most people think slavery is chains and whips. But the most effective enslavement is through that of the mind, and convincing others they are lesser co-creators than you. Here is an interesting passage:
the last bit in bold is the telling point. One thinks first of the military, with it's severely defined hierarchy (you get court-marshalled if you disobey a direct order from a superior officer). But one can also think of modern companies/corporations, where your 'obedience' in the workplace is a given.
Quote:The relationship of such an entity to fourth-density negative entities is one of the more powerful and the less powerful. The negative path posits slavery of the less powerful as a means of learning the desire to serve the self to the extent that the will is brought to bear. It is in this way that polarity is increased in the negative sense. Thus fourth-density entities are willing slaves of such a fifth-density entity, there being no doubt whatsoever of the relative power of each.
87.8 Questioner: A reflection of this could be seen in our density in many of those leaders who instigate war and have followers who support, in total conviction that the direction of conquest is correct. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Any organization which demands obedience without question upon the basis of relative power is functioning according to the above-described plan.
