Freedom

I am fascinated. The current search for new/old freedom fascinates me enormously. I see pictures of so-called "vaccination centers" in front of which people only "crave" to be vaccinated in order to be able to pursue their "old" life again. By the way, wasn't there something with accumulations without a minimum distance? 😉 Doctors' phone lines are overloaded and so many people can't wait to get their shots. And why? To return to "freedom". But what kind of freedom is that? Freedom to go shopping again. Freedom to sit “carefree” in the café again and sip a cappuccino. Freedom to meet friends again (how paradoxical that something like this can be forbidden and is accepted). Freedom to be able to throw holiday money out the window again to escape what is happening inside us. Longing for freedom that many even want to have their children vaccinated with something that they might not even put in the tank of their own car, just to be able to go back to "normal" life. And meanwhile, the sense of much-vaunted “solidarity” loses its flavor while (high-risk) people in poorer countries can't get vaccines as we discuss vaccinating children and adolescents in our snooty western countries. 

How do we explain this indescribable longing for this freedom, which we assume to be on the outside and rationality gets lost? Is it really what it seems or is it just an appearance? Psychologists and physiotherapists are booming. People rattle into burnout, child and youth workers can no longer help all children and youths because there are too many who have simply had too much in the last few months. People are feeling their physical and mental effects of "deprivation of liberty." Basta, enough, it's enough... flat...

We have been taught that freedom is on the outside and through this we will find freedom - be free! The system, the society, the art, … . Yes, that is one aspect. An important one in order to be able to develop as human beings. However, we forget that we can be locked up and still retain our freedom. Nelson Mandela is the best example of this. 27 years imprisonment, repression, imprisonment.

"I have learned that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The courageous man is not one who is not afraid, but one who conquers fear.” – Nelson Mandela

Now, with the current “yearning for freedom,” are we conquering our fears, or are we just suppressing them? Isn't it just a stubborn run away from what really wants to be seen? Is this the only way we are creating a space of creativity, openness, and community, or are we just too lazy to look at and realize new options?

Freedom on the outside is only the mirror of our inner freedom. And we do not gain this freedom by desperately clinging to something-again, but by breaking these old chains within ourselves and emerging victorious from this "struggle"! We can be chained on the outside but rest smiling in our inner freedom, knowing every moment that we are in charge of our own lives. We can learn that nothing and nobody can restrict, imprison or even torture us. Nothing and nobody but ourselves has this power and ability to do this. It is we, the spirit, the I, the soul that bears this responsibility and can decide at any moment how we want to live this life. Do we allow ourselves to be controlled, controlled and locked into guidelines that we blindly follow? Or do we not let it influence us and realize that we can break new ground because our inner life is just so filled with love and compassion? And as a result, outer life will be shaped in freedom again!

It's so easy and so hard at the same time! It only requires our openness to clean up within ourselves! It requires our decision to no longer deny ourselves and only want to see what we want to see from our personality! We can recognize ourselves for what we really are. A divine being of love - indestructible, always living in abundance and freedom! We are capable of being free in every moment because we were never unfree! God sent us to this earth as free beings with free will to achieve what no one can deny us! Inner freedom - inner peace! Are you ready to put this step into action? Can you transform your old beliefs and patterns? Not just "spiritually chattering", but actively making decisions that let you realize the infinite freedom you are and carry within you? Do you want to live it?

We are asked to stop reading, speaking, discussing, philosophizing and studying! We are asked to live, be, act and create the new world together! Out of our compassion, trust and love - out of fear, flight and denial! Say yes, yes to you, yes to life, yes to freedom, yes to possibilities, yes to you!

With all love,
