Considerations
You see, at least a sovereign knows they have choice - whether or not they choose to OBEY. In the dualistic world, there is NO chance that you can change most things. (For instance; some will tell you, if you no longer have control of private property, your life is but a lease granted to you by the government. Such a situation does NOT mean you cannot be sovereign, for your choice has been temporarily blunted).
Here is the real lay out of what it means to be sovereign:
You know that thoughts are mostly provided to you.
You choose to think and pay attention to what you choose.
You choose your reactions, behaviors, actions, and plants to feed upon within the botanical microcosm.
