However free we may believe ourselves to be, in a world ruled largely by corporate, government, and financial institutions we are subject to a tremendous amount of external control. Advertising and PR. Censorship and propaganda. Woke threats of cancellation. Our taxes funding other people’s wars.
Our lives are not only filled with social conditioning that dulls and wearies the mind, they’re manipulated by interests that thrive on keeping us asleep.
To be sovereign means to be self-governing, to have power and authority over one’s own life. It means honoring our inner knowing, even when it runs counter to someone else’s ‘data.’ It may require unlearning, deprogramming, questioning authority, and self-educating ourselves as independent thinkers in an increasingly thought-controlled world.
The world needs so much more kindness and compassion, and so much less fear and greed. This section respectfully attempts to offer resources for free thinking and free being, in service to a more compassionate, wakeful way of life.
