The most difficult step: to make the shift from 'slave think' to 'king / queen think'

I view all life as sacred.  To attack, violate, steal, enslave or even murder one another is a violation of that sacredness.  To even make demands of one another disrespects the true nature of who we are; sacred spiritual beings.  I see the world very differently than I did 20 years ago or even 5 years ago.  My determination and resolve to not engage in violence against another increases with each passing day.  I've been on this path a long time, as my dear friend testified to yesterday when she stated:

I have watched you stick by your principles through some of the most difficult hardships. You have been adamant and uncompromising  (frustratingly so, for some of those around you who love you) in your  position. - @angelfire808

I've worked hard to not think like a slave and I know it frustrates people around me as I work through what it really means to me.  That is the foundation for all my work over the last 20 years.  I believe we were created in the image of our Creator.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. - Genesis 1:27

Because of that, we are here to learn how to govern ourselves as kings and queens.  We cannot do that when we are slaves to others.  Each and every single one of us has royal blood and is sacred. There are those who engage in war and violate that sacredness.  Some call it evil while others suggest they are hear to provide resistance for our own growth.  What ever the motivation, we are confronted with choices on how we are going to act as a result.   Some choose to go to war. I choose peace and to live that way despite the war!  For me this is not about physical wealth, power or control.  It is about spiritual growth, honour and respect.

 Rev 17:14 states:  "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful." 

The 'kings' that are being spoken of is you and me, NOT those who rule the planet.  The most difficult thing to witness is a king or queen behaving like a slave because they don't have any faith in themselves or don't believe they are worthy of such distinction.  As a result there is a tendency to succumb to the violence whether that be through ignorance, desperation or temptation.  

That is the adamant and uncompromising principles that my dear friend spoke of in her comments.  By recognizing that we are all sacred kings and queens, that means that I cannot demand, claim or force my will upon others.  That requires that I build a relationship and ask for permission should I need or want anything from somebody else.  Boundaries become critical as we start to accept our royal position as the Kingdom of God is within each of us.  

That spiritual jurisdiction trumps any man made jurisdiction here on this planet.  But it requires that we abandon those earthly jurisdictions and learn how to properly govern ourselves within the Spiritual jurisdiction that we represent here on Earth.  Our bodies are the temples for us 'spiritual' beings.  As such, if we abandon that which was granted to us by Creator, we reject it all and fall pray to those who would use violence, force and coercion to govern the fallen.  

I think people hate their chains but they don't want to let them go because it is familiar and they are unworthy to live without them.

To shift from slave think is a tough and challenging process.  It requires that we learn how to have healthy, respectful, balanced, centered relationships with our self, our body, Creator, Mother Earth and all the other kings and queens on this planet.  Peace, patience, non-violence, love, kindness and goodness are all necessary skills and attributes to work on during that process.  Towards others, but most importantly towards self!  

I AM worthy. 

I AM peaceful.

I AM kind.

I AM loving.

I AM patient.

I work hard to brings those attributes into my life so that I can govern myself in a proper way.  That also means that my boundaries are uncompromising and I'm very adamant about that!  I've even put Queen Elizabeth II, the Governor General of Canada and the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta on notice that should they want to contact me, they must follow a protocol.  I require that they ask for permission and fully disclose the subject matter they want to discuss.  If I consent, I will then grant them permission to have an audience with me.  Being a king requires protocol and I also require that people call before they visit.  My gate is locked at all times.  Any violation of my protocol is a trespass as my vessel is the land and I have expanded my kingdom to include the land upon which my vessel came from, depends on for all its food, clothing, shelter, water and air.  

Suddenly governing myself takes on a whole new meaning as I look towards the Queen to see how she governs.  I've made many improvements as I refuse to govern others.  But I've learned a lot from her and her servants.  

It may sound weird to say but I love her and the government.  They gave me the greatest gift one can give.  They made live so uncomfortable for me that I woke up to the state of my relationship with her and took on the duty to govern myself instead.  She gave me a kick in the pants through tough love to give me that push I needed to step up and be the king I was born to be.  

It is respect when we ask for permission first.

It is honour when we no longer make demands.

It is love when we reject the use of violence, coercion or force.

It is patience when we speak our own truth rather than engaging in guilt or manipulation.

It is tough love when we confront others on their slave think.
