Precepts: Authority

Image
       Submit to authority "Now wait a minute!" many will say.  Submission to authority is a negative and not a positive. Submit is "to yield one's self" and is from Latin words meaning under  and let go, send .  Submission is letting go and allowing. Authority is from Latin word auctor meaning master, leader, author and which should not be confused with actor  indicating "to do, perform."

Precepts: Meeting needs

Live in and meet the needs of reality. Meet the needs of those who need it. Be aware of, and meet the needs of yourself.

Protocols: 10) Never Desire to Destroy Another's Reality

Image
As we discussed in  Protocols for Living: 2) Live in Reality  and  Protocols for Living: 3) Be Careful with What is Real ,  reality  is real existence and the aggregate of all that is real. Each individual has their own perception of that which constitutes their reality.   To destroy another's perception of reality is to destroy their reality.  It shakes the very foundation of their world.  Now, there may be times where such foundations need shaking, but maliciously seeking to destroy someone's perception of reality is a harmful thing to seek. A good protocol for living is to never seek to destroy another's reality. Like killing it is a destruction from which some never really recover.
