I had the opportunity to watch the Lincoln Center Inaugural Celebration this weekend. The message was subtle yet bold. I was moved as I listened to the music and the speakers proclaim freedom and love. The message was clear; the chains of bondage have been broken.
The chains of limitation, separation, and degradation have been broken for many, many years however the effects and the beliefs of bondage have lingered in our consciousness and our society.
To be or not to be
This reminds me of the elephant analogy.
An elephant that has been anchored to a spot for a period of time becomes complacent in its bondage. Even after the chains have been removed the elephant does not experience its true freedom because it has become rooted in its experience and its belief.
I am grateful that I have never had to look far to see the truth of this freedom spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. and of all those who came before and after him.
I have heard people say that President Obama has accomplished the impossible. In my world….. President Obama is experiencing the fruit of limitless possibilities.
Freedom is a choice.
As long as a belief lingers in your consciousness it will continue to attract and linger in your experiences.
President Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesus, Buddha, Mother Theresa, The Dalai Lama, or your next door neighbor cannot make you experience the true freedom that is yours.
That privilege lays within your heart and your mind to make a conscious choice in the way you wish to experience your power, your freedom and your world.
Making your choice
Will you bless, or choose to curse?
Will you take note of what is right and good, or build a temple to what is wrong or missing?
Will you trust in your power to make your world a more divine place, or will you give away your power to those who you think are better equipped to decide your well-being?
Will you love your neighbors, or find reasons to resent them?
Will you claim your divine inheritance, or will you point your finger at government and politics for living a life less fulfilling?
We are free my beloveds!!
So free indeed, that we could choose bondage.
One heart. One love.
Say it,
feel it,
believe it,
and I promise you, you will experience it.
In the Spirit of Love

I think that President Obama's Inaugural Address reflected this idea, don't you?
I haven't seen it yet. However based on what I have seen. Yes. That seemed to be the message I got while watching the Lincoln Center Celebration.
