When you have your heart and gut aligned, you become curious to learn more.
But how can you learn to free your mind from the countless mental prisons we have been born into?
How can you fully activate your mind?
Not your brain, but your mind.
The conceptual formation, mental structure and cohesive thought process that is you.
The part of you that is capable of deep self awareness and consciousness, that has great comprehension of yourself and relationship with the outside world.
How do you become independent, autonomous and free?
How do you become sovereign?
What Is Sovereignty?
It doesn't matter who sits on the throne.
It's the idea of the throne which is the problem.
Most don't yet grasp the simplicity of what it means to be sovereign.
It simply means that you're self governing and self determining.
Essentially, not a slave.
For a sentient being to be free, they must be sovereign, meaning they must be in control of their own choices.
Sovereignty is the foundation for all people to have equal rights and opportunity.
Sovereignty is freedom.
Your freedom is not a privilege to be granted or a reward for good behaviour.
Freedom is your birthright as a human being.
Sovereignty is the rejection of anyone who is delusional enough to believe they have the legitmate right to boss you around.
Sovereignty is consenting to give yourself permission to be in charge of yourself.
It's taking control and ownership of your mind, thoughts, body, health, emotions, behaviour and actions.
Because if you are not in control and owning these parts of yourself, then who is?
Having the ability to make choices according to your desires and will is what it means to be sovereign.
It's the knowledge that you own yourself and are responsible for your actions.
No one has a higher claim to own you, than you.
Ownership means you have the exclusive right to decide what's done with something. In this case, your self, which encompasses your body, mind and spirit.
Embracing sovereignty is embracing the reality that you are the king or queen of your life, as are we all.
When you become aware of your nature, and everyone else's, you realise no one is superior or inferior.
We all have the right to rule ourselves and to not be ruled by others.
Everyone in reality is sovereign.
The idea that some have "authority" and rights the rest of us don't have is a belief based in fiction.
Sovereignty is what separates us from the computer or phone you are reading this on, a device that may be intelligent, but relies upon a user to make it's choices.
Sovereignty is what makes us alive.
What Is Responsibility?
With great power comes great responsibility.
You are responsible for how you manage your freedom, behaviour and actions.
When others see you as responsible, it's because they've learnt they can trust, rely and depend upon you.
A responsible man or woman owns their actions, whether they do the right thing or make a mistake.
What does it mean to be responsible for your actions?
It means you can't blame someone else for the way you act.
Bombs are dropped, wars are fought, societies are oppressed, while the men who do the killing and oppressing blame the ones giving the orders, acting as if they have no free will of their own and had no choice in the matter.
If something is fundamentally wrong, saying that you are just following orders, the rules, the law or what everyone else is doing is an excuse for children.
Children are natively irresponsible because they lack experience and awareness to comprehend what responsibility really means.
That's why it's hard to leave young children unsupervised as they often pose a danger to themselves and others.
It takes them time to mature and earn their parents trust.
Grown men and women recognise that even if someone tells them to do the wrong thing, it's ultimately their choice if they obey or not.
Whether you choose to be good or evil, to do the right or wrong thing, it's your choice.
So what do you choose?
Do you do the wrong thing and blame someone else, or do you choose your own moral compass and do what is right?
Being sovereign and responsible is not hard.
Lying to yourself and pretending your not, is.
