Very important quotes, especially in the current time, when STS at its peak is attempting to dominate others through various forms of authority, living out the last moments of their “glory”.
There is no authority vested in groups, states, or even enlightened individuals. The only authority that exists and is consistent with STO is our own authority, balanced by the authority of the Creator.
These are the sole sources of true authority: ourselves and the Creator directly. Anything that stands between us and the Creator, such as other people, charlatans claiming to speak for God, groups, institutions, governments, or aliens, does not hold true authority.
The only authorities are ourselves as individuals and the Creator.
Fortunately, I am no authority over you, nor should I be, just as you are not an authority over me. However, we discuss and learn from each other because even in ordinary opinions, there is an implicit understanding that comes from wisdom, which influences those opinions.
But we must always remember that the ultimate authority lies within ourselves individually and with the Creator. Where at some level these two categories of entities are the same Being.
