Getting past the authority vs autonomy dichotomy

i realized that i can post things which are short, instead of just keeping them on my 'blog ideas' page, so here's a thought:

"Our generation has a hard time with authority. In some ways it’s a healthy response to religious authoritarianism, but now we find ourselves in a postmodern age where autonomy is the highest value, and we’re struggling to articulate what could possibly be the nature of an obligation. What could possibly ground a Jewish life?"-R' David Ingber

P.eople and authority both emanate from God. I think that the apprehension towards authority is the feeling of imposition. Who is someone else to eclipse me in the authorship of my own life? It is a feeling of imposition, a compromise of our authenticity. Until we have an experience when the 'I' that's been feeling imposed upon gives way and experiences its groundedness in something deeper and more authentic; then the 'I' (ego) that was feeling compromised becomes the one that is imposing, distracting, inauthentic, and we subscribe to (ie 'write under') the deeper Source in which we're grounded, allowing it, as any inspired writer will tell you, to write through us. Some of us know this to be God, the Divine Whence. What was grounded has been revealed to be illusion, groundless, giving way to a rootedness in and beyond the Ground of All Being, which we permit to flow freely through us; Which commands in a way that, far from being imposing, is the very wellspring of authenticity. This is the ohl malchut shamayim, the Divine yoke- not a yoke of oppression, but like its root meaning 'to join,' or in modern terms, 'to plug in.'
