That's what I believed. I jumped right in, walking joyfully to the store with my children skipping alongside me, so relieved I did not have to "helicopter parent" my children. Oh, sweet country living where everyone called me by name long before I knew any of theirs.....um, wait. that is not a good thing. Look a wee bit more closely. There is no helicopter parenting, not because it's safe but because the children are neglected, unsupervised by parents too busy on Facebook, watching TV and/or drinking. O.K. some of those parents are actually off working and the caregivers are busy on Facebook, watching TV or drinking. But then the parents come home and do the same thing. Oh, and they're sharing the pot with the kids all under the age of sixteen.
Oh, but now I'm making enemies. I should worry, right? None of these people would have ever been friends. They do not know how to be anything but enemies to anybody. And I'm not being judgmental or overly critical. Case in point number one: "friend" and her family are guests for Easter dinner, she thinks. Oh, she's all relaxed, playfully posing for pictures, affectionately interacting with her husband.....who the week before was at that very same house telling the hostess, the "friend", how abusive this young mother, his wife, is to himself and their children. Her "friend", the hostess to this scenic small town Easter event, was advising him he should leave his wife and take the children. Meanwhile the wife all confident and unaware that she is surrounded by her worst enemies, critically examines me about how my daughter should be in kindergarten or something. My child's education is the least of her worries, but if I told her? Well, I'm just the trouble making outsider who doesn't know anything, they'll vehemently and convincingly argue against me, lulling the mother back into a comfortable sleep after they've provoked her into attacking me. Then they'll do it to her anyways and she'll be alone crying, wondering "How did this happen to me?". Been there myself, darlin' and seen this community do it time and again to other people. I'm not bitter, I'm realistic. These are normal relations in this area between friends and family members. Oh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, did you think being family made it any safer? Did you think your teen niece would have at least been honest and told you? No, darlin', it's a small town and it's not quiet, she's been raised true to character and "keeps it in the family". Small towns aren't quiet, they just know how to keep their secrets.
The "upper crust", "non-addicts" aren't any better. Did I think the town clerk was doing me a favor and being "small town generous" when I went for general assistance and she told me "no, don't show me that paperwork! I wont be able to do THIS for you". Oh, O.K., leery but not knowing if I should say anything. Nope, she was making sure I never got general assistance again. Because now she gets to say I was dishonest about my income and then she even lied to an outside agency who wanted to investigate. Oh, yes, the conniving runs deep, like being on a Survivor island. And what does she do with all that free time now that she has undermined everyone who would be going to her office for help? She calls her boyfriend the animal control officer to take bolt cutters to the padlock on her sister's dog yard fence, hauling his niece's dog off to Bangor Humane society where "heroic" auntie, (oh no, that's right: married father after marrying brother...) big sister rushes off to rescue it. Criminal activity in this town isn't limited to 4 drug addicts as one commenter posted on the news website.
Then there's the local "righteous" and "upstanding" citizen postal worker. She's a real doozy. On her good side? Official post office policy is a casual thing. She doesn't like the rumors about you or has a bit of gossip she doesn't want to apply the federal regulations about privacy towards? She's all loose lips and robbery. Yes, robbery. Is it any less destructive to withhold important social security mail and a heater from a mother of minors in the middle of winter, depriving her of money to buy food and the ability to heat her home for her children than if a drug addict stole these things? And when an abused mother leaves town and is counting on privacy giving her time to accomplish the escape of herself and her minor children, is not the gossip of the postal worker informing the grandmother, one of the chief abusers of the intended mover, endangering the minors in question?! Is our "upstanding citizen" and influential member of the community any less destructive and detrimental to the community than a drug dealer? The answer is no, obviously.
If you ask the local preacher's wife why they have their church here she'll say it's because this area is plagued with evils like wife-swapping and these out-of-town attendees are bringing the Lord to this much in need community. O.K. Sex, drugs and rock and roll fought off with charismatic music, ornate hairdos to seduce angels into possession for speaking in tongues.....aren't they both just groups of people equally defiling their bodies? And while the town presents a pretty New England small town surface picture the church is doing a lot of surface renovating yet neither it nor the preacher are paying their property taxes....all looks the same to me. These outside church-goers fit right in! Welcome to the community! Don't know why the locals don't embrace them. They're all kin spiritually.
There are also comments referring to police not looking into other killings. Other killings? Wasn't this recent event a rare thing in this "quiet" community and all due to only 4 newly arrived drug addicts? Like I said..... And yes, police are skeptical about anyone in these communities being "innocent victims". Shoot, my last name alone implicates me. One can safely assume I'm an alcoholic if not a drug addict and scam artist if not outright thief, right? And it must be true because I don't have custody of three of my kids, correct? There's no way I was just like that unwary mother in the first paragraph, right? Does not matter I was never investigated or found unfit. It absolutely could NEVER be small town corruption and politics, could it! Oh, no, I'm just a loose, lying, thieving addict like all the rest. Something different would never exist in such a community, would it? But because I am not any of those things, lies have to be fabricated and anything I do indeed do must be interpreted in the worst light possible.
Meanwhile, we went all winter with no storm-caused power outages, but let those warm summer holidays come where everyone's drinking and so far we've had two power outages. Both due to poles being taken out. And there has been at least one death linked to drinking and driving in the year and a half since I've been here. And last year the man who lived across the road, adjacent to the property that was scene to the latest crime, killed his own father. No, this town is anything but quiet.....it just does what it does quietly so the news reporters, themselves addicted to "sensationalism" and dramatization, don't catch wind of it.
And some may say "one less addict" or "fine, a bunch of drunks" don't matter to anyone and good riddance when it happens. But honey, I ask you honestly, "Is your position any different?". Would any of our deaths mean anything more to anyone than a reason to get the heart pumping as we spout off our opinions about it, feeding our various addictions to drama, self-righteousness, etc? Sure, there's an occasional heart that is touched, like me naively thinking "That was somebody's mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter. They were loved and meant something to someone!". Did they really? Because if they really meant something to somebody, they wouldn't been allowed to get into that condition to begin with. any predisposal would have been nipped in the bud in childhood. No, those of us with sensitive hearts and even a passion for honesty are a rare thing and even we often don't know how to truly love and care about somebody. We are raised in the dark concerning discipline, righteousness, integrity, honesty, and all those truly good qualities. These are truly dark days for humanity.
The days are gone where you might have been able to flee into the wilderness far from it all. The wilderness is home to drug plantations and monitored by federal agents who definitely won't let anyone settle down out there. No, we're all kinda trapped on this planet like animals in a cage just trying to find a safe enough corner that is not out there.
Rumor has it that the people who frequented the property which served as the latest crime scene were those who were trying to get their lives clean up a bit. So why would this thing happen to such a one, one trying to clean himself up and should have been gaining a better reputation? Either he was a good-hearted person who spent a life misled and God saw fit to allow him to pay the price for his sins. We'll see him in some form of resurrection. Or his sins were too great for God to want to allow him any sort of redemption. An eerie thought to imagine, that a man's sins be so great that God would allow him to be put to death before he could work toward redemption. But the community is no less merciless in their judgment of him, are they? Even in a gruesome death, they still condemn him for his sins.

Ticked at my community!
A little over 10 years ago some members of the community came to me about a corrupt animal control officer. So, I went to bat for them. I did the research on what was required to get her removed. I stuck my neck out talking to town officials about the process and neighbors. When it was time to produce written statements, every one backed out. "Oh, I'll lose clients". "Oh, no, she'll come take my dogs". Fine. Thanks a lot, but it's your town and your animals she's messing with. If you don't care enough, screw you too. You don't want to clean up your own bed, take responsibility for your circumstances, don't ask me to. I left you all to yourselves then came back at someone's behest only to find things worse instead of improved. Fine, again: it's your bed.
But this latest cover up placed my children in mortal danger! And THAT I won't take lying down. By Thursday afternoon I knew all the gruesome details of the crime committed on Main street. And that is saying something because no one in this community particularly likes me and I have no regular interactions with the people involved, if not due to personal differences than simply because of my family name. So, if I knew, the cops should have. But no. This animal was being protected, covered up and allowed to run loose. What if he imagined YOU were holding something out on him? Would it have been so cool to have done him a favor as a friend? You let him get away with it! What would stop him from doing it again to his other friends? The people who picked him up at the cemetery should have knocked him on the head, trussed him up like a pig and driven straight to the police with his story. You saw the evidence through the windows, you knew he did what he said. You yourself called the police to do a "wellness check" with the murderer sitting right next to you! This wasn't a quick bullet to the head, it took up close, slow and methodical.....a bit more consideration.
And this guy had already tried to kill his victim at least once. That victim told everyone he was afraid this was going to happen. You knew it was coming and did nothing to stop it. That blood is on the hands of this entire community which fostered and nourished this and constantly just turns their heads to things, trying so desperately to keep their own hands clean trying to play "politics", chopping off the heads who are actually brave enough to stick their necks out.
There's a deep festering rot in this community and I'm not afraid to say it!
I am editing to add: another thing to be leery and aware of about this community is their bad habit of making those who are leaving the "normal" ways of this community behind them to walk a different, straighter, road the community scapegoats. So, if you start getting clean or attempt to become a better parent, you suddenly find yourself under a magnifying glass and get the state and cops called on you for any minute offense that can be presented in an ugly fashion. And when I say community, I include Plymouth and Palmyra, not just Detroit because everyone is related in one way or another, sharing the same mentality and problems. Trust me, you won't get support in this community for going straight or doing right by anyone, especially yourself and your children. You'll just be spit on and beat down like the Israelite scapegoat.

"Sovereign Citizen"?
Sovereign citizenry is impossible. The words sovereign and citizen are contradictory. I am not a sovereign citizen. I am a sovereign being who resides in a body on land claimed to be owned by a mob of people who carry guns, forcefully put you into prison, take your possessions and kidnap your children should your actions or inactions disagree with their childish, insecure, immature demands placed in writing and proclaimed to be "laws", "ordinances" and "policies" supposedly capable of controlling and limiting such actions or inactions. Thus, as an intelligent sovereign entity who respects and appreciates her body, possessions, and children, I submit to the mob's enforcement officials and policies where appropriate and necessary, thus preserving my body, possessions and children until a mob with bigger guns comes and disillusions the current mob of it's convictions that it has some inaliable right to bully free sovereign people like me. Until then, I do what I need to do in order to dwell in peace and relative safety.

The Call from the East
This began as an open letter to those serving in the military, flowed into what it means to be a sovereign entity and to be a Native American............
To all true Americans serving in the military:
It is time to come home. It is time to serve and protect your people from a government that has overstepped it's bounds putting it's self into too much debt, subjecting us to outside authorities. It is time to protect us from overbearing government agencies and the minions it has created in it's counselors, teachers, and scientists. I am a citizen whom you swore to protect and defend from enemies foreign AND domestic.
Your children are hungry. They are hungry for a sense of safety, security, health and well-being, a spiritual connection to things.
Spirit came to me and bid me remember my childhood, the streams, the water I drink. My body is 80% water taken from this land. I am bid to notice the pot in which I boil that water, coated in minerals. The other 20% of my body is made up of those minerals it takes from the water which has rained down, drawn the minerals from the soil and been drawn back up out of a well to serve my body. The rest of the food I eat is simply "fossil fuel" my body burns to run it's engine.
I am bid to think about our food and the eating of it: one year we must no longer eat eggs, they are bad for us full of cholesterol. The next we must eat more eggs, it turns out they are high in protein. One year we must not eat butter and instead use margarine. Then we must not use margarine but return to eating butter. Which is it? It is not the food making the people sick, it is the terror with which they eat it. And this fear comes from our government, it's "scientific findings", it's warnings, it's regulations based on this ability to terrorize us into requesting this guidance which leads to confusion: your children are hungry for clarity.
When I stand outside or feel a breeze through an open door or window I FEEL the earth, the wind and the trees. I feel the rich green grass and the birds that are singing. I am a part of it and it is a part of me. As a child I spent most of my days wandering the surface of the earth alone, somehow knowing which plants I could pick in the fields to eat. I wandered in the woods and without fear or doubt I drank from fresh springs. As a budding young woman I swam naked in it's streams at peace in my surroundings. The land and Spirit call out to me: drink! Tell the people, it is time to set themselves free.
It shares it's story.... How we were young and innocent, naïve about many things but learning about sovereignty and what that truly means. Then came the white man with their imported water fermented in patriarchal spirits. this illusion of power seduced our men who became high on these spirits beating their women and children...their connection to earth AND Spirit. It seduced our women with it's air of authority, something we had been lacking in earnest. We sought to learn from them and to teach them what we ourselves did not even know yet. We acted in ignorance. But now we have the answers we were seeking. It is time to cast off the white man's system of patriarchy and domination, returning to the ways of women being our connection to authority, knowledge and understanding of things.
We owe no one anything. We are not in debt to anybody. Foreign governments invested knowing full well our constitution, taking a chance that the American people would not remember it and come to know exactly what it means to be sovereign citizens of a sovereign country. They gambled and lost because the government had no right to make any such commitments on our behalf. A stranger on the street cannot demand of another "give me money and you can get it back from her", pointing to me randomly. Neither can an elected official who I have not chosen take money from China and tell the Chinese government I would pay it back to them or that they can take me into service to compensate for it. It is time for those who claim we owe them to turn around, put their hands in their pockets, lick their wounds, chalk up their losses and start walking. I never voted for a single one of those elected officials. I never saw one worthy of choosing to represent me. My choice NOT to be a registered voter makes my hands clean of ANY agreements they have made and claim to have made on behalf of me.
Even if I had, NO TREATY or AGREEMENT is valid if it is made under duress. If we are afraid of losing something, threatened with violence or ANY form of loss or suffering, expressed or implied, if we do not agree to something, we are being forced against our own will into an agreement. The agreement is null. It is void. It is not an agreement. You do not threaten a woman with loss of her children when you already have them hostage if she does not agree to have sex with you and then sue her for being a whore because she did not scream in objection. We recognize this as rape and the raping of a woman does NOT give a man authority over that woman in any court of law he might stake a claim to her belongings in ......unless it is a white man's. That is why we must not turn to the courts for justification: they are not OUR government. they are European, patriarchal, poisoned and fermented with evil spirits. Their authority is not valid because it does not come through the women, the earth, Source and spirit in one clear connection.
One does not take a child, ask them to make a piece of paper pretty and to give them what they need then make them a slave to all sorts of abuses claiming they gave their consent and permission. Such an agreement is invalid. Ignorance IS a valid reason. There is no shame in admitting we were once children in our understanding. I am sure there is ample proof that white man knew of Native American child like innocence and ignorance to understanding the implications of their actions in the white man's imagination.
If you are a white man who FEELS this land, can openly admit with no shame in it that you depend upon a wife, a mother, your children, to keep yourself grounded and keep your spirits lifted, you ARE Native American. You know where the will comes from that makes you mighty and strong. You ARE wise, you ARE brave, you ARE strong and you ARE Native to America. It is time to shore up your connections to earth and spirit by protecting, defending and fighting for them.
Your children are being born with ADHD: anxiety experienced in the womb that drives a child to carry on in hyper vigilance when it leaves it because you have abandoned them emotionally, spiritually and physically. Your children are being born with autism: too afraid of everything, too afraid to leave a state of hyper vigilance to "come out of their own shell". Your children are born with cancer: fear eating away at them. They suffer from asthma: being to afraid to even remember how to breath every day. They suffer from allergies: are overwhelmed with irritation at having to eat and come into contact with this fearful environment, surrounded and full of everything they are told to be afraid of. They are killing one another and themselves, crying out for attention and acknowledgement of their condition. The earth it's self has pulled you off your feet with waves of water and you do not listen. It tries to shake some sense into you with earthquakes and you still do not listen. It strikes you with wind tearing up your houses and places of evil worship and yet you defy it. Now, it threatens to swallow you whole in sink holes......you will now listen.
If you are a red man and do not KNOW these things, you are nothing but a white man in a red man's skin sporting an ID card that says your heritage WAS Native American. Cast the white man out of your skin and become Native American.
A woman from England who calls herself an American citizen told me we live in a culture which she agrees with: that all it's citizens are "mandated reporters". We are to report anything we see other people do to their children that "concerns us" while we are out in public. NO. We have the right to privacy no matter where we are or what we are doing. Why do you not know to avert your eyes when in the presence of other people's matters of privacy? Why do you stare openly at the embarrassment of one being punished/arrested? Why do not avert your attention from the suffering already being attended at the site of an "accident"? A true, mature, responsible, sovereign person knows of discretion. They know what is and what is not their business. They teach by example and with discipline/guidance in whatever form is appropriate and needed to their children.
What of "elected officials", "representatives", "public servants" in a sovereign nation made up of sovereign people's? Servants don't get paid. We meet their needs but we do not give them a paycheck. So let us say for example someone volunteers to serve in California and the only one offering the means to travel is an Amish man with his horse and buggy? The representative accepts graciously and leaves a bit earlier than he would if he were taking a plane or car to the next session. But I can guarantee, a sovereign people who KNOW their representative WILL serve and protect their interests would most likely be flying first class all the way there while never taking such things for granted.
There are answers to everything if we look deep within. The road there, the way in, has been shown to me and paved clear for me. It is now time to access it, draw it forth and apply it. It is now time to BE Native American.

Freedom = Sovereignty
Some bits and pieces I am discovering about sovereignty and an email about child support enforcement in example of how to apply what I am learning:
We must get used to expecting service rather than asking for help with things. If we ask for help, we are putting ourselves into subjection, a position of servitude, relinquishing authority. We make requests for service, not assistence or help of any kind. It is appropriate for children to demonstrate subjection to parents, asking them(parents) for help or assistence but it is not apprpriate for adults to ask for help from children. If we ask, "Will you do me a favor?" we are asking "Will you do me this service?" and is a way of getting answers and things without being overbearing yet not putting ourselves into subjection to the one doing the giving, I think. Technicalities, sometimes it is all in the technicalities and so some miner details need to be taken very seriously until we get everything in order and miner slips of the tongue do not invite threat...a day shall come when no such threat exists. Speaking of which, so often we have experienced just the viewing of entertainment as a doorway for spirits to enter. A simple observation must not be mistaken as an invitation. As responsible sovereigns we have every right and obligation to examine the spirit of all things that we may determine their appropriateness to the human experience. We should not dwell in ignorance nor be under threat simply for leaving a state of ignorance.
The next morning I awake slowly, feeling better still but not yet completely healed. I am given the brief vision glimpse of a buck and a doe playing in a field together. Warm joy fills me. As I go about my morning more realizations come to me as I realize God had no right to make promises to Isreal. She had already chosen a land that pleased her: the lush, rich green of the Eastern United States. She had already chosen a people and endowed them with understanding of the pricinciples of Sovereignty; such tribes as the Mohicans. The Constitution is evidence of their influence and what those who appreciated it wanted, however white men did not understand the principles fully, were already in a state and consciousness of servitude and so The United States of Sovereign Peoples did not survivie it's infancy. It is beggining to. She is etrayed by the form He chose to have her dwell in, some of which makes her happy, some of which doesn't. But She is already invested. And while He would prefer other forms, He must take the one which pleases her and She asserts Her Sovereignty over the affairs He created for Himself. He must be in subjection and accept the lesson. It is Her people who will govern the affairs He created. A woman is faithful, just and righteous in her nature if she is empowered. But He must have no emotional investment in the affairs He created or She is forced to bring upon them destruction. They both know this. many things are occuring to me: a husband's duty to honor his wife vs the scriptural right as her lord and master to do so and cause her to suffer should another choose to. Well, if He had been doing an appropriate job of it, another wouldn't be driven to do it or be given the opportunity to sneak in the back door to do it, so to speak. Time to allow things to come rolling in gently, quietly, patiently but assuredly. It is She who stated it would be given to another. That is the trick to "hearing" prophesy that was recorded; hearing the various voices within it. It does not take bigger guns to win a war, but a stronger will than your opponent. It is will that moves the world. Hers is greater and She lends it to Him, that Her will be done, not His.
One must first make the choices of a Sovereign and then they will be treated as a Sovereign.
To be a free Sovereign, one must stand alone as a Sovereign upon principle with confidence and the will to stand upon that principle. It must know when to be still and when to take action, when to speak and when to be quiet, when to retreat and when to strike out. It cannot complain nor base it's rights upon past actions "I did this for you now you must do this for me", this is blackmail, setting a standard of needing to earn worthiness. One must know their worthiness and assert their rights based upon this alone.
Sovereignty does not need to be recognized or affirmed by anyone else-that would make it dependent upon others for it's sovereignty, thus losing it's sovereignty. Sovereignty does not declare it's sovereignty. We recognize sovereignty when we see it but it is not dependent upon our recognition for it to recognize it's own existence. Sovereignty does not imitate it's enemy to prove it's self like them their equal, or it becomes it's own enemy. It does not seek a place at the table because it does not wish to be one of those who sits at the table as a representation of it's right to exist. It does not sit as one of many, it sits as one among many. It sits alone at a table that may also be filled with other people.
The constitution does not give rights, it is simply stating an awareness of rights we have only if we ourselves are aware of these rights. It does not hitch it's wagons to others or join up with them, it simply walks with them for a while.

Good afternoon and thank you for writing.
Please bear with me as I describe my perspective/beliefs to you. Our country's founders, writers of the constitution, wrote that we have the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that these rights are God given and inalienable. I believe this to be true. Liberty, or freedom, is only present if responsibilities are appropriately assigned and appropriately taken. How my objections, based upon these principles, apply to my specific situation and the state's child support enforcement agencies follows:
In the State of Maine, I have 4 child-support cases. Two are in reference to my youngest children and involving one man who chose to be their father. This man was abusive and a danger to the children, so his rights have been revoked. The State of Maine, as an entity, however, is persuing a perceived responsibility to financially support these children. I find this imbalanced and a violation of the right to freedom, not only how it applies to him but especially as it applies to myself and my children. This persistence in an erroneous belief that he is responsible for financially supporting these children limits both myself and my children's freedom, safety and over-all well-being. I have a restraining order stating I do not need to notify him of our place of residency. Well, if the State of Maine persists, he will know exactly which state we live in and probably at least which county. This persistence by the state ties me to him if I am in a position needing state services, which also limits my liberty, freedom of movement without question. It endangers our lives, which it has no right to endanger but should instead be protecting. And it absolutely affects our right to happiness which would involve our freedom from association with him and support enforcement. I have every right to life-sustaining government services.
As for the other two cases; The State of Maine is persuing cases against me in violation of my God given rights which are also constitutional. I grew up abused and so logically only understood and got involved in abusive relationships. Two of my abusers, fathers to my children, got an illegally applied restraining order removing my children from my custody. (I have consulted a lawyer who is the one who informed me that the restraining order was illegally applied to my situation. She did not work in the circuit, however, so she herself couldn't help me with the case at the time). Knowing my ex did indeed have political connections, being undermined by my own family (which would only logically happen as they are abusive), and completely struck by PTSD, I gave up on everything. 10 years later I am still not allowed to visit my children as the visitation which is court ordered is not being respected by their fathers. All of my rights have been taken, thus it is my belief based on religious, political and intellectual conviction I absolutely have NO responsibilities concerning these children, most absolutely NOT "child support". And to ask that I pay these men to abuse my children is absolutely absurd, in my opinion. The government's involvement in these cases absolutely deprives me of the right to life (in the form of life-sustaining activities such as producing a livable income), liberty (freedom of movement due to threat of losing a driver's license and freedom to choose how any money I have coming in will be spent) and the pursuit of happiness which would be found in my own freedom and that of my children.
The child support ordered in the secondly mentioned two cases was based upon temporary employment through a temp agency and sum totaled more each week than a person of my employability would even be able to make. The amounts are unreasonable on that fact alone in the least. But add to that the fact that I have never been more than temporarily employed in my entire life due to PTSD, had the PTSD compounded by the manner in which my children were taken and thus I never will be employed gainfully according to this system again. This, however, does not mean I can be deprived of my inalienable rights to life(which would mean all required to sustain it such as food, shelter and clothing), liberty (freedom to travel, freedom from threats of violence and imprisonment, and spend any resources as chosen unhindered) and pursuit of happiness (which might include the right to own property).
Based upon these religious, political, and intellectual convictions, I ask that the State of Maine's Child Support Enforcement Agencies cease any and all activities on behalf of my myself and/or my children, their fathers, and it's self.
------------------------------------------------
Notice I simply note an agreement with the statement the constitution makes rather than a dependency upon it's statement for those rights. The government has claimed ownership of all resources (land and all on it and in it) and asserts those claimed rights with might. To live freely, one must find a way to avail one's self of the resources without provoking the might to be used against it. So one uses the loopholes to avail one's self of resources without sacrificing freedom until the might is taken from the government. This method has so far called off the might from it's uses, removing threat, resulting in freedom. I was guided into these loopholes. And that is the key to first learning subjection, we learn to allow ourselves to be guided where we might not want to go and we must learn to listen to what we are being told rather than what we might think the words are implying. Subtleties, in this game, are vital.
Another key is request without expectation. Expectation makes one dependent upon fulfillment of that expectation. It creates a sense being required to fulfill the expectation, a sense of obligation, being forced to fulfill the expectation. Assuming a request will be fulfilled is also missing the mark and a form of expectation. One must simply feel a assured within themselves that what is desired will be given in one form or another and then one be open to accept the fulfillment of the request in whatever form it has taken. Will includes willingness, not being strong-willed in being stubborn or rebellious because it is will which is the true might, stronger than any muscles, gun or bomb any man might aim at you.
Sovereigns are discerning when it comes to materialism and taking on dependents. Material things in possession require maintenance and can come to own a person more than the person owns them. Dependents or those in need of service/governing also can come to a point of owning a person. The main goal of a sovereign in taking on dependents is to liberate them, train them to become independent sovereigns themselves. Material possessions are also taken on with discernment.
In the end, a sovereign knows it is not obligated to give that which another has no right to take. And a sovereign knows it cannot be held accountable for what another had no right to commit.

Another letter I sent that needed writing:
May 30, 2013
Attn: (name), counselor
and (to agency where counselor is employed)
To whom it may concern;
In today's counseling session I expressed to Carol Ann my intent to not continue our relationship as client and councilor, stating my reasons for my considering it inappropriate as a responsible parent. Using coercive persuasion (a form of psychological abuse and manipulation to violate my own expressed will and intention) Carol Ann dismissed my request and made me another appointment.
During my intake I was led to understand it took two meetings to come up with a preliminary assessment/ "comp" assessment and a week to complete it. We have had our two sessions. I request a certified or notarized copy of that assessment and diagnosis, which I had previewed today in Carol Ann's office, be sent to me within the week or I WILL be suing for malpractice. I do have a dated document stating my intent to discontinue the relationship, verifying what was my intention to discuss during this very session.
(name)
(address)
Detroit, Me 04929
Added in handwriting:
P.S. and yes, this does mean I am cancelling the next appointment for 6/6/2013
It does occur to me that (counselor's name)'s boasting during our session about how she can play the system, do things her way within it, using the example of being able to influence Child Welfare for or against her clients at her discretion could be construed as an implied threat to me and my children. It also occurs to me that during our first session (counselor) over stepped her bounds, usurping my parental authority, in an incident where she counseled my children without my permission, demonstrating that her presence in our lives is indeed inappropriate, that she is professionally unfit, and that as a "mandated reporter", her perceptions cannot be trusted.
Reminder: The diagnosis was that my PTSD and anxiety are purely physiological; not emotional, mental/intellectual or psychological. The disability is in my body only.

Parental Example, our commandments to our children
What I realized about parental example: When I allow that which is bad for us in our environment just to accommodate what I believe is right about aspects of it, I tell my children that which is bad for us is acceptable and even necessary in our environment. To children, our examples are as potent as and serve as commandments. It is the basis by which they will judge themselves and thus be judged. In light of this, we will only allow types of people to be to us what our parents allowed those types of people to be to them.
