The Importance of Obedience
Obedience comes from ancient verse for hearing, for listening and being attentive. It seems to be or it can be broadened out into a kind of attentiveness to reality as reality is. Accepting that the real world isn't purely a theatre for your own wish-fulfillment... learning to love those limits and exist within them is obedience. The title was obviously difficult to stomach and became associated with the kind of anti COVID anti-vaxx kind of stuff. But ultimately, I think it's really about, you know, accepting the nature of things, which is partly metaphysical event, just being biology.
