KNIGHTHOOD ON THE SELF


Historically, the institution of knighthood, and the female equivalent, damehood, stems from the holy orders that the Catholic Church established in the Middle Ages. The institution was transformed when the French bourgeoisie began to reward members of the Third Estate, first for distinguished service on the field of battle and later for civilian achievements.
In my mind, the confinement of knighthood on the self differs. I think of it as the reward you receive by divine right and in total readiness to serve yourself and then others. In this interpretation, you do not need anyone's approval to become knighted. You are the Knight maker, not the head of state, the king or queen. And it starts with an affirmation: I am the knight.
You must also recognize the place of the conscious, subconscious and superconscious (God Mind), and how they are connected. What you think and say consciously is immediately imprinted into your subconscious and is acted upon by the superconscious. Not being aware is actually where the trouble lies because people often joke themselves into all kinds of situations. It is said that the subconscious does not have a sense of humour. 
So if you affirm that you are a knight, you must think and act like it by constantly ignoring anything that does not fit into your sense of self. Simply put, guide your thoughts and words. I guarantee that it takes diligence. This is the extent of your control, the rest is beyond human understanding. This transcends religious affiliations.
Every human being has at least a million capacities within them. Imagine a million volts of intuitive elements cursing through you at every given time, begging to be let through. These capacities have been put in you by the God Mind. Geniuses tap into it. Good leaders do too, but these intuitive elements often remain wholly untapped for most. To do so, you must give in to the restless need to completely surrender to the belief that you are (knighted) before you can become anyone's knight (in shining armour).
