A Personal State Of Sovereignty

Life is so amazing and beautiful. Fundamentally, and even all that I may not understand or even be able to put a finger on, literally, the essence of all that I know and all that I don’t know is to such a degree of beauty as to be mind blowing – in a gloriously awesome way. No one really likes to hurt, and I am no exception – even so, I wouldn’t change a thing about any aspect of my experiences to date. Most people live in the hope that life will get better, and again, I am no exception, and yet, I know that all the low down dirty and painful aspects of having lived to date, are what has in large part molded me into this being that I am now.

I have always felt out of place holding such a respect and reverence about existence. For as many reasons as there are people, people from all walks and manner of life don’t seem capable of sustaining a lasting knowing of pure love and reverence for existence. Oh, I feel that most people probably hold a joy in them about happiness in the moment, from time to time throughout their lives, and gratitude for certain things in their life, but the kind of deep down sustainable feeling of gratitude of and for life, I don’t think so.

I’m the sort of person who has no need to project my ideals and feelings onto others, and neither am I someone who needs others so to know how I feel about a specific thing. Long ago I learned to exist as a sovereign being, and thank goodness for that! It’s easy to live and let live when sovereign. Even that, I do not project onto others, for I know that this world is full of those who have not taken responsibility as a sovereign being, and would project their ideals and notions onto me. Recorded history is full of stories of just such a thing.

Sometimes it’s not enough to live and let live, because there are others who, for their own reasons, cannot allow that. Part of being a sovereign being is to protect that sovereignty, against domestic and foreign invaders. Much like one would do when taking an oath as President of the United States.

If you and I met as strangers in passing on the street or in a store, or perhaps on the job or by way of some other activity in life, I’m the sort of person who will automatically look you in the eye, smile, nod or acknowledge you in some way. Most likely, if you wear a name tag, I will look at it and greet you by your name. If our meeting is something more then a passing pleasantry, I am someone who will either shake your hand and sincerely wish for you a great rest of your moments in the day remaining for you. By default, all walks and manner of people are given the same from me. The majority of people I cross paths with in life do not actually acknowledge my presence, and again, I hold no judgment over them for that. Who I am at any given moment is my default mode, no matter who you might be. Now, if you and I cross paths and spend any time acknowledging each other’s presence, then that will become it’s own thing according to the mingling of our presences together. Once I became an aware and sovereign being in my own heart and mind, for the most part there was a noticeable difference in the way in which others presented themselves to me when we crossed paths. Yet, of course there has always been exceptions, and it is those exceptions in life that have taught me to protect my own sovereignty. Threats to my personal sovereignty, however rare, have ALWAYS come from those who were threatened by my inner stability, strength and freedom of self. Threatened by me, NOT because I was an actual threat to them, but by the idea of me. What frightens weak, bad people most, is a strong mind and a good heart. For a bad person who is also weak, any strong minded individual who has a good heart can be a target. A weak person who is not a bad person, will attack when they are afraid. But a bad person who is weak, will plan their attack, using a person’s own good heart against them.

The kind of bad person I speak of here is actually few and far between. As I said before, most people fall in between good and bad. But, just as there are good people in the world, there are also bad people. Bad people will come at you from behind, in the dark of night, while you aren’t paying attention and worse – when you are down, and they will use your good heart against you, to hurt you. Most bad people are weak people, and speaking only for myself, this weakness can be forgiven – and indeed, for my own peace of mind – must be forgiven. For me, part of protecting my own sovereignty is to make sure the experience I am left with, is one with no nasty residual energy of hate or intolerance. Theirs or mine. In the long run, after I have been attacked in some way by a bad and weak individual, I must ultimately love that bad person in my heart for the lesson of personal growth that I was given. In the long run, being able to love what has hurt me helps me to fulfill my love for myself and others and be a better part of the world I live in. That does not mean that bad and weak person will ever have access to my heart again, but by forgiving and then loving that person for helping me become a better person via an attack on me personally by their bad and weak self, keeps me alive and true in the world. What must never be allowed, is a fixed tainting of a person’s strong mind and good heart, by a person who is bad and weak. While allowing a taint such as that to become a part of a person is certainly understandable, for me personal, such a thing can never be allowed. No person who is bad or weak shall ever have dominion in me. Though I am grateful for the lessons, just as grateful to rise beyond the lessons, only God has dominion over and in and through me.

I am a sovereign child of God on this earth, who, while being strong of mind, good of heart and understanding of the ways of man and God, NO ONE, BE HE/SHE/IT, GOOD AND/OR BAD, STRONG AND/OR WEAK, SHALL HAVE DOMINION OF MY SPIRIT OR SOUL OR BODY. There is no past, present or future conditions, states of existence that are foreign or domestic, at home or abroad, within or without which shall dictate my presence as a child of God. For ALL invaders, as mentioned in the previous sentence, from this moment onward, there can be no quarter given for a willful attempt to dictate my presence as a child of God. I will not tolerate such attempts and you will be dealt with swiftly, according to your deeds against my sovereign state as a child of God. My love and duty to my presence as a child of my Father, God, is supreme and eternal, so best you keep that in mind when crossing paths with me and keep your bad and weak self at distance, for I shall not have mercy on you.
