Freedom
Dear Ones,
Freedom… what does this word evoke for you? What does freedom look like in our lives? How do we experience it in our families, jobs, communities, country, and the world? It will mean different things for each of us, depending on our individual circumstances.
We may strive for equality, but in reality, we each have been raised in unique systems, conditioned by generations of ancestors whose own experiences dictated behaviors for survival. With this also came rules within systems that have governed and shaped our lives.
Thus, with the current crisis unfolding, we will each be responding from this deep unconscious shadow conditioning, so ingrained in our being that it has dictated to us completely different realities.
As this narrative reflects its old paradigm (an accepted story), many will feel terrified. Intense emotions are rising as our outer world falls apart. We feel the chaos as the tower is collapsing, bringing fear, sadness, anger, terror, rage, and overwhelming anxiety, or alternatively, apathy, disconnection, and detachment.
Our security is being threatened by a massive change over which we feel we have no control; a way of being appears to be dying. In essence, we are moving through a death process. With this, always comes new birth, the phoenix rises from the ashes.
Freedom is rooted in 'Hope” and 'Independence.” Deep within our bones, the memory of freedom lives on. We are now at an evolutionary stage in our development where many of us have healed enough to no longer seek outward for our freedom. We are choosing to trust our inner knowing, which is rooted in love, diversity, kindness, equality, and interdependence.
As we heal and transform our conditioning by seeking truth within ourselves, we become independent beings. Yes, we find our independence. As Gandhi stated, "There is a force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results."
With independence, we discover purpose—a sacred purpose that guides us in choosing the next right step for all our brothers and sisters to be free. We follow the breadcrumbs to take that next step, which is our unique calling to bring peace to the world.
We as individuals and as a community will continue to pursue it; it will prevail; the path of the universe always leans toward justice.
Hope to see you soon!
Much Love,
Carley and John
