Freedom

Motivation
ALBERT EINSTEIN
All religions ,art and sciences are
branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are
directed toward ennobling man'smlife,
lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence
and leading the indivituals towards freedom.
........ Personal freedom is liberty from the restictions
of social oppression and the tragic self-oppression that is fear.
Freed from things, we have the ability to
express who we truly are and
pursue what we deeply desire
without restriction set by others or ourselves.
When experiencing Personal Freedom, we have a heightened sense of gennuineness
and joy in our being.We feel unbounded, independent, and self-reliant. There is
palpable authontici and aliveness in how we relate to others and contribute the
world.
Personal Freedom-our goal-means
living freely by crafting a life on our own tearms;
being free in the moment from oppressions, of
past hurts and present anxieties;
being lighthearted and spontanneous as free spirits;
courageously speaking our thoughts ,feelings, and
ambitions with those around us, without concern
about acceptance;
enjoying our free will to pursue abudant happiness,
wealth,health,achievement, and contribution;
freely loving whom we choose with passionate abandon;
standing freely on our own,professing and protecting
our ideas and integrity;
serving a mission that we have chosen;
fighting to give our children a foundation in such freedom,
building in their hearts the will to live as they choose so that
may meet oppression with courage, and opportunity with a virtuous
intent to contribute.
Can anyone deny that these are things are things all humans desire and
strive for?
The call for indivitual freedom as the great human drive has been
expressed for centuries by revolutionists, humanitarians,philosopher,
and spiritual leaders.We have heard its essence voiced as the inalienable
right of humankind to think for ourselves, to speak our minds,
pursue happiness,seek peace and prosperity,and sing to our own conception of
the Divine without the conformity imposed by small minds or our own
small-mindedness.
Outside of tyrants oppressing their people through fear,this common
argument is made across most modern cultures,political movements,
and areas of human study:
each of us, every indivitual,ought to have the right to happily and
peacefully move our lives forward without fear or hurt or imprisonment
or arbitratary social constraints.
We inherently know that, when controlled by others,life loses its
flair and we are cast into meloncholy and mediocrity.Without such
strivin for individual freedom,what becomes of us?We relinquish our
free will to a society ofstrangers that speaks not of liberty and courage
but of conformity and caution. Our true self is subjugated and a pseudo
self emerges, a mere reflection of a society that has lost its way.
"They" start running our lives and soon we are not "us"anymore just
walking zombies filled with the command of others' preferences and
expectations.
We become those masked souls who spend their time wandering in a
wildernesses of sameness and sadness.We become tired and weak.We
lose our nature.And then we see the worst of human behavior-a mass of
people who donot speak up for themselves or others but rather do only
what they are told.
When freedom is gone,suffering sets in for all.
Why freedom pull so tightly at our hearts?
It is because freedom is tightly bound to the human desire for ascension
our natural drive to rise from our circumstances and actualize our goal,
our potential, our highest self.
All things that make life worthwhile to great men and women-the
pursuit of happiness, challenge,progress,creative expression,contribution
hard-won wisdom, and enlightenment-derive from our wanting to ascend
to higher levels of being and giving.
Every human has a natural inclination to ascend to higher planes
of existence,but it rests upon each of us to match that inclination with
real initiative.We must remember that freedom can be achieved only
by diligent will and volition. Seeking to ascend in life takes grit and
resolve,struggle and courage.
That it is for now. Thank You for Reading
