RE: Healing despite a life time of authority induced traumatic stress
I agree with you. In fact, it is the duty and responsibility of the citizen to hold the authority accountable. The citizen is the checks and balance with authority. If the citizen does NOT do their duty, then authority will run rampant. We are not actually supposed to submit to authority, but challenge it, confront it and hold it accountable at all times. People think that is what the three branches of government are for, but there is a four branch that never seems to be discussed an that is the people! But we have been remiss in our duties.
It does not help that we have developed such a fear of the authorities due to the abusive way they often treat people. Often those that do challenge them are beaten down, not only by the authorities, but those around them. You also have to be confident in knowing where you stand, because they will make rules up knowing full well most don't know enough to argue it and because they change the rules at whim anyway, you can't keep up with it.
I agree. That is why I took the stand that I did. I had the skills to be able to stand up and know when they lie. I felt it was my duty to do so because their game is so complex. I know that a lot of people just cannot do what I did. So I stood up for them. I share for them. I teach this stuff so that we can all find freedom as we all have a piece to the puzzle.
