Greetings and Salutations:
Open Reply Consider: When in the course of human events, it becomes NECESSARY for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the SEPARATE and EQUAL STATION to which the Laws of Nature and Natures God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should DECLARE the causes which impel them to the separation. …THAT AMONG THESE [RIGHTS] ARE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. *THAT whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE, to alter or to abolish it, and to INSTITUTE NEW GOVERNMENT laying it’s foundation on such principles and organizing it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety, Happiness, and LIBERTY. THEREFORE; A DECLARATION is the fundamental basis of international law, and the definitions and rules of application of international law, a recommendation on solidarity. International Law is one in the same both national and international: national in the sense that it is the law of the land and applicable as such to the questions involving it’s principles… The contracting parties put into force “this” code of private international law AND the provisions of the code shall be applicable only among the contracting parties. Within the principal of equal rights and self determination of people, the establishment of an independent state (State-In Fact – ME!) into any other political status freely determined by a people (ME!) constitute the modes of implementing the (MY) right of self determination by that people (ME!) Man has learned long ago that it is impossible to live unto himself, as no man is an island! I cannot stand out here alone and naked as to my rights and titles, my interests and beliefs…Since the same IS NOT protected by so called government today, as I do not posses a contract with so called government at any level to protect such so called constitutional rights…and am I not tired of being raped, pillaged and plundered, my property taken, ect... I/You/Me/We…can return to the ancient path and be guided by those who have gone before us and gave their lives (and sacrificed) THAT this moment might come…
If it’s to be, it’s up to me! BECAUSE IT’S MY LIFE!!! There is only one key that fits one door. That is what MATRIX SOLUTIONS is about....attaining Standing in International law to be able to reach peaceful settlements....retain all of your rights to property by the modifications of treaty and Variations by Agreement. According to the treaties have been signed and are extant in International Law for the past 10 centuries, you cannot sue the state. This is the current system of “voluntary” forced labor using arbitrary private monopolistic powers. However, “fighting” the system with the system is never going to work. The U.S. and its affiliate states have copyrighted all of their “law”. If you use it without a variation of agreement, you are a tort-feasor. The remedy is to pledge to support a better system, and stop begging and expecting this one to change. This alone is reason to “move out” or “expatriate”. In other words, create a new state and become the state. [Not their state, a new one.] The template is as follows: “When in the course of human events, a long train of abuses (remember)” There are two types of people on this planet.....those exercising stewardship and doing business with immunity and those without immunity. There is NO FENCE. If “Pacta sunt servanda.” then “Non Pacta, non servanda” “agreements must be kept.”. General Principles of International Commercial Law, Jus Gentium. “All men are freemen or slaves.” Omnes homines aut liberi sunt aut servi.Inst. 1.3. pr; Fleta. 1.1,c.1,§2. Notice the first charge against the “anointed cherub” was merchandising and trafficking i.e. trade routes. “Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise… by the iniquity of thy traffick…”….” for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
Corporate Charter or Proprietary Government The United States is a corporation. Those who formed that corporation did so organically from flesh and blood. Meaning real people formed a fictitious entity. Why does this matter? Because they had the power to choose to operate their government any way they pleased to based on the fact that they were liable for the repayment of a debt that was incurred on February 6, 1778 when the United States entered into a Treaty of Alliance with France. On July 16, 1782, they borrowed substantial sums from King Louis XVI of France, via an agreement signed by French Foreign Minister Charles Gravier de Vergennes. The borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22 This was in a direct violation of a treaty that was signed in 1763 which stated that The Holy Roman Empire, Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland would not fund each others adversaries in a time of war. [Treaty of Paris 1763] In violation of the [Treaty of Paris 1763] France loaned the Charters of Britain's North
American Colonies eighteen (18) million livres (gold coin) in the Colonies efforts to defend “their selves and their posterity” (financial interests of the Charters) from Great Britain’s taxation over the [Stamp Act 1765] and the [French and Indian War of 1763].
On July 16, 1782 The North American Colonies entered into a Contract for the Guarantee of the re-payment of the 18 million livres (gold coin) entitled “Contract Between the King and the Thirteen United States of North America” Then they signed the “The Definitive Treaty of Peace 1783” Under Article 4 it states: “It is agreed that creditors on either side shall meet with no lawful impediment to the recovery of the full value in sterling money of all bona fide debts heretofore contracted.”
So America went to peace by agreeing to pay their debts. Then they signed the Articles of Confederation which also guaranteed the re-payment of that debt under Article 3 which stated under The Articles of Confederation Article XII “All bills of credit emitted, monies borrowed, and debts contracted by, or under the authority of Congress, before the assembling of the United States, in pursuance of the present confederation, shall be deemed and considered as a charge against the United States, for payment and satisfaction whereof the said United States, and the public faith are hereby solemnly pledged." The Problem was that the states weren’t paying their debts under the Articles of Confederation so they reorganized. This is what Washington was having a problem with. He couldn’t get them to pay. So what did they do? On September 17, 1787 Nine State delegates approve the Constitution. The other four states silently acquiesced and it was ratified despite the rules under the articles of confederation of a unanimous decision. [Anti-Federalist Papers]The States have now become Constitutors. Constitutor: “In the civil law, one who, by simple agreement, becomes responsible for the payment of another's debt.”[Blacks Law Dictionary 5th Edition page 282] What did Patrick Henry have to say about the whole thing? "....Consider how the only remaining defence we have left is destroyed in this manner; Besides the expenses of maintaining the Senate and other House in as much splendor as they please, there is to be a great and mighty President, with very extensive powers: the powers of a King: He is to be supported in extravagant magnificence: So that the whole of our property may be taken by this American Government, by laying what taxes they please, giving themselves what salaries they please, and suspending our laws at their pleasure: I might be thought too inquisitive. For I never will give up the power of direct taxation, but for a scourge: But I beseech
Gentlemen, at all hazards, not to give up this unlimited power of taxation: Patrick Henry's speech of June 7, 1788 Powers of a King? Can we find evidence of this in the Constitution? Yes we can under Article 2 Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress “He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.” So the President had the power to adjourn both houses which he did and never brought the houses back. He then placed the U.S. under the Lieber Code thereby placing us under Martial Rule. This is where we get Executive Orders that have the ability to bypass congress. Those who think we are not already under martial law think again! Article XI section I of the U.S. Constitution keeps the loans from the King valid it states; "All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation." Now let’s fast forward to the 14th Amendment here folks. This again, is where folks claim where they lost their rights. But before we do that lets take a closer look at the Constitution. Article XI U.S. Constitution States” All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation. This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. These are the treaties that were signed for the guarantee of the repayment of that debt. Disputing the debt is considered rebellion.
~
14th Amendment, Amendment XIV Section 4 U.S.
Constitution States that: “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”
Article I Section 8 U.S. Constitution States “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; “To borrow money on the credit of the United States;” “To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations;” What this means is that you cannot question the debt or it will be or it will be in surmount of insurrection and rebellion. Slavery is illegal as involuntary servitude. However, voluntary servitude is not. The problem is status and the fact that most covet their neighbor’s goods through the agency of government. The more power you give by consent to the government the more power they have to collect monies for that debt. A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. Proverbs 17:18 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. Proverbs 22:26 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2 Peter 2:3 Claiming to be an American, a state citizen, or a state national are ALL consenting or “striking hands” by agreeing to pay for that debt. This is done by your own testimony. Because of your failure to pledge to support another jurisdiction, you have agreed by tacit procuration or silent acquiescence to become Human Resources. Your silence has given the agreement.

Council Learned in the Law "Of all the nation's officials, the solicitor general is the only one required by statute to be “learned in the law.” He is the chief courtroom lawyer for the executive branch and serves in the Justice Department, but he also has chambers at the Supreme Court. The fact that he keeps offices at these two institutions underscores his special role, which is summed up in his informal title as the “tenth justice.” "The Council Learned in the Law was a highly controversial tribunal of Henry VII of England's reign. The brainchild of Sir Reginald Bray, the Council Learned was introduced in 1495 to defend Henry’s position as a feudal landlord[1]. It dealt with the king's fiscal matters and enforced payments of debts. It proved to be much more efficient than the Exchequer." “Making the word (logos) of God of none effect through your tradition (laws and society), which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.” Mark 7:13 http://thesaurus.com/browse/tradition, http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/law, http:// thesaurus.com/browse/institution, http://thesaurus.com/browse/society
Language: Throughout history men have sought a way to have power over other men. There is no more cunning and powerful tool than the sophistry of language. The adversaries of liberty fuse their tyranny over the minds of the masses by feeding their pride and vanity. Jeremiah 8:8 8How

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is: [said Humpty] which is to be master - that's all.” “For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.” 2 Peter 2:18 Without humility and a sincere desire and willingness to consider, to think, to ponder, and to question what we already believe to be true then we will be barred if not imprisoned in our own thinking.

It does not operate on faith, hope, or charity, but on oaths, allegiance, entitlements, and forced contributions at the point of a gun through various alphabet agencies. Benefits come with the price of bondage. To obtain benefits from Pharaoh the Israelites paid an excise or income tax of 20% every year to the government and called it bondage. Today most nations pay far more and call it freedom. “Protection draws to it subjection; subjection protection.” “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.” Plutarch, 2000 years ago.
~ “A volunteer suffers no injury.” Because, “No one is obliged to accept a benefit against his consent.” “But if he does not dissent he is considered as assenting.” Therefore, “He who receives the benefit should also bear the disadvantage.” because it is right that, “He who derives a benefit from a thing, ought to feel the disadvantages attending it.”
“The people always have some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness.... This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.” Plato, The Republic, bk. 8, sct. 565: The Bible warns us not to consent, not to make covenants or contracts, to not take oaths or swear, but most of all to not take benefits from men who can rule over us and our neighbor. We are not to take benefits from rulers who call themselves benefactors, but exercise authority because they only offer to us what they have already taken from our neighbor. Governments, or at least men who seek power, often offer benefits to get the people to enter deeper into the realm and authority of government, until what should have been for their welfare becomes a snare. “Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:” (Ex 34:12) The word “legal” originates in the idea of being connected to a legal system by contract. The connection is created by consent. What is to be legal becomes law by that consent and one of the essential ingredients of that consent is mutual consideration, whether by application or indulgence, e.g. benefits. So what is this Social Scheme? It’s the same scheme that Cain City States have used for thousands of years to enslave populations. All these systems rely on some voluntarism at first, but also a compelled contribution. Entitlements work both ways. A betokened benefit reciprocates a compelled contribution. The repose that comes from relinquishing God-given dominion and responsibility brings an addiction that calls out for more and more. One group in society is often depleted to supply the growing demands of another. The word for “city” in Hebrew, `iyr [rye], actually means “excitement, anguish, of terror.” The City-State offered protection, but often became a threat to those around it as the people in it became slothful, rapacious, and covetous. The people within even became victims of their own lust for gain.

People cling to the idea: ...that they can swear oaths to Roman type governments, [Matthew 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all;....:] ...that they can apply and pray to those government for benefits, [Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.] ...that they can vote to exercise authority over their fellow man Luke 22:25 The kings of
the Gentiles ..exercise authority upon them .... But ye shall not be so: Matthew 20:25, Mark 10:42 ...that they can and do covet what belongs to others through taxation, [Free education, free health care, free protection and social security at the expense of your neighbor. ] ...that they can send the sheriff out to rob widows and orphans with force, legally with inheritance and property taxes. Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. ...that they can pay a stipends to their temple called the Capitol and leave the care of the father and mother to others [Mark 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, ... Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.] And that it is all okay because we are going to go to heaven when we are dead. [Matthew 22:32 ... God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.] Such ideas have made us dead already. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

3 keys to freedom: 1. You must take care of your health....and LEARN what to eat and drink....and what not to.....to maximize your time on this Earth. Your body (corpus) is currently the only place you live. 2. You must have Financial Freedom and know how to take care of your resources. 3. You must exercise the Right of Self-determination and start learning "the law of contracts". Being ignorant about this and the other keys, will keep you in bondage to
others.....serving THEM .....and participating (Psalm 94:20) in their crimes/frauds/ wars. For My kingdom is not of this (their) world (apt and harmonious constitutional order, government) David Williams made it to the level of Ambassador of another Jurisdiction....and the United States writes to him in that manner. But "we" need others; and you all need the knowledge that came from the last 10 years of experiences....where Yahweh provided "a light for this path". We can compress anyone's time frame....so depending on the willingness to learn, we can teach anyone what we know about protecting property and becoming a completely SelfDeterminant individual. Remember, Knowledge is not power. Only the right knowledge combined with the right action is Power. Federal Rules of Civil Procedures Rule12 (h) (3) Lack of Subject-Matter Jurisdiction. “If the court determines at any time that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action.” Federal Rules of Civil Procedures Rule 9(a). Pleading Special Matters (a) Capacity or Authority to Sue; Legal Existence. The word Capacity used in Federal Rule 9(a) is otherwise known as Standing. Or can also be defined as Subject Matter Jurisdiction under Federal Rule 12(h)(3). If a court wants to “sue” you and they lack the Capacity, Standing, or Subject Matter Jurisdiction to do so then they must throw the case out. And the same goes for you if you try and sue the state when you are not the state, or lack the status/standing to state a claim for which relief can be granted. U.C.C. § 5-116. Choice of Law and Forum. "Scire leges, non hoc verba earum tenere, sed vim et potestatem," Which in English is "To know the law is, not to observe their mere words, but their force and power." Bouvier's (1914), page 2162.
Our Creator created Man, not PERSONS. And He is not a respecter of PERSONS. Acts 10:34 A PERSON is a corporation, a fictitious entity used under the color of law. A Man is a Living, breathing, spiritual creation. It is a maxim of law that "every person is a man, but not every man a person".
It is a maxim of law that, "It is natural for a thing to be unbound in the same way in which it was bound"(Naturale est quidlibet dissolvi eo modo quo ligatur). If you make a will or a contract and wish to change it or find a mistake in the first arrangement you write a new one. If all the parties agree (silent acquiescence), according to international law) the new agreement supersedes the old one. It becomes a new testament (contract). The state may not agree, but then you may never have intended to give them authority which they have assumed. That original arrangement may have been done by mistake. "It is trite law that His Majesty's subjects are free if they can make their own arrangements so that their cases may fall outside the scope of the taxing Acts. They incur no legal penalties and, strictly speaking, no more censure if, having considered the lines drawn by the Legislature for the imposition of taxes, they make it their business to walk outside them."

The Right of Self Determination as under Peaceful Settlement of Disputes Exercising Self Determination is implementing protocols under "peaceful settlement of disputes" found in International law. Which, case in point, is the Supreme Law of the Land. See Supremacy Clause i.e. U.S. Treaties [emphasis added.] The United Nations: INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS PART 1 Article 1 All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they
freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. Self-determination is a process rather than an outcome. There is, in fact, no one prescribed outcome for the exercise of self-determination. The United Nations General Assembly, in its Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States stipulated that: The establishment of a sovereign and independent State, the free association or integration with an independent State or the emergence into any other political status freely determined by a people constitutes modes of implementing the right of self-determination by that people. Self-determination should not be viewed as a one time choice, but as an ongoing process which ensures the continuance of a people's participation in decision making and control over its own destiny. Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations andCooperation among States says: the establishment of a sovereign and independent State, the free association or integration with an independent State or emergence into any other political status freely determined by a people constitute modes of implementing the right to self-determination by that people ...

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word [Logos] was with God, and the Word [Logos] was God."

What does it mean to say the Logos was with God? The word logos in the Greek does mean "word" but in Greek and throughout the Roman Empire the word logos had another meaning in law commonly known to everyone in those days which is seldom if ever mentioned today. The first line of Book I, Title XII, of the Roman Codes of Justinian states, "Concerning those who flee to the ecclesia [church] or raise a disturbance there." There was a law allowing people to take refuge in churches. This was not new and has been practiced and respected for thousands of years before and after the code was first written. It has been called sanctuary but its origins were far more judicial in nature and well understood in Roman law and the law of Israel. Book I, Title XII of the Roman codes deals with the rules concerning the law of sanctuary and the asylum state. Almost every system of law had a system of trial. The justice of those courts was dependent upon the people or the rulers or both. There often was a separate system or jurisdiction for appeals to prevent injustice in common or administrative courts. The Romans had several systems of appeals including the “the virgin priestesses of “Vesta”. The temples, including Vesta provided services. In Vesta young girls were picked for the training at the age of six from honorable families of freeman and served the temple of Vesta for a term of thirty years. They could not marry during their term of office and were free, emancipatio, from their families. They were very well paid and even pampered with privileges. Behind the pomp there was a practical purpose. Their common duties beyond the burdensome rituals and ceremony of the temple was to keep many important records safe and secure, including every thing from wills to important government treaties..….. They were the clerks of government and the supreme authority over the common clerks who worked for them in the temple and other buildings maintaining these vital records of society and government. They could also own property, pass that property by will to any man or woman, testify in court without an oath, and exonerate criminals for any crime. There was always a danger that local courts could cause a miscarriage of justice. It was important to provide some system of appeals to prevent an innocent man or women from being abused by a miscarriage of justice due to negligence, bribes or prejudice. In ancient Israel people took refuge in the cities of refuge. Refuge is translated from the Hebrew word miqalat [jlqm] which means a refuge or asylum. It is from a root word qalat which means something is wrong, missing, deformed or handicapped. When you add a Mem you add the concept of flow. In this case it is justice that flows from the provision of the asylum state. In Israel, God's kingdom on earth, the people were the Fountainhead of Justice. There was no king but each man was required to tend to the weightier matters of law, judgment, mercy and faith. If justice failed in the people someone could appeal to the congregations of Levites [the Church in the wilderness and the ministers of the people and the servants of God] for justice. The cities of refuge were civil powers of asylum or appeals courts for the purpose of protecting the people from injustice. The Levites served the people but were separate from the power of the state, which first rested in the hands of the people and eventually, due to their rejection of God rested in the hands of the king, and his ruling bureaucracy, elected by the “voice of the people”. I Samuel 8

Cities of refuge were not hideouts for criminals. They were places to appeal to for justice when local systems failed. Simply taking asylum in the city of refuge would make every man a prisoner even if he was innocent. This would not be just or merciful. If he was found innocent by those men of the “city of refuge”, he could leave that city without leaving the protection it offered? This was common in most societies and we see it codified by Justinian. “The right of asylum might also be personal, that is to say, not connected with a place, but with a person. In this connection we find the so-called logos which was a letter or statement in writing granting the bearer exemption from molestation by public authorities. At first such letter or statement was probably granted to a person who had taken refuge in a sanctuary, but who wanted to go home or to some other place for the purpose of attending to some necessary matters.” The right of asylum might also be a persona connected to a person. This was like a hall pass which protected you where ever you went. The bondage of Egypt was the result of status, not a location. Egyptian territory extended all the way to Canaan. When Israel left Egypt they left a persona jurisdiction. When they came to new places they kept themselves free from local persona jurisdiction by making “no covenants” with local inhabitants, applying for no benefits and maintaining an ecclesia or “church in the wilderness”. The Levites were titular representatives to those who were not a part of their society. They could not make treaties, have a standing army, accumulate vast treasury or reserve funds nor do anything that might return them to the bondage of Egypt. Christ appointed one Church to those who would serve His kingdom and bear fruit. There is one church because there is one logos and that logos is Christ. Those who got His baptism were set free from the persona jurisdiction of the Pharisees.
In the end it is the choice of men to choose to gather together utilizing the right of self determination/exile/asylum under the ancient system of Exodus 18:21. No one is sovereign over one another, but every man is King of his own castle. “The right to live under a system of free enterprise, free from forced labor, from irresponsible private powers, from arbitrary public authorities, and from unregulated monopolies.”
Past, Present, & Future Man’s past exercises great power over his existence in the present. Yet, the past no longer exists. Mankind can not alter the past with all the power in the universe. But like the chains of Marley’s ghost, man often insists upon dragging the past into the present. Man creates his own burdens. He is never really in the present because he will never let go of the past long enough to truly be free. Every second is spent slightly out of sync because he is never really entirely in the moment. He is consistently distracted and eschewed from the fullness of the moment because he insists upon drag ging the past in his own thinking. Only one power can release him, and set him free. Only one key may unlock those chains. Forgiveness will set us free. Not our own judgmental absolution but only the forgiveness may release him from the burdens he has locked into his own soul, in his mind, and to his heart with the chains of impatience and judgment.
The present is the only place you will find a solution for the future or the remedy for the past. Man has been enticed to believe that freedom is the absence of tyranny. He therefore believes that if he fights against tyrants and over comes them, he will obtain freedom. This is an erroneous conclusion because good is not the result of the absence of evil, evil is the result of the absence of good. If tyranny is the result of the absence of a positive force within reality, what is missing? Tyranny is the exertion of force in the maintenance of self love. It includes the taking of life from others because you have no personal source of life. Self love results from the absence of our love of the Higher Force that some call God. Pitting our self against evil is a great temptation, but it actually may have the effect of strengthening evil. As long as you oppose tyranny you will not be free because you will be occupied at the whim of tyrants. But that does not mean that we do nothing. It only means that we have to give God a chance to do His thing instead of usurping him with our own effort to be God. Freedom is the right to do as you choose, not an immunity from the cause and effect. Tyrants are merely a symptom in the world in which we exist that something is missing. Nature abhors a vacuum. If we react to tyrants on their level they and we become part of a mutual cause and effect reality. We must become what the tyrant is missing. The best way to nullify the effects of tyrants is to rid our own hearts and minds from the elements of tyranny. Where a tyrant is selfish, we must be charitable; where a tyrant is proud we must be humble; where a tyrant is intolerant we must be patient; where a tyrant is unforgiving we must for give; where a tyrant is covetous we must be benevolent.
