Freedom

For those who are governed by the spirit, by light

October 4th 2023

Human beings are free only when they succeed in re-establishing true hierarchy within themselves.* When they do so, they are kings; they regain their place on the throne and everything – their feelings, thoughts, instincts and desires – obeys them. For most people, freedom means opening a door and leaving, claiming, ‘I’m free’, even though they carry all their prisons within them. No, those who give priority to their desires, whims and passions are slaves, and their desire to be free is quite misplaced. In reality, only the spirit is free. So only those who are governed by the spirit, that is to say, by the light, by all that is noble, great and just, have the right to be free.

Freedom is the privilege of the spirit: when it rules in us then we can claim to be free. For this we must learn to reestablish the true hierarchy within us and become king of ourselves. It is through the light of our mind that our feelings, thoughts, instincts and desires are then obeyed.
