| BkII:13.IV.1 | There is only one true authority and that is God. Every time humankind tried to remove God and power from being the authority over all things, it has fallen into tyrannies or nonsense. Why? For the simple reason that all true authority comes from truth. Only in the truth can there be perfect certainty. If you appeal to systems whose foundations are illusion, you will sooner or later be disillusioned. You will feel disappointed by life, by the thought systems of the world, and by everything learned from worldly wisdom. This, in turn, will create a state of anguish and bitterness. The return to the authority of love will make all this anguish change. |
