In stillness there is freedom, a state where we are no longer caught in the pain of the past or in fear of future events. Freedom is intimately connected to sovereignty, because free people are harder to control than those who live in fear.
And what do we fear? That our wealth will be taken away, and with it, our comforts? That the institutions we rely upon will crumble, leaving us to fend for ourselves? That distractions will disappear, and we will have to face our demons?
It is said that a human’s greatest fear is being cast out of the tribe. But what if that is where true freedom lies? What then?
We are entering a period when we all must decide whether we live in a state of sovereignty, or under a system of top-down control with its promise of safety. When the middle of the road disappears, and there are no more fences to sit upon, we will all be required to choose a side.
And there’s no better place from which to make such a profound choice than in the still depths of our own being.
