The Way one lives as an heir in God's world.. (Part 1)

The Way One reigns/ rules/ leads/ exercises authority...

The big picture of REAL authority on God's Earth..

..Is that of loving adult parents raising a child from the one-cell stage (where nothing at all is yet known by the individual human cell, nothing of all human endeavours, knowledge, language, loves, pleasures, & appreciations), till the child is a healthy individual adult woman or man, who might be termed a "friend".

There are no guarantees.  

Only the possibilities

of creative love, which be's

or might in fact be, boundless.

"Guarantees" may be

the only things which hold them back.

Perceptions:

• God's kind-a authority comes from the creative love, and the loving creativity that is

expressed in God's author-ship, as the creator of all that exists coming ultimately from

no "thing" but (in Einstein's words) ultimately coming from "the mind of God". 

Not only responsible for  author- 

ing the existence of the material Universe,

this God is also the author of life.

 

• When I willingly come under God's kind-a authority, I can come to know it, in my bones ..( and then, as Abraham and Sarah found...

• I am given (not in a contract, removed from me through the use of a distancing "third-object"

like money, but, in a covenantal agreement, calling for "truth", " honour" & "reality", 

that is close up and personal, as with  marriage) God's kind-a authority to lead/ rule/ reign,

and bless others God connects me with, or "sends" me to… 

(all the rest of the world of humans)

Some Corollaries:

• Proposition One: Authentic author-ity comes from authentic author-ship.

• Proposition Two: Authentic (good quality, work that has integrity and consistency, &

has not been plagiarized) authorship (& there is bad … authorship),

is motivated by creative love, or loving creativity.

• Proposition Three: Authorship & authority can be authentically delegated or shared.

• Proposition Four: Authentically  delegated or shared authority will involve authentic

authorship that is respectful and honouring of its delegated or shared status.
