Ever notice that the word “author” appears in authority?
To me this means that the person considered to be the authority is in fact the author of the reality that controls the people who see him/her as in charge. “In charge”…meaning charged up with energy, able to broadcast the light of God like a sun…a sun of god or son of god—take your pick. He/she who shines the brightest with the borrowed light of others freely given to him resulting from a poor choice made by the masses,…is a vampire—nothing more, nothing less.
All of this is the reason why the one who shines with their own light controls the whole world because he/she is a genuine Giver of Light that originates from Source/God/Divinity, this as opposed to being either the aforementioned Vampire Authority or the Ignorant Blood Donors.
Upon examination of all of this, it becomes evident that humility is needed to find God’s Light, lest one allow oneself to be considered a ruling authority figure that spends his time senselessly trying to attract the attention of ignorant masses and thereby stealing what little (if any) spark of a flame they possess. Isn’t this problem at the heart of all despots, selfish political rulers, murderous mob bosses, untalented “celebrities”, etc.? They spend all their time desperately trying to steal from the public, be it time, attention, power, approval sex or money.
Therefore if you are interested in ascending the heights up to God, be humble, especially if you are passing on your acquired knowledge and wisdom of God to students, beware of letting their silent or acknowledged consideration of you as an authority lead you into thinking that you are an end-all-be-all authority which can easily lead you to the ego-trick of becoming the selfish overlord Vampire just mentioned above.
Be humble about your acquired knowledge and wisdom of God and you shall receive it All utterly one fine day. And you shall be as a Sun of God shining Divine Light.
