Redefining Freedom

Personal Freedom. 

During my spiritual awakening process, I learned many things about myself. In truth, I learned everything about myself. From surviving abuse to creating inner peace, I learned what made me uniquely me. 

Recently I realized that I was craving freedom. But not in the way I had defined it before. I was craving a new form of freedom. Awareness came that I had redefined what freedom meant to me. 

For a long time I defined “freedom” as being able to spend my time as I wanted to. Do the things I wanted to do, when I wanted, and how I wanted. It was a free-range version of freedom.

This past weekend, I realized that the freedom I was craving was to be myself. Freedom to be who I am authentically and unapologetically. At all times. In all situations. In all ways. I no longer had the energy or appetite for anything less than complete authenticity.

I came to realize that this blog and all these posts have been that for me for the past five years. This blog is where I am most authentic, sincere, and vulnerable. In my current life situation this blog is my freedom.

Another realization I had was how deeply this past year, and the deconstruction of my life, affected me. The deconstruction and dismantling left me in pieces. Now it seems we are discarding what no longer resonates. The bits of my personal architectural salvage that still resonate are being put back together to create a more authentic version of me.

With all this new awareness, I now crave that level of freedom in every area of my life. It feels as though it is time for me to create a life that ensures that I can be authentically me at all times and in all ways. And in every aspect of my life, not just my writing.

It’s time to move past all that blocks me from being my authentic self. It is time for the salvaged resonant parts to get put back together. It is time for me to rebuild a life that is authentically me.

The thing is, I have no idea how to do it. I can only do what I know to do, set the intention and follow my Divine and intuitive guidance. My life is fully co-created with Spirit and this rebuilding phase of my life is no different.

Spirit and soul tell me that new connections and opportunities are coming. Breakthroughs are coming. Rebuilding is already underway. 

Collective Freedom. 

These times we are living in seem to be asking us to be our most authentic selves and to seek freedom. We see the last vestiges of the old structures trying to hang on to a vision of a world that no longer exists. One that is no longer wanted by the majority. And we are watching the majority rise up and express themselves and their vision for the world in authentic ways.

Frogs and unicorns are dancing in the streets for freedom. People are rising up and asking to live their authentic lives within a respectful and loving collective. The collective is fighting to create a world of peace, love, wisdom, and abundance.

Pluto in Aquarius is supporting the collective and our desires to live free and express ourselves authentically. We are seeing it in the streets of our countries. We are watching the old die out and the new burst forward to take over with authenticity.

In the past these energies have inspired revolutions that allowed the collective to overcome repression by the ruling class. They were seeking freedom from oppression. This time is no different as we too seek life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Many of us see the world as abundant and have awareness of those who seek to hoard and cause harm. This fight for the common good and awareness of who is doing harm, is the path towards a more authentic expression of the collective.

We all seek to live the life we need, want, and desire to live. Our current sky supports what we desire. The universe, Spirit in all forms, supports love over hate. All are supporting our desire for authenticity and freedom. 

We don’t know what the world holds for our freedom. We don’t need to. The next step will show up for us when it is time to take it. For ourselves and the collective.

We can, though, focus on authenticity and freedom. Focus on love. We can push back on what doesn’t resonate. Spirit in all forms is supporting us. Together we will co-create the highest vision of our lives, of our collective.
