Self Government by Idrisa: 7:36pm On Aug 14, 2009
Omeiza:

[size=20pt]SELF GOVERNMENT[/size]
A person is a sovereign on his or her own and it is only him/her that can negotiate that sovereignty. To negotiate the sovereignty is to give authority to a person or an institution over oneself. No person has the right to rule without the consent of the ruled. Authority is the right to preside and decide over a group.

Every sane adult is expected to establish an independent self-government and thereby becomes a sovereign on his or her right – to be in charge of his or her own affairs. A child can not be independent. Sovereignty means self-government.


A family is a group likewise a community. There is no limit to the size or number of communities. As the entire world can become a single community, so every two individuals can institute themselves as independent communities. A community is two or more people brought together by love and living together as one. This is to be contrasted with a mere association where two or more people are working together but not living together – to live together is to love each other and to exist as one.

Every adult is to take full responsibility of his or her life without any unauthorised interference. As long as a person does not encroach into the territory of another individual, he or she is free to live his or her life anyhow he or she wants it. Authority over a person’s life can only be given by the person himself or herself.

Nobody has any right to deprive a person of bodily needs likewise correct information – deprivation of this sort is a crime that must never be tolerated in a sane community.

Coming and living together has to be by mutual consent and on stated terms agreed by all the parties involved. Justice is a prerequisite for a community.

In a sane community, it is not ‘rule of the majority’ but ‘rule of all’. Finding the truth is not by voting but by research and mutual consultation. Everyone is an asset because no brain is a waste. Rule of the majority only makes sense where the intention is not the truth but to serve diverse selfish interests.

The world is one and the truth in it is one. In the same way that we need correct nutrients for the body and correct information for the mind, so we need correct intentions for the heart.

The entire universe is created in stages and human beings are at the topmost. In the hierarchy of creation, we have the inanimate things then the plants and the animals. While human beings are placed above all other creatures, no human being is created a slave of another human being. We are all equal and the world belongs to all of us - no one is a tenant here!

Human beings see and respond to the world through the mirror of their ideologies – there is no one without a world-view. No one is to force or manipulate anyone into any belief – everyone has his brain as his sight and has the rational sense to discern truth from falsehood. There is no fellowship in knowledge – a person needs to have personal conviction.

Human beings live as communities because they are social creatures that give and receive love.

As an individual, a person has his personal affairs and in a community, a communal affairs. The need for a leader is to preside over communal affairs.

Establishing or becoming a member of a community is by choice likewise leaving it – there is free entry and exit. To become a member of a community is to consent and give allegiance to the laws and the leadership of that community.

God is the only Lord – all human beings are created equal – no one has the natural right to rule over any other person. No one has the right to be a dictator.

The nations we have today are not true communities because membership is not by choice and love not a condition. History is dominated by the greedy ones conquering people to establish kingdoms and empires. We live in a world where might determines what is right.

Every sane adult is given the rational sense as his/her only guide and given the brain as the only sight. No one is allowed to accept anything which he/she does not see by his/her brain or comprehend by his/her rational sense.

A person lives for his or her heart and must therefore not accept anything which he/she can not clearly trace (the benefit) to his or her heart. A person must always know why he or she has to do anything.

God is rich and we are poor – we are the ones in need of God. Whatever God wants us to do is for ourselves – God does not need to be benefited. Therefore, we can only understand God when we clearly understand our needs.

It is an inbuilt nature in human being to always seek for the reason/benefit of a thing/deed. Where the reason is not forthcoming, one takes to superstition – not even rituals are without presumed reasons/benefits. No human being can act otherwise.

We are individuals that live in a common but competitive house. A person must be strong to survive in such a situation. The least strength (as a prerequisite for survival) is to decide/intend and remain determined never to become a slave to any creature. A slave is not living.

Anyone who willing chose to be a slave has negotiated his right to be regarded as a human being until he decides otherwise, No human being is superior or inferior to any other human being. The measure of human value is the heart not the body.

A person has a Heart and the Body. The heart is the focus of creation. The heart feeds on Intentions.

Intention is completely a private affair between a person and the Lord – not even the angels are aware of what transpires in the heart. There is no intermediary between any heart and God and there is no leadership in matter of heart. Leadership and Law are based on bodily activities and interactions only.

The Heart is the seat of motivation for all our physical activities – the activities (in turn and based on our intentions) strengthen or relax the heart.

Every human being has a self that is confined to the heart within him/her – the training of self is an internal affair that does not involve any other human being. No two people share a heart and no individual has more than a heart. No one can love and hate a thing at the same time.

The universe is the common house we all share together hence the need for interaction and (of consequence) the cooperation/competition. It is in our interactions that we discuss Justice, Law and Leadership.

All human beings are selfish except those who have control over themselves.

Individual sovereignty is a natural right that can not be given or denied by anyone – it is for every individual to intend/decide to be a free person or a slave. A person who is coerced is not a slave so long he does not accept the status quo at heart. It is a great sin before God to enslave or allow oneself to be enslaved.

Therefore, it is an individual choice either to live a life as a King/Queen or to be enslaved under deceptive titles (idols) - to be serving the interests of the elites.

This world is not exclusively for anyone – it is not theirs or yours or mine but ours – we are all landlords here! An Idol is anything that is used to enslave the mind of a person.

There is physical as well as mental enslavement. Physical enslavement is to physically coerce a person into servitude - to rule over a person by force. Mental enslavement is to enslave the mind of a person instead of just the body - to manoeuvre a person into servitude while he thinks he is free.


A mentally enslaved person is equally a slave physically - the worst thing that could happen to a human being - death is by far better.

A human being has a body and the soul. While the purpose of life is to uplift the soul at individual’s level of understanding, the body is the physical object by which we interact and manifest our wishes. We definitely have differences in body and environment but not in the soul.

All human beings are created free. All human beings are identical in matter of soul; there is no even gender difference in soul.

The bodily differences have been created in order to organize us and make it easier to conduct our material activities in the common world that we all live. It is a necessity that we divide the activities among ourselves; this has not in anyway made anyone better.

The best among us is the best in beliefs/awareness/character; material possession or position is of no relevance completely. All the material differences are meant to give us addresses so as to recognize and organize ourselves and thereby accomplish our material goals.

The God who created us does not look at our bodies and possessions but what the heart contains.

The leader is in no way better than the ordinary person on the street. A person of a particular race is not better than a person of another race nor is a person living in a big city better than a person living in a remote village.

A human being is either a child or an adult. All adults are independent human beings.

Every adult lives for his or her heart. Every adult must not engage in anything until he or she can trace the benefit of that thing to his or her heart if not it may be exploitation.

As it is completely prohibited for an adult to have pride so it is completely prohibited to have inferiority complex. A human being is a human being; we all belong to the same group.

When a baby is born and the umbilical cord is cut, the first out of the three ropes of dependence has indeed been cut. The baby henceforth is no more part of the mother’s body but a separate entity. The baby now gets its food through the mouth and takes in air from the raw earth. There are still two more ropes to be cut later in life.

The baby would now have to grow to become physically and mentally fit to face the challenges of life. An adult is an independent human being in matter of mind.

When a person becomes mentally fit to face life by himself, God the Almighty cuts the second umbilical cord – the new adult is henceforth responsible for the procurement of his needs and security. If his life will be sweet or bitter, it now depends on how he utilises his God-given brain and mind. A person up till this point has become an adult though not all adults are human beings – some adults are worse than beasts.

The first umbilical cord was cut by human beings while the second one was by God. The third and the determining rope in life can only be cut by an individual himself. It is for every individual to decide to become or not to become a human being. We all have identical opportunities with respect to this choice. The goal of life is to become a human being.

What distinguishes an adult from all other creatures of God is the unique brain that makes it possible for him or her to have the rational sense. Thanks to the power of imagination, we can see ourselves against several settings. Thanks to God, we have the power to choose our response. You think you are small and inside you is the universe.

It is the rational sense that really distinguishes a human being from an animal. An animal has no sense of the truth. The ultimate goal of an animal is mere survival and the guide is the desires. The ultimate goal of human being is to live to the truth and the guide is the rational sense.

At adulthood, a person is confronted with two options in life; to declare his independence from all human lords and live a just and rational life or to remain a slave and be condemned in life.

Every human being is a King or Queen and must be respected thus.


[size=20pt]ENSLAVEMENT [/size]
Human beings have primary desires and have also been given the rational sense to regulate the desires.

We all live in the same physical world so we must of necessity share the world. The Merciful Lord who created us has not created any scarcity in matter of our needs; there is abundance of everything even above our needs.

Some people due to their laziness and evil tendencies have refused to regulate their hearts and are therefore wild in their search for love and security – they have chosen to disregard the rights and respect of other fellow human beings.

When God sent us to earth, He sent us as individuals and He will raise us up on that great Day of Judgment to face our individual accounts. No soul bears the load of another. God is so just that He gave every human being the opportunity to ascend to any height.

The motivating factor in life is no doubt survival and happiness. Every human being struggles for happiness. For an adult, life is to acquire practical and sustained happiness.

The misguided politicians who have refused to correct their hearts are here today thinking they have the right to manoeuvre or dictate for others. They are the ones that have set up one idol or the other to enslave other human beings while we have been created to be independent of any human lord.

Rebellion against God has been the single and persistent problem among human beings. Prophets were sent to awaken human beings to the use of their rational senses and thereby save them from mental enslavement.

All human beings are selfish and anyone who has the chance would want to become god in exception of those that have completely surrendered themselves to the only LORD and look onto the HEREAFTER.

There are those who have openly declared that they have no business with God and are therefore running their affairs without involving God in their decisions – they call it secular system. These people sincerely declare their rebellion.

The other group of people is rather hypocritical. They claim to be serving God but the reality is that they have set themselves up as the intermediaries to God. They are worshipped instead of God. They come under the name of religions and spiritual cults.

Yes! Human religions, nationalism, and the physical symbols are among the idols of today; the idols that Abraham broke. Abraham was not fighting against mere stones and carved wood! Abraham was fighting against mental enslavement – the lords behind the idols – the politicians of today.

Know that these are people that have rebelled against the Lord who created and is sustaining them. They are the rebels that have rebelled against their own NATURE. They are responsible for all the evils on earth. They will not stop at anything to enslave you. They have no any respect for your human dignity. It is you and only you that can free yourself and then associate with other free people.

I am glad that I am free and ready to associate with free people wherever they are found so we be a nation of our own. Please find my contact address below.

In a sane community, it is not might that rules but the truth. A sane community is a relationship between Kings and Queens.

The Mind is too fertile that a person must either cultivate it himself or the devilish politicians take over.

Antoine-Nicolas Condorcet forcasts:
“We shall find in the experience of the past, in the observation of the progress that the sciences and civilization have already made, in the analysis of the progress of the human mind and of the development of its faculties, the strongest reasons for believing that nature has set no limit to the realization of our hopes.…

The time will therefore come when the sun will shine only on free men who know no other master but their reason; when tyrants and slaves, priests and their stupid or hypocritical instruments will exist only in works of history and on the stage; and when we shall think of them only to pity their victims and their dupes; to maintain ourselves in a state of vigilance by thinking on their excesses, and to learn how to recognize and so to destroy, by force of reason, the first seeds of tyranny and superstition, should they ever dare to reappear among us."
