RE: The 2 principles to live by AND to teach your children
is it not incredible that there are only 11 votes on this amazing post and no comments? Where is the lively discussion? I upvoted and resteemed - first though, I saw this post listed on the Great Work page on FB -
disheartening. I am a big fan of Mark Passio - have listened to all podcasts in order, and done a lot of research and try to live this way. I have been living by NL principles a long time, but as with everything else, I found from listening to MP that they had been infultrated with some solypsistic ideas that I needed to iradicate as a result of getting the clarity from Mark's research.
i have been on steemit for 2 years and it seems that initially there were a lot of people who were interested in learning and talking about Natural Law... but the thing about Natural Law is that it is a "long day in school" - it's not a "quick fix" - that you can just use to point out what others are doing wrong- cuz those 3 fingers are pointing back at you - right? We speak of intolerance while we are intolerant ourselves...
NL has to be lived, and demonstrated - and people need to be attracted to it by seeing others live this way. For example - this idea of using force when attacked - I had to spend some time on that - because I was indoctrinated - being female and a right-brained artist - I was a coward - so I had to listen to this over and over and apply it in my life and understand also the principle of non-authority - and unindoctrinate myself from the ideas that "elected" people can "re-present" me - so much had to be stripped away from me before I could really understand this stuff.
Once I started to come out of the fear, i realized that we have just been lying down and letting the cops run us ripshod - there seems to be no line that we have drawn in the sand where we say enough is enough - ie where I live in Denver, there is no "open-carry" - so the cops have total rule over everyone - we have come to live in a state of duress - it reminds me of the book "They Thought They Were Free" by Meyer - re the Nazi's -
Most people like to be slaves I guess. Remember - in the Old Testament when the Jews asked for a King - sad. It's still that way today.
I look forward to hear more from you!
