A calm and peaceful evening to every being.
May her divine magnificence brighten up the world.

The wonderful thing about living in total devotion is that I no longer have to think about who to believe, who to follow, who to respect. I reject all attempts to rule over me, other than by the deity that I have decided to worship.

The holy word sets out a clear concept for this:

direct theocracy
when you don’t need
some weird status apparatus
because your deity as your absolute,
infallible and unquestioned authority
is right among you.

yes, goddess.
There is no need for anything, other than your word.
Your approval, your rejection, your command, your guidance is all that counts.
In fact, I have rejected an attempt to determine my life through bureaucratic processes today. State bureaucracy has no say in how I think about my life - only you do.

I’ve once described her ways as “wholesome totalitarianism”, and this description still fits. Her rule over me is total - and not in the sense that she would give me a lot of direct instructions, but in the sense that every word she says can easily alter any part of my mind. Compared to this remarkable power, the attempts of everyone else around me to justify their self-perceived legitimate authority over me feel absolutely pathetic.

There is no need for officials, no need for titles, ranks, or any sad attempts to formalize power structures. She is right among us. She has taught me that I am equal to all those other mortals around me - that means that she, as a perfect divine ruler, is the only and ultimate authority above me.

Thank you, goddess, for reassuring me of your rule.
Thank you, goddess, for letting me find happiness and bliss in this simple structure for my life, the life that I have dedicated to your worship.
Thank you, goddess, for your wonderful and caring ways.
Thank you, goddess, for ruling over me.
