Hello and Good morning!
It’s already been a busy morning and I’m just now getting to the 12 Ethics Email Challenge!
Self-Authority… As we dive deep into this 2nd Ethic, we’re going to be toggling between Courage (1st Ethic) and Self-Regulation (3rd Ethic) and Trust.
Self-Authority is 100% linked to Power, Control, and Personal Choice. Control is a hot topic for a lot of people because what they associate as “Control” is really Non Consensual Enslavement. True Control is Self-Discipline to the point of being able to “steer” or “direct” the Consequences of Their Choices. An Ethical Individual, will use Self-Discipline and Self-Control to “steer” the consequences away from people so as to not harm them.
The more you learn about Self-Control (4th Ethic), the more you realize how much Abusive “Control” is really Enslavement and Forced Submission. NOT the same thing at all.
Control comes from the Mastered Life Skill of Conscious Choice with the Foresight of Chain Reaction Science. “If I do X, then Y will happen.” Does “Y” harm others? Is there a way to do “X” without it causing “Y,” which does harm others? What if “Z” could occur instead so as to not harm others? All of this is what we access when we dissect Control and Self-Authority.
Discipline, a word that means “The Study and Mastery of a Skill” was adopted by abusers who use Physical Abuse/Violence to “teach” a lesson. Many people grow up associating Violence and Abuse with “Discipline.” The Academic Definition has been lost and forgotten by many.
Power + Choice +> Self-Authority +> Control +> Confidence +> Self-Esteem +> Proof of Concept +> Pride… Which leads to More Power and Choice.
Self-Authority is lost when Choice is prevented. NOT taken away from us. Prevented.
The Prevention or Obstacle of our Self-Authority leads many of us feeling like we have lost Control. What results from this is an endless “Pursuit of Control” to prove to ourselves that we in fact can “regain” control. But this is the Abuser’s Delusion (We talk on that a lot in The Healing Garden). The Abuser’s Delusion is to make us THINK we have lost something, which we, in fact, never lost. So we seek something we already have instead of using it. Our Mindset has been taught through abuse to focus on Pursuit of Lost Control instead of the Practice of Control.
As a result people project their Pursuit of Control through the “need to control” others. We grow up, have children, and that Pursuit of Lost Control gets projected on our Children. The Pursuit of Possessing Control is “Possession.” Our Children, in turn, grow up with the feeling that they never had control. … And the cycle continues.
Now we live in a world where we are raised in “Possession” forever Pursuing Lost Control through the Possessing of Control instead of Love.
There are two sides to this coin: The Adult-Child who never had or who “lost” the Control, and the Parent Adult-Child who projects their Pursuit of Lost Control onto their child. Understanding the full picture of this allows us to introduce the next question:
How do we break the Cycle?
Nutritional Knowledge and Education followed by Awareness and then… Direction. Self-Authority is the Conscious Choice of the Practice of Self-Control. The more you practice Self-Control, the more you Choose for your Self, the more Self-Authority you gain, the more in Control you become over your own life.
This begins the “fine line” of your Self-Control vs. The Control of Others (Which we will discuss tomorrow).
