Hannah Arendt
“Rule by decree has conspicuous advantages for the domination of far-flung territories with heterogeneous populations and for a policy of oppression. Its efficiency is superior simply because it ignores all intermediary stages between issuance and application, and because it prevents political reasoning by the people through the withholding of information. It can easily overcome the variety of local customs and need not rely on the necessarily slow process of development of general law. It is most helpful for the establishment of a centralized administration because it overrides automatically all matters of local autonomy. If rule by good laws has sometimes been called the rule of wisdom, rule by appropriate decrees may rightly be called the rule of cleverness. For it is clever to reckon with ulterior motives and aims, and it is wise to understand and create by deduction from generally accepted principles.

Government by bureaucracy has to be distinguished from the mere outgrowth and deformation of civil services which frequently accompanied the decline of the nation-state—as, notably, in France. There the administration has survived all changes in regime since the Revolution, entrenched itself like a parasite in the body politic, developed its own class interests, and become a useless organism whose only purpose appears to be chicanery and prevention of normal economic and political development. There are of course many superficial similarities between the two types of bureaucracy, especially if one pays too much attention to the striking psychological similarity of petty officials. But if the French people have made the very serious mistake of accepting their administration as a necessary evil, they have never committed the fatal error of allowing it to rule the country—even though the consequence has been that nobody rules it. The French atmosphere of government has become one of inefficiency and vexation; but it has not created and aura of pseudomysticism.

And it is this pseudomysticism that is the stamp of bureaucracy when it becomes a form of government. Since the people it dominates never really know why something is happening, and a rational interpretation of laws does not exist, there remains only one thing that counts, the brutal naked event itself. What happens to one then becomes subject to an interpretation whose possibilities are endless, unlimited by reason and unhampered by knowledge. Within the framework of such endless interpretive speculation, so characteristic of all branches of Russian pre-revolutionary literature, the whole texture of life and world assume a mysterious secrecy and depth. There is a dangerous charm in this aura because of its seemingly inexhaustible richness; interpretation of suffering has a much larger range than that of action for the former goes on in the inwardness of the soul and releases all the possibilities of human imagination, whereas the latter is consistently checked, and possibly led into absurdity, by outward consequence and controllable experience.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“The first step to free yourself from Karma is to forgive yourself from the depths of your Soul.”
Heidi M. Morrison (Heidi Morrison Teachings)

“People can't be changed by writ or transformed by court decree.”
Charles Morrow Wilson, The Bodacious Ozarks: True Tales of the Backhills

“Divine decrees & wondrous words of hope & gracious life.
U spoke into my destiny & set my heart aright.
U lifted me & lowered me and loved me into place.
Now words & worship drop like rain from this saved & sheltered face.

Much praise & promise I deliver with utmost depth of soul.
Forvermore my song endures for U have made me whole.”
Michael A Dalton

“Never fear what cannot kill U.
Never praise what cannot heal u.
Never worship men who die.
Never crawl when born to fly.
Never heed advice from fools.
Never build with broken tools.
Never laugh when friends are hurt.
Never hide and then throw dirt.
Never doubt that GOD is real.
And, never be afriad to feel.”
Michael A Dalton

“Truth moves faster than a lie, decrees patterns in the Heavens, shows ingenuity by HIS Creation, and kindness each time the stars go to bed & the Sun rises with promises made in grace & set in covenant bloodshed; but, lean close for this Great Wonder is a KING who speaks soft & clear to humble hearts for HE never likes to yell.
Value HIS voice while it is still your choice to do so.

Blessings to all who seek to serve, live to love & bend low to bless those who can not yet stand tall; but soon shall soar high!”
Prophet Michael A Dalton
