It is even possible for Domineering-People to "appear" in the form of "mystics" who are ostensibly "in communion" with "transcendent realities" that are "authoritative". Domineering people are usually willing to use "pretense" to "appear" to be "mystical", "spiritual" and/or to have "magical-powers" which "transcend-the-laws-of-science" that faithfully-describe how objects behave (or appear to behave) in-the-absence-of-coercion. How are we to recognize Domineering-People who are going-through-the-motions of being mystics? By looking for reliable signs that they are True-Lovers rather than Domineering-People! Domineering-People do not understand, respect or honor True-Lovers --- and so do not know how to pretend to be True-Lovers! Domineering-People may be domineering-leaders within religious gatherings and institutions; but it is highly unlikely that they will be doing what Jesus of Nazareth did with the religious institutions of his day; he worked to turn their world upside down by leading a rag-tag band of poor people acting as True-Lovers who offended the established status quo. They made real trouble, and they got into real trouble! They did not concentrate wealth or power in the manner of Domineering-Religious-Leaders. (c) 2006 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
