I must be misunderstanding you -- it sounds as though you are saying there
can be no such thing as a passive imperative.
Can't we understand the passive imperative to mean things like:
"allow yourself to be ..."
or even:
"prepare to be ..."
I am thinking, for example, of Jesus telling a demon, "FIMWQHTI" ("be
muzzled" (Mark 1:25).
Thanks, and sorry if I am misunderstanding.
