Chapter 11-Freedom
Freedom is a powerful word and it evokes powerful images within each of us. To each of us freedom may be something different.
Freedom is a need and it may express itself in many ways to many forms of life, not only human life. Freedom may be expressed as:
The need to be free as a falcon.
The need for family.
The need to hunt.
The need to kill or be killed.
The need to fly and soar.
The need to find our own true will.
The need to live and die with honor.
The need to be true to ourselves at all cost.
The need to live according to our conscience.
The need to find the Master Within.
When we grant others personal freedom and respect we have the right to demand the same freedom and respect be granted to us. There is a great difference between the concept of live and let live and this concept.
In the freedom concept we acknowledge that others have a need to act in the manner they choose. We also acknowledge we have a need to act in the manner of our choosing. Most importantly we acknowledge the dynamic necessity of each of us living in the same world.
The concept of live and let live is passive and carefully avoids the placing of value or morality on any type of life. It denies the need for any conflict in life. In the use of this concept we avoid the need of giving our support to others. This concept is one of withdrawal and isolation. Live and let live does not work.
Each one of us is a unique individual. We each have personally experienced things others have not experienced. We know some things from first hand experience others only speculate about.
The people and environment in my life are different from those in anyone else's life. The differences exist even to those closest to me because my world is seen through my eyes and their world in seen through their eyes.
Everyone must walk a unique and individual path in life. One person's weakness may be another person's strength. There is no way to say that any one path is better than any other path.
Nature has ordained all paths must be walked so we may discover which paths are the best. We must be able to be supportive of those that walk a path different from ours. This is especially true when someone's path is in conflict with our own.
The concept of live and let live does not allow or encourage this support of others. The concept of allowing each to have personal freedom does allow this.
There is a need to acknowledge the rightness of competition. There is a need to be able to say "may the best man, woman or team win." There is a need to acknowledge the dynamic vitality of life. There is a need to be united in the mutual need for freedom as opposed to just passively letting everyone do their own thing.
There is a need to become involved in the lives of others and in community. There is a need to create an environment where others can flourish in a supportive atmosphere. There is also at times a need to tell others to back off and alter certain behaviors that are disruptive. At times there is a need to confront others. There is at times a need to fight for what we believe in.
The concept of live and let live is a subtle erosion of our personal freedoms. It does this through passiveness and through the withdrawal and isolation it encourages.
If we make an important discovery, develop an important product or have a talent we wish to share with others we must project ourselves outward into the rest of humanity and let our voice be heard. This is not live and let live. This is actual impingement into the private lives of others.
This is having the effrontery to dare to contribute anything of value to the human race. This is caring enough to try making a difference in human affairs. This is the opposite of live and let live and it is vital if humanity is to progress.
We must support each other in the fulfillment of our individual needs. Each path is difficult. Finding our true path is often the hardest thing we have to do in life. Often we learn through the process of trial and error and our failures in life. We must be allowed the freedom to experience our own failures as well as our victories. We must be allowed to do the wrong things or attempt to do the wrong things and be smashed down in consequence. We must be allowed to smash those that would harm us or our loved ones.
We must be allowed to assert our desires and our beliefs so that others can interact with us in appropriate ways. We must allow others the right to assert their desires and beliefs so we can interact with them in appropriate ways.
Each person must be allowed the freedom to go after what he or she wants in life. We must be allowed to compete against others in open competition. We must each know we have the right to change our world for better or for worse through the choices and actions we choose. We must each know we will kill if needed to protect those persons, ideals and things we love.
In the open acknowledgment of this we will grant each other respect and tolerance and if the time comes when we must fight we will fight as brothers or sisters. When we die it will be with honor and dignity knowing that our voice has been heard and that we have made a difference. We will know we have given our best and we have died free.
The great enemy of freedom is external authority. Freedom comes from within us. External authority is any person or thing we surrender our own power to, anything outside ourselves that we submit to.
We each have the sacred right to live according to the voice of our conscience and not according to external authority.
There is a major force in our lives that always attempts to control our lives and destinies. This is the main external authority in our lives.
This force is our social obligation we must pay simply by being a part of humanity. This force is known as the will of the collective and is an external authority. We must force a compromise with this tyrant that is a win-win situation. This force is not in our best interests. We must never allow ourselves to believe the collective will of humanity is in our own personal best interests. Its only purpose is the best interests of humanity as a whole and it will always sacrifice individuals for the greater good of the whole if it is allowed to do so.
In a form of paradox we contribute the most to the advancement of the human race by being individuals to the greatest of our ability. When we follow our inner authority, the Master Within, or the voice of our conscience, humanity advances. When we demand to be free the human race becomes free.
When we demand obedience to the collective everyone is enslaved. We become sacrifices for the good of the people. The collective will of humanity is an enemy to personal freedom and it always will be. It is stronger than the individual and always will be. We can resist the collective with all our will and all our might and the best we can hope for is a win-win situation.
By resisting the collective we can force a win-win situation and force the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual growth and evolvement of the human race. This is the appropriate goal of the Master. In this manner the human race evolves into new stages of awareness and being.
It is in the fighting of a battle we know we can't win that we truly become Masters in life.
We become Masters when we make a difference in the world. Our lives and our efforts can count toward the advancement of humanity and the advancement of all life on earth. It can do this only if we are free!
