Bart,
I really agree with you here and unfortunately when people are given
freedom it doesn't mean they have to "own land" or "own intellectual
abilities," it just means that freedom should be taught as being dear and
beloved by all of us. When we give someone freedom, we give something
priceless. It is something that should be respected and loved and practiced
by all. Rather than human assertion of our shortcomings, maybe we could be
blessed by ascended masters coming forth into our minds, bodies, feelings,
and worlds, and consuming all irrational thoughts and behaviors. I
especially like when we ask them to set us free from "our little worlds"
and ask them to admit us into their "great life." At my temple, this
concept is that when they remove our wrongdoing, they replace it by their
own light substance. Now we're making real headway.
