Most people talk about sovereignty like it’s an entitlement, something to take back or fight for or flee to find elsewhere. If you haven’t caught-on, fighting ‘out there’ just brings more fighting ‘in here.’ Fighting for freedom is an oxymoron. Fighting against anything just brings more of the same. If you want real freedom, then define it, be it, learn it, understand it and live it through your actions.
Sovereign-free with an inner monarchy and outer anarchy, according to Natural Law, doesn’t mean having nothing to do with or leaving the system and hiding in a bush or cave. If left unexplored, it is only a wishful possibility, a misunderstood concept that is ‘owed’ to you. It certainly is toyed by the mind and imagination, usually fueling reactions of anger, resentment, protests, defiance, destructive behaviours, rights and drama that lead men and women to believe they are accomplishing ‘freedom’ through fighting something out there. Freedom is not ‘out there’. It is in here, in you.
Sovereignty and freedom come with tremendous responsibility, which you have to be ready for and many don’t want. Not really, anyway. They prefer the drama and bitterness associated with freedom with the right to blame others, rather than the higher intelligence (emotional, mental and spiritual) and appreciation gained through the learning, which can put you in the driver’s seat rather than in the back seat of a cop car.
Freedom is not as carefree and freewheeling as most believe. Oh, sure, it can be, if you are still a child. But actual freedom comes with real responsibility and real consequences, both good and bad, and real commitment. Ask any war veteran. It’s the kind of responsibility that is all encompassing and that many people simply don’t want. It involves real thinking, critical thinking and actions. It even begs the question, “Who are you really?” And even more importantly, “Who are you not?”
If you want to reclaim your ‘person’ from the system, that will involve a certain level of mature, intelligent navigation and management that comes from education. Many simply can’t be bothered. The HOW is a process that forces you to think critically and to examine everything. I mean really think, and think critically as to who you are, why you do the things you do. Where did those beliefs or thinking come from? Are they working for you or against you? Who can I connect with to learn something better? New learning takes time to integrate properly. Are you seeing things correctly? Which lens are you seeing your life and the world around you?
You have to be ready for this. It’ll rock your world when it happens. And in my experience, the only way is to do the inner work to be able to align with the outer world properly when you’re ready to receive it. Not wanting to be governed by others means you have to be ready to take on the responsibility you’ve ALLOWED others to assume on your behalf. You have to take responsibility for ALL of you, and not simply the parts that make you look like a hero with the minimal amount of effort or learning. If you don’t have knowledge or the awareness that we have entered into a free society, a new realm of commerce and contracts, you are still captured or ‘enslaved’ by old beliefs and a system that is mirroring those old beliefs.
The outer world is a mirror for your inner world. Whatever you don’t like out there is exactly what you don’t like about yourself. The walls are closing-in in as much that what we have rejected about ourselves is being mirror back to us in society. Do you ever wonder why some people have experiences that you don’t? Do you ever wonder why the world around you is not as you had believed it was? Why your expectations are so off? Have you pondered or contemplated the lessons and learning our current situation is attempting to teach you/us? Have you asked yourself why you continue to expect something or someone out there to take better care of you when you haven’t been correct with yourself? No need to be angry, jealous, resentful or bitter. Everyone and everything is playing a role in this exquisite Divine plan... even the ones you’re seeing as corrupt, false and villainous. Each is allowing you the opportunity to exercise your free will. You cannot know HOW to choose if you have not experienced both ends of the spectrum; the good and the bad. If you don’t know the bad, how do you know the good is good? It’s this inner work towards correctness, alignment, morality and coherence that is crucial. It creates the clarity of the pathway forward in a new becoming within this new quantum realm.
But we judge both sides of the spectrum. We judge ourselves as ‘the good”, while judging the other as ‘the bad’. We don’t do the ‘bad’ because we would no longer be ‘good.’ For me, the judgement is the enslavement. The ego is the alien architecture and technology.
Now, I’m not talking about condoning any type of harm or force or violence. I’m talking about a moral compass that is correct for you if you haven’t explored the good and the bad within you. You simply cannot. You choose the ‘good’ which is socially accepted and you choose the ‘bad’, which is also socially accepted, and you assume it. That’s an old tribal thread or pattern. You then presume that everyone else is doing the same because you have been conditioned that homogenization is the ultimate goal. You allow the outer world to dictate to you what is morally good and bad based on those assumptions and presumptions from the system, without first examining them for yourself. And as long as you accept those assumptions and presumptions, you will continue to allow society, governments, corporations and outer authorities to enslave you through your projections into a moral definition of right and wrong, good and bad - their moral scope, which serves their agenda and your awakening. Nothing more.
Freedom and sovereignty are not about bashing what you perceive as the outer villain, authority or threat. You don’t have to be aggressive or destroy something or someone else to be free. The incorrect thinking, the old hegemonic way of thinking, believes it is, and it believes it is right. The outer villain is actually showing you that you have an active victim archetype deep within your shadow. The shadow is simply the unknown or rejected or forgotten parts of you. Slavery is already banned around the world. There are laws against it. So, why do you still have villains in your world? Why do you feel entitled? Or that life, your government, etc... owe you? It’s your victim speaking from deep within the bowels of your shadow. It wants to be acknowledged. It wants you to look at it, understand it and embrace it so it can empower you, not disenfranchise you.
It’s not about conquering, dominating or controlling what is out there in order to feel safe. If you want to feel safe, then feel safe. You are more in control than you think. It’s about taking control of what is going on inside of you so you can create the pathway you want in the outer world. You need to unpack it, understand it and embrace it to attain the clarity and the direction forward that is correct for you. Reacting is an unconscious act. If you react, you have been captured by something that owns you, already. By reacting, you don’t disassociate from it. Only by owning that part in you do you own the other half.
We have glorified the victim with drama and fed it with pity and attention. It has also taught us great compassion for ourselves and others, which has been a great step forward. But that’s not the end. We need to embrace it and allow it to teach us HOW to grow from it. It’s NOT about out there. It’s about your inner wiring and process that molds HOW you see the world and HOW you take action. The universe, the world and LIFE itself is happening FOR you not to you. It took me a long time to really understand this concept. So, be gentle, and most of all forgiving.
If you reject freedom defined by outer authorities such as, governments, institutions, organizations, corporations, parents, then spend some time really exploring what freedom means for you. What it looks like - what it feels like for you. Don’t assume you know what democracy is. We are seeing democracy in action. I don’t like democracy, do you? You don’t need democracy. You need to do the work to get clear as to who you are and what you want and take back responsibility for all of you. Sure, it’s work. But you have to do the inner work or LIFE will come along and force you to do it until you get correct with yourself.
Write it down. What it is and isn’t. Revisit it often by changing it, molding it, adding to it, experimenting with it, removing from it... until you have reached an alignment of the values freedom holds for you. Don’t wait for governments or democracy or corporations or whatever, to do it for you. Or, they will really do it TO YOU by doing it for you.
Doing inner work also involves releasing old patterns of thinking and conditioning. You can’t put new things in the closet if its jam-packed with old stuff you’ve outgrown or don’t use.
It’s also a good idea to engage the services of a good coach/facilitator. Maybe you’re grieving, feeling stuck or helpless. Are you seeing those blind-spots? Are you aware of the limitations, beliefs, thinking and blocks you’ve created for yourself? Everything is being mirrored all around you. You don’t need to beat yourself up. Reach out for help. Maybe you’re super frustrated because you want solutions but don’t know HOW to arrive to them.
Learn new ways of thinking, behaving, being and doing. Learn from people who have been there and gone through it. Some people, like myself, can advance swiftly on their own. But even I have used coaches in the past.
You’ll be more at peace with someone in your court, feel like you’re in the driver’s seat and able to have an understand and perhaps, better clarity through practical perseverance of what freedom feels like and looks for you. If you’re doing the same old, you’ll get more of the same old. If you want life to go BACK to normal, then you’re moving backwards and the system will give you the same old-same old. Remember, when you point your finger into the mirror, it points right back at you.
It’s important for me to be the very best I can be when receiving clients. For that to occur, it’s on-going, daily work. My energy needs to be accepting, concise and clear, and not belligerent, combative, defiant or destructive. But the truth that flows through me is, by its very nature, belligerent, at times. It does not have tolerance for falsehoods and lies, drama and deceptions. Perhaps that’s the reason people seek me out and appreciate the utility of my gifts - a hot knife in butter. It’s not for everyone, and I’m okay with that. But for those who have something new and wonderful brewing beneath the inner work they have been doing, my services may be a welcomed relief.
In staying the course with my inner process, the possibilities are infinite, which is how it should be in my world, anyways. I feel empowered, I feel alive, I feel abundant and I feel appreciation for having the courage to be a magnet for the inherent goodness in life, despite what is going on around me. I am not being cocky or in denial. I see the happenings and occurrences around me. However, I choose to focus my attention on engaging with life affirming, life restoring and life preserving projects, visions, environments, energies and people.
I realize these can be difficult concepts for many to grasp, and even embrace, especially with everything that is happening in our individual countries and around the world. The victim within, however, serves as a great teacher in capturing our attention, upon which our individual selves either stay trapped or choose a different course of action. If we don’t pay attention to the goings-on on the inside, we will be entangled by the outside.
The inner victim reminds us that our pain is our doorway. And I appreciate that for many, this doorway is to be avoided. The ego certainly doesn’t like this discomfort. And I know it can be tricky. The trickster was playing me at first. I kept thinking I was getting ahead through conquering others, especially men, but my great teacher kept pulling the rug out from under me until I got it. The victim stays loyal for good or for bad. It is impartial. But once you get it, it can open up so many doors within you and outside of you. This willing victim operating in the shadow is our great teacher, our great attractor and our loyal companion.
A favorite among my male clients is that they want to SKIP the teachings of the inner victim archetype and get straight to the HERO. More often than not, they get taking to their knees, over and over again. That’s always a good one. You don’t have to. It’s just inner wiring, understand and practice. When they get, though, their world starts to rock. The inner victim is no longer a fault or defect, but a utility.
As a facilitator-coach-catalyst, I have been through the process and continue to journey through it. Change is not static. It is not finite. It is forever flowing, never ending and forever expanding, especially if you understand the mechanics of HOW the quantum field works.
