You are the fire and the sword. You are that. I see you coming.
All it can do is wield power. And wielding power always brings conflict. There are always only 2 sides fighting to gain power. The winner abusing it and causing untold harm each time in its goal of delivering its own particular rights narrative.
When the state says "we grant you these rights", what it's saying is we have power to allow you to do these things. That is all. It is trying to give you something it does not own. It presumes you had no rights prior to them taking power and now it is giving you something for your obedience.
Rights do not come from society. They are a natural force. People have rights. Rocks have rights. The sun has rights. Granted at the begining of time by nature. They cannot be taken away or granted without causing a great deal of harm.
If you feel you have suffered through 'lack of rights' in any way, that is a mistake and if you carry on being that victim you will cause yourself harm not to mention harm those around you.
If you feel you have suffered, a wise old man once said, "treat the loss in the same way you would treat a war, earthquake, failed harvest or a rainy day" depending on the scale of it.
Because then you will be back in harmony with nature. If you're in harmony you will find you are now your own judge and autonomous as an individual. You have 'regained your sight' showing you how things really are as they happen in front of your face. It will be obvious. It is observed.
You will now be able 'to see it coming'. You will no longer need to ask 'my lord' when it will come.
Nature commands. The idea of human rights is an illusion. Practicing them is incoherent in the eyes of nature. This incoherence always brings conflict. And this is what we observe just by looking at it.
Spotted instantaneously this morning within an hour of waking from my dream. I am the rain that falls. I am the famine which starves. I am the war which kills. I am the quake which shudders and wrecks. I am that. I am the sword and the fire.
