Symmetry runs throughout the universe because justice, equity, and fairness are such an essential aspect of God's character that they inevitibly must "leak out" of the Creator during the process of Creation and subsequently "stain into" His Creation. For each thing, there is a symmetric compliment that moderates and regulates its behavior. A more mundane way of saying this is that everything has a proper flip side to which it must, in some way, answer.
We may not be able to see "the flip side" of a thing, or detect it, or realize it, or recognize it yet, but it does exist.
Thus, despite all the talk and focus that leaders at all levels of society, both governmental and religious, obviously direct onto bible verses that teach submission to the exclusion of anything else, there is a flip side to submission. This exclusive focus on the one side of a symmetric complimentary pair has been so absolute and calculated that care has been devoted to ensuring that there is no name given to it. This leads one to think that the demand that men submit to superior authorities is absolute and cannot be contradicted, since one cannot even think of an opposing principle that is equally absolute that the superior authorities to which they must submit. Within such a paradigm, the only check on authority can only be superior authority. Where that superior authority does not speak, it may as well not exist, even though one can reasonably argue what that superior authority would say in specific circumstances.
Given the way the human mind thinks, that-which-has-no-name Cannot be Thought. Cannot be Spoken. Cannot be Discussed, Cannot be Acted upon. Cannot be Appealed To. Cannot Moderate, Cannot Contradict, and Cannot Control.
Thus, I beg the indulgence of my readers for contriving a name to label that-which-has-no-name, and show where it appears in Scriptures to counterbalance this unhealthy emphasis on submission.
