FREEDOM
Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hinderance or restraint. That is the ultimate power for an individual. That is why we are all on earth. It is endowed in each and every one of us. Watch a baby how before they can say a word, they want to crawl and in some cases run away from their parents. Look at adolescents wanting their freedom to explore and make their own decisions. Same for teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors. Nobody likes to be told what to do. We all want to explore and grow on our terms. And, we wonder why there are so many divorces. If couples only understood that love is freedom. You can be in a wonderful, loving marriage like I am but understand that you both need your individual freedoms. To me that is true love and respect. Just because you are married does not mean you lose your freedom. In fact, it should mean more freedom. Freedom is life. I used to bungy jump and ride motorcycles because I love the feeling of being free. As the chorus to the Tom Petty song, "Free Falling," states, "And I'm free, I'm free falling, Yeah I'm free, free falling…" It is human nature that we do not want to be confined. Our soul or spirit within is the same way. I hate to break it to you but our soul cannot wait for the day where death will free it from the confines of the body. But, while we are here at this time in history, we have an obligation to contribute to our souls' needs. So it begs the question, how do we do this?
To me, the answer is clear. But, I also understand that I feel this way because of my years of reading and studying the power of the mind which led to my enlightenment. Listen, I understand that some may think that this is all bogus. All I can say is that I respect everyone's belief's and that I am not attempting to sell anything or convert anyone into a religion or any other organization. I absolutely love writing and sharing ideas. I believe my studies on this topic and, I enjoy sharing them with the readers. If I can make a difference to a person, in time of need, I have succeeded. So back to the aforementioned question, on how we contribute to our soul's desire? We need to understand that we are all part of a universal mind. Call it as you want. Some call it universal power, energy, god, Christ, etc... We are all connected to the universal mind. No one person has more or less of this universal mind. We all have equal access to it. The geniuses of yesterday, the inventors of today, to the homeless person on the streets, we are all connected to the universal mind. The only difference is in understanding this power that we all posses and using it. The individuals that understand this and use this unlimited power, are constantly in a creating mode and thereby feeding their soul's with the necessary freedom it requires. This power associated with universal mind is something that you can connect to anytime, anyplace and anywhere. It is that simple. You see, thoughts, working through your mind makes the world you chose to live in. There are many individuals that think they are free but in reality they are living in bondage. They are living at the beck and call of others. I personally know of many individuals who are constantly living in fear that they will get terminated from their employment. The way I see it, if they were to get terminated from their employment, it will open up other bigger and better opportunities. So, in the words of General John Stark, Live free or die!" I leave you with a poem on point titled, "Love is Freedom."
"I can't live without loving you. But, I can't live without my freedom also. When your love became a cage, tying my wings, I chose my freedom over your love to fly. If you miss me, if you wish to meet me, meet me in the sky flying with the freedom. Meet me if you also want to fly. But, this time holding my hand. Never try to make a cage for your love. You forgot, love is freedom. It can't breath in a suffocating cage."
