Anarchy, no ruler; Monarchy, one ruler. When there is internal anarchy, when a being does rule the kingdom of the self, do not know thyself, no ruler ship over their internal kingdom. No understanding of the components of their consciousness and how they manifest the reality that they experience. They are not a sovereign. They are not monarchs of self. The one ruler of self, internally of yourself, the only thing you are allowed to be ruler of. There will be external monarchy, a force that wants to rule over that being as its one ruler, a monarch ruling over the anarchist being in internal state. The more of us in internal anarchy the closer we progress towards external monarchy. The more of us that become true monarchs of self internally, in that kingdom there is only one ruler: each individual. When that happens, each person is a sovereign ruler over their own consciousness, then there will result external anarchy. There will be no rulership over other individual beings. That is the great work, to make that process happen within the beings on this planet. Knowledge – Seeking Truth: The initial expression of love through Natural Law is seeking truth and the desire to know, which eventually manifests as knowledge and understanding of certain truths. Love is the force that expands consciousness and wants us to look at the truth contained in reality, what ‘is’, and allow us to expand our conscious awareness. Love is seeking truth. Love is truth. Ignorance – Refusing Truth: The opposite or negative initial expression of fear through natural law is the ignorance of not wanting to know and actively refusing knowledge and truth. Ignorance contracts conscious awareness. Ignorance is based in fear, knowledge is based in love. Ignorance prevents an understanding of Natural Law and the root causal factors of our condition. Freedom comes with knowledge of truth and ignorance leads to enslavement. Internal Expressions: There are essentially two states of rulership: a monarchy of one ruler or anarchy of no ruler. The internal expression of the expansive force of consciousness manifests as internal monarchy. This is known as sovereignty, self-control, self-dominion, self-mastery, self-governance, self-ownership, and self-rulership of one’s own thoughts, emotions and actions. The contractive force of consciousness manifests internally as anarchy. A person is in oppositional duality consciousness that does not rule themselves and is not sovereign because they are in confusion due to ignorance of the truth. Sovereign – Internal Monarchy From Latin super meaning ‘above’ or ‘over’; and regnum meaning ‘rule’ or control. A sovereign is being a ruler over no other but our own kingdom of self. Our thoughts, emotions and actions are in unison, harmony and non-duality. Our thoughts are in a state of intelligence. Our emotions are in a state of care. Our courage has given us the will to act in proper moral ways in the world. We become united, whole and one within ourselves so that we are not in internal contradiction, opposition, conflict, etc. A sovereign exists in degrees as well because it is difficult to become a being that is completely unified with truth and act in harmony with it and themselves. Society is currently constructed to ensure we are not fully capable of uniting with the truth and ourselves by having us agree to live in a certain way that is contrary to principles of truth in order for us to survive in this current modality of living. Confusion – Internal Anarchy Confusion is a state of being fractured and broken up internally as we are not in harmony and unison with ourselves. This condition is a result of not knowing and understanding what is going on inside of us because we have not looked at ourselves in full honesty and self-respect. We do not know our own psyche and consciousness and so we act and behave in contradiction to our thoughts and emotions which is an internal oppositional state of consciousness. Ignorance breeds confusion through a lack of acquisition of truths to bring greater clarity and understanding in one’s life. Acting against truth is the same as acting against ourselves because what is right, good and true is what is best for us; our freedom, prosperity, peace and everything good. We are in opposition with our own self. Internal disorder creates external disorder. The internal is reflected onto the external through the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence. The state of internal anarchy is someone not ruling themselves and their own house; a condition of internal confusion, opposition, contradiction, adversity, non-accordance, inconsistent, incoherent, incongruent, nonintegrated, disunited, disharmony, and duality. The less we are in a capacity to rule ourselves (lack of knowledge, internal opposition) through attainment of truth to bring us the clarity and understanding to make right-action decisions and choices, the more easily we can be manipulated from without into taking wrong-action and choices. External Expressions The external expressions of love and fear through Natural Law manifest as freedom and control in our lives. Freedom – External Anarchy Freedom is external anarchy where no one is a ruler of anyone else; there are neither masters nor slaves. Everyone has equal rights and expresses their consciousness by living in harmony with Natural Law principles of truth. No one accepts the false beliefs of ownership over another living being. There is no delusion of thinking one has the right to control the actions of others who are not violating the Natural Law rights of another living being such as is currently manifested through the institutions of police, military and government. Those who work for and support these institutions are violating Natural Law every day. Control – External Monarchy Control is based in the force of fear that results from a contraction or limitation of consciousness. Consciousness is prevented from expanding through the force of love when people choose to be willfully ignorant and refuse the truth. This creates a state of internal anarchy and confusion leading to a desire to exercise external control over others. As more people accept a fear-based consciousness and desire control, this centralizes power and external monarchy manifests. We are heading into this one world government of one external monarchic force ruling everybody. ANARCHISM The word anarchism has tremendous implications. It means that the people are so inwardly disciplined that they don’t need any government. They are so deeply in order within themselves that no order outside is needed. Anarchism is basically the transformation of the individual in such a way that the government becomes superfluous. He lives in the light of his consciousness, fully aware of what he is doing, fully aware of its consequences, aware that it is not his right to interfere with any individual’s life, or to trespass – even in very subtle matters like conversion. Making an effort to convert somebody to your ideology is a trespass of that individual’s consciousness. Unless he invites you, it is aggression. So individuals have to be so conscious that no aggressive activity on any level – bodily, mental, emotional – is possible for them. Then the government is absolutely useless, a burden. And certainly the idea is that, if people can live without a government, then only are they people. If they need a government that means they are still coming out of animality. They have not yet become human. They need masters, governors, they are not capable of being on their own. They are basically asking to be slaves. The existence of a government of any kind means that the people are asking for slavery; and to ask for slavery and then to ask for democracy, freedom, freedom of expression, and individuality, becomes contradictory. So the governments go on promising all these things but in the very existence of the government they are denied. Hence all governments are frauds. They can only promise but they cannot perform. It is existentially impossible. If they can perform then they are not needed. If they cannot perform that is why they are needed. So every government is more or less symbolic of the fact that human beings have not grown up to their full height, to their full potential. “And it is this fact that enables the Hermetist to transmute one mental state into another, along the lines of Polarization. Things belonging to different classes cannot be transmuted into each other, but things of the same class may be changed, that is, may have their polarity changed. […] And it will also be noticed that even to those unfamiliar with the Principle of Vibration, the Positive pole seems to be of a higher degree than the Negative, and readily dominates it. The tendency of Nature is in the direction of the dominant activity of the Positive pole.” – The Kybalion Right = Correct = True = Moral = Natural Law = No harm done = Good Wrong = Incorrect = False = Immoral = not Natural Law = Harm done = Evil
