We have covered a long ways. We have explored how tyranny rules, influences, and exercises. We have explored how tyrants usurp and oppress, and now we are into the last aspect of this exploration: despotism. So let's move on and get this done. Despot: Master or lord, see potent Tyrant or oppressor […]

Oppression - SP11
After covering many of the aspects of usurpation, one may wonder if there is anything left to unveil from any further exploration of how tyrants accomplish their deeds. After all, usurpation pretty much encompassed all behavior we take as a "normal" expression of civilization and humanity. […]
Arresting the attention - SP 10c
Let's resume the Spiritual Swimming (SP) series by taking a look at the third way in which a tyrant usurps others: the arresting of the attention. Arrest: To bring to a standstill To take into custody Catch and fix Attention: Concentration of the mind upon something Heed Consideration Fix: Place, […]
Let's continue with the pause
After writing on tyranny for a while in the Spiritual Swimming (SP) series, I feel it is necessary to take a day to refresh the Soul in the Father Way and remind ourselves of the Blessings of the Father Way. If everything we know seems to be a manifestation of tyranny, one may wonder what is left. […]
Pausing briefly
Linda likes to visit suvivalblog.com and a few days ago she read about a woman who passed away from eating hemlock, a wild plant that can be easily confused with wild carrots (probably what happened). This is her posting on this issue (hemlock and safety). A word of caution I may not have stressed […]
Impressing the mind SP 10b
The second way usurpation is implemented is by impressing the mind. In a way, this behavior is very similar to what has already been described, however I will take this opportunity to expand upon one aspect of all of this which I have not directly addressed before. Impress to seize into service or […]
Grasping the mind - SP 10a
Be aware, this is a long post. As unveiled in the last posting, usurpation is a stealthy and gradual increase in trespassing and involves three steps: The grasping of the mind The impression of the mind The arresting of the attention As you contemplate the three ways through which usurpation is […]
Usurpation - SP 10
So here we go. Usurpation is a word used to describe how a tyrant achieves his / her goals of rule / influence / exercise over others. Ready to continue the ride to Freedom? Usurp: To seize and hold by force or without right To commit forcible or illegal seizure of an office, power, etc. Encroach […]
One step forward- SP 9
In previous postings it was unveiled that tyranny: rules by imposing principles and regulations designed to control and direct the People influences by using deceitful behavior, 'unnatural' knowledge, occult powers, and invisible forces, and exercises by employing, occupying, taxing, perturbing, […]
Who is vulnerable? - SP 8
Before I continue with how tyrants accomplish their deeds of tyranny, it seems appropriate to pause just a little longer to ponder what follows. In exploring how tyranny manifests in our lives, we may at one point or another wonder what exactly makes someone vulnerable to tyranny. Why is it that […]
Restoration x 2
Fixed the bug - transfer pending. After a few days looking at blogging software alternatives, we finally found one that is simple yet provides what we need. Now all I have to do is adapt a little program to transfer all the blogs from the current software to the new one. It's a work in progress. […]
Blog Software acting up
For the past few days, the blog software I'm using has been acting up. Some parts work, others don't. So rather than dedicating time trying to figure out what is happening, I will change to a different software. If you have this blog bookmarked or have subscribed to the RSS feed, you may have to […]
And the Father is... a finale
Having expounded on this topic yesterday, it seems appropriate this day, to bring closure to it. In the list I made of possible causes that could bring resistance to the Knowledge and Presence of the Father in one's life, there remain two others to be addressed. Let's take care of them today. One […]
And the Father is ... step 2
In "And the Father is..." I spoke of the value and need for a way to differentiate who we speak of and Pray to so as to ensure there is no confusion. I indicated that the Father Which is In Heaven Who has been Guiding us and sharing Truth with us is the same Father to Whom Jesus taught us […]
Breathing time
Here is an updated photo of my patch of Abundance in the back yard. Not sure why, but the patch does not seem to photograph as well as I think it looks. Nevertheless, here it is. As you can see, the clover is in bloom (purple dots) and much of the grass has gone to seed. Many salad greens and […]
To exercise - SP 7
The time has arrived to tackle the last descriptive word of what a tyrant does: "exercise". I have to admit that I was quite surprised to learn that something which is presented as a much needed activity to stay healthy, is actually related to tyranny. Exercise: [keep active or busy < […]
Before exercising - SP 6
Before we begin exploration of the word "exercise", let's summarize and expound on what has been said so far regarding tyranny. A tyrant uses principles and regulations designed to control and direct someone's life. He does this through the use of occult powers and invisible forces... this […]
To influence - SP 5
The second word that describes the action of a tyrant or tyranny is "influence". If you thought the unveiling of "ruling" was a mouthful, wait until you read what is surfaced from this second descriptive word. In a way I keep thinking of the expression used in Coast to Coast AM, […]
To rule - SP 4
After a refreshing pause, let's continue upon the exploration of tyranny and its many manifestations. What will be uncovered through this is indeed amazing. I will take it one step at a time. Remember that all I'm doing is using dictionaries to define words and following my intuition as Guided by […]
A Lighthearted Shift
For a few days, I have been looking at a section of my backyard. This is what it looked like. As you can see, it was an area filled with dandelions that had gone to seed. It was nice to see the yellow flowers dot the area, but the tall seed stalks looked so out of place. Whenever I would look […]
What is tyranny? - SP 3
For a man to learn to live as a Sovereign, in Divine Expression of his True Nature as a child of the Father Which Is in Heaven, he must indeed, at this time and age, have a clear picture of what tyranny is and how it operates in the world. While it is presumably easy to identify someone who openly […]
Sovereignty from Tyranny - SP 2
Linda: "There is a need to write eloquently about how a man can express as a sovereign once again after having been enslaved by tyranny. This is very important in this culture at this time, when tyranny has become so apparent that the only way people can handle it is with apathy, because no one […]
Spiritual Swimming 101 - SP 1
As indicated in a prior posting, I will begin a journey of discovery to explore the meaning of "tyranny" and how to identify it when it is upon you. At this point, tyranny has entrenched itself so much upon the world, that many no longer recognize it for what it is. Thus, there is a need […]
Forgive and forget
Father has shared with us the need to learn to forgive and forget. Much of what I have included in this posting comes from the book "Soul Awakening" available through BlueStarWayPublishing. Forgive (for-give): to give for Give: to make a present of offer Offer (off-er): off: not now […]
