This man knows he is an American, and has the Natural Right to bear arms.

[Michael Joseph]

Hmm, like all political concepts, no? All ephemeral illusions made real by our actions. He had a problem and the magic words made the problem disappear. Better late than never.

I think that is the fundamental point. When I was born, I AM and I was with no other conception of Who or What I AM - I just AM. I was not I AM THAT, rather I looked from my two eyes and noticed I AM. Perceiving, I began to partake of my senses and by and thru that experience, society forged an identity in Me. Before then, I had no identity. So, I became I AM THAT.

My Awareness did not die, it remains I AM, but in the illusion, it seemed that I AM became I AM THAT. So then IN the identity of THAT, forged in Me by Society, I began to be aware of other relationships - corporeal and incorporeal. But these relationships were with the THAT which I had become. However, fundamentally, when I sit quietly at my center, I cannot find identity. In fact all merges into Me and then I realize that my world is my conscience pushed out or better said reflected back to me.

Therefore is my world David my beloved - a man after my own heart. When I refused the illusion, I saw that I AM. I could not prove my identity because "if I bear witness of myself, then my witness is false." Then I saw that I AM the State in Being.

I saw that politics is as a Suitor seeking to court my Soul. I could not eat of that food. Is not the Go-Spell enough? Nevertheless, there is a need for Law in the outer court - of this it seems plain. Please excuse my crude analogies however, it seems to me that the food of the natural, spiritual and celestial men are as follows:

Natural Man - food for the stomach
Spiritual Man - food for the Mind
Celestial Man - fruit from the food for the Mind - Joy, Peace, etc...

Who cannot see that a contract is a sacred and holy thing? Consider the so called Civil War. Is it not clear that it was about a contract dispute? If the terms of the contract are being breached, is it not grounds for separation? The States being Sovereign obtain to their Sovereignty by the people who agree to live in that Society. Mom and Dad taught me well how to abide peacefully within a certain Society. When I became a Man, I learned of other Societies - Higher Law - nevertheless, my flesh is found residing in space/time and my Mind is unbound by such limitations.

If I choose to abide as citizen in a certain Society, then I should learn the Law and abide in it. That means, I AM the State in Being- as I AM a member of that Body. I choose. When I was young, I had no choice - Society told Me that I AM THAT and I knowing nothing else accepted.

I wonder if it is possible that any Man be able to prove his identify. Should we trust him? Ultimately are we not all "thought beings"?
