyone not a Stoic would have run screaming into the bushes at this point, so be pleased and grateful for my imperial and royal lineages and the time-in-grade spent over the course of entire lifetimes. I was born and bred for this time and place -- this Mess -- in the same way that a Dachshund is predisposed by Nature to hunt badgers.
In more than 5000 separate articles, I have provided a blow-by-blow, topic by topic compendium of issues and insights, a training guide and transparent report of the numerous and continuous battles we have been obliged to engage in as a necessary process of educating ourselves and the General Public. This has been done in addition to the actual work. This has been done in addition to guiding the assembling process, which is -- pure and simple -- extra work, from the standpoint of the Summoning Authority.
Take these and all the other resources I have offered over the years and use them like rakes and shovels to build your own understanding, your own assemblies, your own militias, your own committees, your own courts. Draw upon our customs and traditions as a republican government, not a militaristic "democracy".
Stand in your natural sovereignty until you learn to hear the Living God, and then, serve faithfully as your own Sovereign, too. This is not an easy path, and nobody said it would be; but, take heart. You are not alone. You are not starting from scratch.
Granna
