In
the game of chess, the most powerful piece, the king, has, in fact, the most
restricted mobility.
He can only move one square at a time in any
direction. But, it is not his adversary who imposes the said
restrictions but the members of his own court. His very defenders impede
his range of movement and action.
The message and lesson here should be
self-evident. Are we not the kings?
Regardless of how he has misused power
and freedom, the human is still regent of the Earth and the known universe?
Our
commitment and resolve is contained not by an adversary (alien or
other), as much as by our own ineptitude. It is our strategies, or lack of
them, that hinder resolution. This is the consequence of fighting
“principalities...in high places” without the correct discernment.
Perhaps,
we should heed the advice of Christ when he said resist not evil.
