Faith and Freedom Are Illusory

Freedom is wonderful. I enjoyed it for a long time. When I remembered a statement I heard in an organizational development workshop several years back, I changed my tune about freedom. At the time I heard the statement, I suppose its tug on my heart was too much to handle; I didn't have language of my own nor depth of feeling in place to investigate, so I put the thought on the back burner.

Freedom is an illusion until it is not. I am not free until all global sisters and brothers are free, too; free to eat properly without wondering where or when their next meal is coming from. Reports reveal 2-3 billion of the 6 billion or so Earthlings are experiencing poverty and death from starvation while I spend money to remain online, and to write these words so you can read them.

All I have to do to see the truth about hunger is go on the 'net to read sites explaining how females all over the Earth are freely giving to other females; who in turn nurture and physically help the hungered while peace is present or not; who educate females who were raped after their husbands were stricken down by men lusting for more property and its resources.

What I might call freedom is the ability to spend money; to write and post my thoughts; to walk, talk, go where I wish, do as I wish, create income, and so on. Everything I choose to do, outside bodily functions, requires cash or credit. Earthlings who live in freedom, peace, and comfort have been granted such by way of governments' concealed debtor schemes for unpeaceful productions in other places. See The Gold Crush.

I want to believe someone is in the face of those who have for generations engineered unpeace and impoverished territories, and that someone might be Professor Muhammad Yunus. Reportedly, he has helped many poor women and men become entrepreneurs with his bank's classification and function of microcredit. Visit http://www.grameen-info.org/

Faith is an illusion, and I thought to replace it with hope, but hope is still another illusion. It seems Earthlings have been misguided to succumb to wide ranges of illusions put into practice by greedy means, which have insinuated humans' separateness from one another. Some of the collective us already knew while some of us have only discovered that we are not separate but one.

Merchants of fear-based illusions could get away with their goings on until universal energies were used to expose a deeper level of consciousness: an awareness in which humans could witness how we are treating ourselves. The Internet provides that deeper awareness, and the electronic source will do so until it fades into its empathic replacements. Many merchants might display their dismay before all is said and done.

So, playing with the idea of faith, my bet goes on the energies of the physical universe, their Source, and the marvels Earthlings can create to help each other rather than illusions of freedom created by misuse of those energies for unreasonable profits.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
