Freedom Fighters

It is the most precious commodity in all of human history, more sought after than any treasure and more valuable then any jewel, precious metal, or priceless work of art. It has been traded, bought and sold. It has been fought for, killed for, and died for. It has been sought after since the dawn of time. It is freedom. Every race, every religion, nation, group, and every person wants to be free. We want to be free to live our lives the way we want. Slavery has existed for hundreds of centuries. People have been in bondage, traded and sold as a commodity. Races and religions have fought for their freedom. The original 13 colonies of the United States fought to be free. There are millions of people still fighting today to be free. Freedom fighters exist all over the world trying to overthrow oppression, socialism, and communism. The war on terror rages on. The Israelites of Jerusalem fight everyday defending the Promised Land. Freedom of speech and democracy wish to spread to every corner of the Earth so that humanity can live free or die, but is there more death than freedom? Hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands die fighting and trying to be free. But no matter how much “freedom” you or your nation has, are you still really free?

The human race causes more deaths then any natural or unnatural cause. The idea is there for democracy: live free, choose your own leaders, have a voice, freedom of speech, religion, race, and gender... but yet people are still dying. They’re dying just trying to live free. Every group of people who wishes to be free tries to prove why they deserve to be. Yet someone else always seems to have a different idea. This is just the overall global picture. The fight for freedom does not end there. Looking around us, we may think we live in America, and have a good life, but are we really free? Look at the small picture. Look at your family, your friends, and your neighbors. How many Americans are not "really free"? How many children are controlled by their parents? How many adults are still controlled by their parents? How many husbands and wives are controlled by their spouses? How many teenagers are controlled by their peers? How many souls are on this good Earth now feeling trapped in some way by someone else, be it government, religion, or their own friends and family? But do others actually control us, or are we really controlled by ourselves – controlled by fear?

We are starving. Starving our life energy and depriving our souls of the one thing it needs most. The human race has been fighting the wrong war. The war for freedom is not the duty of any country, any religion, or any race. The fight for freedom must come from within us. Humanity needs to be freed, but it is not the freedom of physical bonds that we must now strive for and it is not the body that is the slave –  it is the heart, mind and soul. It is time for the human race to be free, to live free, the way God intended. Not the life our parents want for us. They are captives of the past just as we are, born into the slavery of the world around them. Were the ever really given a true chance? They were born into a world of oppression, of an oppressed spirit in a world of rules, regulations, and limits set by governments, religions, and parents, and their forefathers before them. All born into the bonds we have cast upon ourselves so long ago that the world no longer remembers how to truly live in peace and harmony – in true freedom.

There is only thing that truly remembers real freedom – our soul itself. Eons ago it did indeed live free on this Earth, and the soul remembers the freedom it has in Heaven. It keeps coming back in the hopes that the body and the mind will remember, will awaken, and will cast off its chains and let the soul live free on Earth. And when it does, humanity will return to Eden, discover the Promised Land, Shangri-la, Nirvana, and the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is time to live life as it was intended, as the creators of our own lives and destinies. Not to live the life our forefathers built, but expand upon it and rise above it. We are grateful for the courage and sacrifices they made. We are grateful they have paved the way for us. They helped prepare the world, by fighting one fight at a time for freedom. But was it enough? Has it gotten us where we should to be? Is the human race truly happy in this technological revolutionized world? Is anybody truly, deeply happy with this world, or are we still confined by all the rules placed upon us? Are we all still afraid to truly express ourselves? Are we free from criticism? Are we free from judgment? Do we even know each other? Do we know our own friends and our own families and their wishes and desires? Do we even know ourselves? Until we do, we cannot truly live in “the land of the free.”

We need to finally become the home of the brave, where truth shines in every corner of our hearts, and we are not afraid to be and express everything we are and everything we dream to be. We will create a world we are no longer afraid to live in because we will have finally made peace with ourselves. We will have set our hearts free.

The human race has been fighting the wrong war on freedom. It is time for a world of Truth, Love, and Understanding. It is time to set the soul free.
