I think it comes back to the archetype of experience, depicted as a king on a throne. This is the epitomization of authority. But at the same time, and more fundamental to recognition of legitimacy, it's nobility and sovereignty. One becomes ennobled, sovereign and authoritative though experience.
It is impossible to appreciate or to recognize authority without authority.

Yes and each Self can choose whether they intentionally push the authority they built for their Self on other-selves or if they only apply it to their own Self.
That is the kind of freewill we are here to exercise.
