You Are Born To Be Free
You Are Born To Be Free
The urge for and the need for true freedom is integral to the human heart.
Since the dawn of creation freedom has been a defining force of life that has guided the evolution of consciousness.
Philosophy and religion sometimes associate freedom with free will. I too believe freedom is a Divine Right and necessary to the Divine element of life that is Free Will.
From the first breath of creation the very first man and the very first woman had freedom and more importantly, free will.
The omniscient wisdom of the Creator knew that without freedom and free will all that life means could not be achieved.
That makes freedom a cornerstone of human evolution. That makes freedom something worth fighting for, something worth dying for, and more importantly something worth demanding from governments.
Freedom has within it the element of choice. The freedom of free will includes the right to choose good and the right to choose evil. If you look at a long ark of human evolution you will see the forces of freedom inextricably woven into the Cosmic battle of good vs. evil, right action and right relationships vs. tyranny.
The urge for freedom is part of the heart, the mind and the Soul of every creature ever created by the Creator because it is woven into the choices you must make in life.
-Genevieve Gerard
Not only does life require you to choose between good and evil, but also to choose between love and hate. It may be said that those choices not only define you, but they define the life you will live.
Freedom and its companion free will are essential to the fulfillment of the purpose and destiny of your life. I believe that your destiny is to choose Love. I believe that Love is the only thing you can create in life that is eternal.
I believe that God is Love and the nature of your Soul is Love, so by choosing Love you are transported from what is impermanent to what is real and eternal. This is ultimately the choice that life supports. That is ultimately the choice for which freedom and free will exist.
You Have the Choice To Do What Is Right For Humankind
Civilizations, governments, societies, are all engaged in choice and the challenge to do what is right for humankind. Freedom is an essential part of empowering you to make that choice freely. Choosing love over hate, good over evil, are all elements supported by freedom.
Of course, people do not always make the right choices, the choices that reflect love, the choices of goodwill. We need only look at the harm of selfishness and greed to observe that. But I honor the importance of the freedom to make that choice. I honor the civilizations, societies and governments that support freedom.
Men and women across this planet are committed to supporting freedom. They are choosing love over hate, good over evil, kindness and compassion over cruelty and selfishness.
It is only where humanity has freedom can the evolution of all of humanity make progress in the Divine Plan of evolution to fulfill our Divine purpose.
Freedom is the Cornerstone
Freedom is the cornerstone of the political system known as democracy. Democracy took a giant step forward when the Founding Fathers of the United States of America formed a representative republic that became a beacon of Light of the principles of right governance.
Influenced by philosophers of the ancient Greeks, and the more recent voices of the philosophers of what was known as the Age of Enlightenment, those dedicated to forming a “more perfect union” examined and explored what made governance work.
The philosophic principles imbedded in the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson “We the People” spoke to the power of people when granted freedom. The United States of America Declaration of Independence also spoke of freedom as an inalienable right granted to humankind by their Creator. In that Declaration of Independence lies the declaration for people everywhere to reject tyranny.
Indeed, quickly on the heels of the American Revolution came the French Revolution and the changes in the British Parliamentary system which advanced and impowered freedom in the lives of the citizens of those lands.
Indeed, the cry of the French Revolutionaries of “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” became synonymous with the urge for freedom. And although the revolutions of the United States of America and the French are in the long past, unfortunately, the battle between freedom and tyranny continue in the world today.
William Faulkner once said, “We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.”
Not all governments grant their citizens freedom. Tyranny remains a temptation of political leaders around the world. Human freedom must be won and defended as the will of the people and a right of the people whenever and wherever subjugation and tyranny raise their ugly heads. Freedom is a Divine right and a birthright of the human spirit, but it must be defended.
It is only with freedom can humankind demonstrate the free will of decision and choice that is essential to the Cosmic battle of good and evil. It is only with freedom can humanity choose love over hate.
In the adventure of life each individual is faced with decisions and choices. That is the purpose of freewill. But freewill can only be fully demonstrated and expressed in an environment of individual freedom.
Principles of right action, right human relationship, harmlessness, and right speech are endemic to the human experience. Choices between love vs. hate is perhaps one of the most profound and life structuring. Ironically that choice influences the life experiences of fear vs. peace, kindness vs. compassion, and ultimately forgiveness vs. resentment.
All of these diverse life experiences are a matter of choice which you must have the freedom to make.
Of course, as a spiritual teacher I encourage you to choose love. That choice influences so much and many aspects of life. Choosing love, living love, being loving are woven into so many life experiences that are fundamentally important and positive that choosing love becomes the portal to a life of happiness and contentment. Ponder On This.

Free Exercise For Freedom
Take a deep breath. With that breath let yourself relax, releasing all that has ever come before as you come into the power of right here and right Now.
In the power of NOW is complete freedom. The freedom to create the life you desire. The freedom to change. The freedom to forgive both yourself and others.
You are neither bound nor limited by the past. Right here, right Now your life is before you as a clean slate.
Nothing that has ever happened before limits you or restricts you. You have the freedom to be and become all you are meant to be. You have the freedom to claim your destiny. You have the freedom to change.
Within freedom is the Divine spark of Light that is your Soul. Connecting to your Soul invites you and empowers you to your co-creator relationship with the Divine. That is a power you are granted as a Child of God who is also the Child of Man.
Take another deep breath. With that breath let yourself relax even further and let it sink in that you are the director of your life and your freedom.
