There are only two reasons why someone would tell you that you have done something wrong – either they have factual proofs to show you how to improve what you are doing, or they are fearful that what you are doing might take their power away from them.
On the other hand, we ought also question the authority of our senses. Reality, as we have evolved to perceive (sense and interpret) it, has taught us to be material beings. We have become slaves to matter, and that is authority we can do without.
