Even with that qualifier, I'm still wondering, "How is this not simply authoritarianism?" I'm all in favour of getting to a nice, quiet place internally. But emotions=drunkenness (lack of self-trust!), commands ("sit down"), and scary threats ("edge of the roof")…? Alt interp?

I wouldn't say that it is "simply authoritarianism" ... but it is a command; issued from a *hopefully* wise, level-headed, logical leader/guide — toward someone who is not thinking clearly — acting against their best interests, or against the health of the society/environment.
