“The nine-centered being is designed to have its own authority. It’s what I call wolf power as opposed to sheep; its own authority. Bow down to no other authority; none. Trust no other authority. None. This is what we’re about. If you cannot trust your own authority well, who are you?

Count all the authorities in your life—your husband, your wife, your dog, your kids, your parents, your friends, your colleagues, your employees, your bosses. How many authorities do you have in your life? How many times in every single day when you’re ready to go one way some other authority demands you go someplace else and you do.

For the seven-centered being it worked well that way for them, after all. They became very controlled and homogenized, very easy to manipulate. You can put a cartoon in a magazine and have a billion people get angry all at the same time. Homogenization is an incredibly powerful thing. It strips every one of their authority. It creates the mob. It’s so easy to manipulate, so easy to fire up, so easy to send blindly out in ignorance. Authority.

The nine-centered being is not about bowing down to any authority. Where do you bow down to authority? You don’t bow down in your body; you bow down in your mind because you’re afraid, because you’re uncertain. Because your mind has showed you over and over and over again that you don’t really have control even though you want control. And so you think that those people that look like they’re in control can be authorities for you. And because you’re uncertain about your particular ability to control your life then you look for authorities to control it for you to make you feel comfortable in your skin through somebody else’s authority.

It’s like that ultimate dumb question: Why do you love me? That is the ultimate dumb question. We’re not here at all to be subject to the authority of others. If there is anything to be learned about the nine-centered being is that the nine-centered being is here to be incredibly selfish.

And that does not mean we are going to be without love or friends or all of these things because that would simply be a deep misunderstanding. We’re here to be selfish in the sense that if we do not live out what is correct for us we are no good for the other, let alone for ourselves. That we’re not going to be able to distinguish between what is correct and what is not, what is good and what is not when we’re operating from this mental plane.”
