How to Withdraw My Consent and Find God

I'm going to show you how I withdraw my consent from authority to act on my behalf. Allow me to make myself abundantly clear: 
  • I am not a lawyer
  • This is not legal advice
  • I am not trying to overthrow the government
  • Nor am I an anarchist
  • And I do not have religion
This nation has reached a state where authority of all kinds is no longer trustworthy. And appears to be acting against its own citizens on behalf of foreign nations. So, I'm going to show you how I will be withdrawing my consent from that authority. If you choose to do the same, then by all means go ahead. I do not encourage it. I'm showing you how I have done it.


To all powers of authority:
  1. I no longer consent to your authority
  2. Your law no longer applies to me, it appears only as ink on pieces of paper from now on
  3. Yes, you still have power over me through force, go ahead
  4. But I no longer give you my consent to wield that power
  5. You Power is just that, Power. It no longer has my sanction granted by God
  6. The law is not inherently justice to me any more, it is just an arm of Power
  7. I will no longer treat your authority and its law with God given respect
  8. You no longer have my consent to wield that power, I withdraw it
  9. If you continue to do so, I will see it as unjust abuse of Power.
Most people will now say "how ridiculous, what difference has it made?"

Well, before now I gave authority my consent. Now I no longer do. So if you want a detailed answer, go and ask God about it. If authority still wields power against we, it is breaking Gods law. God, in the texts, gave authority permission to wield the sword, only if I gave them my consent. That time has passed. 

Yes, it is true. This also means I have no entitlement to the protection of authority either. And that is a matter for them to attend to - they can continue or they can withdraw my entitlement its up to them I do not care since withdrawing my consent to authority. 

What people struggle with here, especially religious people, is that we all know that worldly authority only really means anything in justice terms when it seems to have been given by higher metaphysical authority. 

The terrible mistake we all tend to make is that we believe this higher authority is asking for our obedience. But is it? Why would we think it was a just authority and continue giving it our respect if it wanted us to obey. That would be a higher order of slavery would it not?

I think this higher authority 'of ours' is *not* asking for our obedience. It is asking for our autonomy. And we, like wilful slaves, keep insisting on giving or obedience. We keep on turning God away.

This higher authority is asking for us to be the final arbiters of our own actions in the world. And that we match our so called imaginary 'rights' with concomitant duties and obligations, by free choice. More importantly that we stop trying to escape from this by throwing these duties onto either the state, or the higher authority itself - a form of virtual slavery of course and worse still to turn away from God as religious people keep telling us.

God does not want us to be slaves. God wants our autonomy, not our obedience. To be obedient is the primary sin. He is trying to tell us this but cannot force us to listen if we are to remain free and autonomous. So gives up and moves on to the next town. 

The prophet is never welcome in their home town.

And it is this observation which helps us to believe the higher authority is justified in making the law - it wants our autonomy, not our obedience. And that is universally fair.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
