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, worrying, and keeping the People out of alignment with their Divine Nature as children of the Father.
Now is time to explore the three ways in which a tyrant accomplishes this:
- usurpation
- oppression
- despotic behavior
This part of the exploration will be more complicated and will touch perhaps many buttons. Not because that is Divine Will, but because that is the way of the unrighteous - unholy. They hope that people will give up, either because it is too difficult or too painful to see the Truth, or because they have become too attached to the deception and have come to hold it as truism. Whenever you see complicated and entangled, pain and sorrow, attachment and perversion, and so on, you know it is of unrighteous - unholy origin.
Linda and I have both found out that at the beginning it always seems that Father asks us to do that which brings out the greatest aversion, fear, or resistance. "Anything but that," we would think. Why is this? Not because our flesh is sinful. Not because our flesh is weak. Not because our flesh works against us. Not because Father asked us to do something against ourselves. But rather, because the unrighteous - unholy have placed obstacles in our walk with Father.
To all practical purposes, when someone is not walking with the Father, it appears there are no such obstacles, yet change your path and begin walking in the Father Way and suddenly pain, fear, sorrow, disappointment, attachment, revenge, engagement, you name it, shows up. You become aware of all that has been keeping you away from walking in the Father Way and you have to deal with it. What do you do when you become aware of this? Your first and foremost option is to turn / keep your focus / awareness / attention to the Father. Smile. Let go of the obstacle / baggage / stone. Lay the stuff on the Altar in Right and Proper Exchange for Truth and if the stuff is not yours, tell it "get thee away". Ask for the capacity to see / do things differently. Ask for obstacles / resistance to be lifted and for your way to be made clear. Ask and choose to be non to the ways of the unrighteous - unholy. Do it differently, do it the Father Way and clear yourself from any attachment to / belief that the false promise / direction of the unrighteous - unholy will solve your problem. Ask for Grace. Contemplate and if necessary, "sit and pun" until the answer becomes available / the path becomes clear. Keep a Light Heart. Smile.
I will do my best to simplify things.
