IDENTITY & AUTHORITY

Page 9

FIELD NOTE 3

IDENTITY & AUTHORITY

Use the box. Do not become the box.

Passage actions

WHY IT MATTERS

Words and institutions are useful, but usefulness does not create authority over consciousness.

Passage actions

The Society rejects compulsory identity and automatic spiritual authority. Expertise can inform you. Administration can organize a community. Neither makes another person the owner of your meaning.

Passage actions

TRY THIS

Choose one belief that feels obvious. Ask: Who told me? What evidence supports it? Do I still choose it?
