Forth Meditation
Circumcision cuts away reducing towards that of an ideal man. When they spoke of all men having been born endowed with the same exact business agenda for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, our Founding Fathers weren't elaborating.
No, they were reducing towards a whole new order by the utilization of the scientific method of natural law.
Again, I would like to symbolically place along a political spectrum both a blessed king at one end of eternity and a cursed prostitute at the other end of it, utilizing their characters as a model to better demonstrate the point of our Founding Fathers, that although each of their souls are permanently separated from the other they are still a part of one formal Soul meaning that the trespassing prostitute possesses within her the same exact will for fulfillment as does her land-lording king.
In this romance, while he is still in charge, when as an immature prince, his authority had to be reduced and narrowed. After all, marriage is more than the business of pimping and prostituting as it is a sharing of authority by both the bride and the bridegroom.
Understand the subtle point I am making here, that while the king will tend to make the best decisions regarding himself, the prostitute will tend to make decisions against her own best interest. It isn't that she isn't exactly equal to him, but that she is distracted by a Great Burden inwardly. In other words, evil is manifesting itself in two different ways here. As the prince of light needs to have his authority rebuked towards that situation which is ideal, the princess of darkness needs her authority encouraged in order to express her part.
Surprisingly, when given a chance at stopping her prostituting, the prostitute, having no other course of action, will usually turn to pimping herself. Why are prostitutes in bondage to their prostitution? It isn't because of the pimp, but because of the other prostitutes she is competing with. If prostituting is the business of death, then pimping is the parasitic fly attracted to it.
Like the prostitute, the people have no enemy other than the best friend they have standing next to them. Love thy neighbor as thyself and tyranny will surely run off with its tail between its legs like a whimpering puppy.
So, the expressing of proper authority is a very subtle trick and is why people end up spending thousands of years in the outer darkness of tyranny (a perpetual dynasty). Once again, as government cannot control itself by the implementation of new laws, the people can control tyranny by sobering it up and making it perceive its conscience.
In the old Jewish temple, in order to best prosper within the economy of the Ten Commandments, the authority of the wife had to remain hidden behind a veil. In the new covenant of marriage brought about as a gift from the Lord's resurrection from "death, both the wife and the husband, as is expressed in the book of Acts, were judged as separate authorities.
There exists nothing that we can give to the prostitute to help her as she, as the body, is already the owner of all property and possessions. So, the only possession that the king has to give her, as the head, is his tolerance.
When I was once within the worthless multitude, the Lord commanded that we do nothing, that we not go down to the market to tend for ourselves. Instead, He instructed us to recline back where we stood, as saintly kings would have tended to do - His act willing over to us the possession of all the property. He then made His disciples serve us, with t0hese being the future Apostles - with this act of His willing over to us every possession as well.
If the prostitute feels that she needs to do anything for her betterment, she herself will need to stand in faith and walk in faith. In the end, her only hope will be the converts she meets up with along the way.
And in here lies the real battle. As a potential groom would have to steal such a lowly bride out from under the lucrative business of her pimp, so would a potential ideal government have to steal the people subversively out from under the lucrative business of tyranny.
In making decisions on which way to go, we need to be very careful in our determinations. As odd as it might sound, it is always better to decide to be spoken to from a distance as a lowly Gentile than to be intimately touched as a Jew. This would also mean that those of us most rejected as untouchables are the most cherished, those of us most ashamed are the most vindicated, and those of us most spoken to wrathfully are the most loved.
*Women were thought to be spiritually dead and were traditionally the ones left to bury the dead. Thus, "let the dead bury the dead." So, when Jesus was resurrected, He went in with the dead and was resurrected among them. This gave the dead authority. But this is a very subtle mystery.
