"Great battles lie ahead. I call upon all who love freedom to stand with us. Keep your faith staunch - our arms are resolute - together we shall achieve victory." - Gen Eisenhower
"We are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom." - George Bush
Many politicians and especially the candidates for the important positions ( president, premier etc. ) use in their speeches the word free and freedom. They use it and promise it because it is a very effective hook to get the attention of the public. And it is a very strong word which resonates within the mind of the people and makes them completely hypnotized and blind. We all want to be free but unfortunately at the moment our freedom exists only as an idea and belief that we are free. We are being told by our politicians and on the TV that we are free but this is done intentionally full us and it is used to control and manipulate us. And later we are ready to do many stupid and nonsense things in the name of freedom - even go to war and kill other people including innocent children.
Yes... we all want to be free. We want the freedom because we know that we are being oppressed.
Buy you know what ?
You will never be able to establish the freedom in the world until you understand how to be free in here. By saying "here" I refer to your body, your mind and your being. You are imprisoned by yourself. And thus for example:
- You cannot stop smoking cigarettes, take drugs and drink alcohol even though you have tried many times to stop it.
- You cannot stop watching TV.
- You cannot stop your addiction to masturbation and sex and watching porn.
- You cannot stop your craving for eating sweets and chocolates.
- You cannot stop drinking Coca-Cola and other sweet drinks.
- You cannot stop being jealous.
And the list can go on...
And on top of it you have been so brainwashed that you don't even see it as imprisonment and on the contrary you see it as freedom to smoke, drink and take drugs. But in the end you cannot stop it. You say that you want but you cannot.
And thus you think that you are free because you are being told so and through this your attention is being diverted from yourself towards some other meaningless event in the world. But in reality you are being imprisoned and the prison is your mind.
And thus remember that you will never be able to establish the peace and freedom in the world - although you desire it with all your heart - because you don't know how do it in yourself. And although you succeed sometimes, in the end it will be like giving up smoking hundred of times. The peace and freedom will be temporary and sooner or later it will be taken away again by somebody else.
Thus to be able to establish freedom and peace in the world on the permanent basis you must free yourself because only then you will understand what it means to be free and how to establish it practically.
