Freedom and Discipline
The Battle We Face Requires Your Participation
We are at a critical moment in our history. With the current state of our world, it is imperative, now more than ever, to understand the conception of freedom. What does this word truly mean and how can we realign ourselves with this meaning? One way to understand freedom is by viewing it as the ability to choose. This is also the concept of what we would consider to be “free” will. We are gifted with the choice of saying or doing things that we feel are relevant or beneficial to our lives, without the fear of being punished.
“The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hinderance or restraint.”
This is the definition of freedom. And while this statement rings true, there are still some other aspects to this that we must understand. Humanity was created to be free. The desire to live by our own accord is deeply ingrained within us. And this is something that our founding fathers knew to be true. This is why the United States of America was formed with the intention of being a free nation.
This is why we saw the birth of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These documents were created to secure our God given rights. Because as a free people, we are meant to have the ability to carry out our actions, our words, and our thoughts in whatever manner we see fit. We were born with these rights, and they are granted to every human being despite race, religion, or creed.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
-Declaration of Independence
But the truth of the matter is that many Americans take their freedom for granted. And sadly, the reality is that we have not had true freedom for a very long time. We have only had the illusion of freedom. Americans have become too comfortable. And throughout the years we have allowed the grip of totalitarianism to slowly take its hold.
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
-Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain
These statements are not meant to pass blame. For many it has been easy to fall to the artifices of the ones in power. Throughout time we have been given the choice to forgo certain freedoms in exchange for comfort and safety. And we have let this happen because most people just want to live their lives in peace. But that is the thing about freedom, it requires a level of responsibility that we must attain to.
It is true that the people of this nation, and the world, have been inundated with ongoing propaganda for years. But it is through our ignorance that we have seen the rise of mass psychosis. We have allowed this propaganda to penetrate our minds. And now we are finally seeing the effects. Over the past few years, we have begun to wake up, to see just how bad this has truly become. And once we saw the tyrannical covid measures and censorship of speech playing out, this was the moment for many to understand that things have gotten far out of hand.
Freedom ultimately comes down to personal responsibility. And when it comes to the preservation of freedom and the redefining of freedom, the same principles apply. We must maintain that responsibility and learn to acquire self-discipline. For discipline is equivalent to freedom. In order to be truly free, you must have a disciplined mind. This mental discipline is what will bring forth the desire to be responsible. This mental discipline is what will align you to proper thought and proper action.
We must also recognize that part of this responsibility is understanding our past. If we look to what we know of as our past, we will see that there have been glimpses of actual freedom. But in truth, that freedom was illusory. It never truly existed, except within the hearts and the minds of the individuals who were limited in the constraints of the government. And this would have been people such as the early American pioneers and Americans after the Revolution. But even when it comes to the American Revolution, when we look at the financiers behind that and the people who influenced that movement, we can see another system of control that was implemented. And this system had its level of influence over the founding fathers as well as the progression of this country.
When we look back, we can understand that we have been placed into a legal slave matrix. And this has come about through combinations of common law, admiralty law, UCC, corporate law, the magna carta, the act of 1871, etc. We can also look at the influence of the church as well as various other institutions and organizations. The point to this being that humanity has been enslaved for a very long time. Humanity no longer understands what real freedom is. And right now, we are in this revolution of ideas.
Truth is moving up to the surface. What I mean by truth is empirical truth. The nature of reality, the nature of who and what we truly are, and the nature of spirit. People are beginning to look at these institutions, organizations, and foundational systems that have been developed for centuries or even millennia and they are rejecting a lot of the predicate that was laid out within them. They are rejecting the consensus norms that those things have brought about in our society that restrict us in those aspects of freedom.
Once we properly review our past, and once we realize that we must begin to take responsibility for our freedom, we can now look at the means by which this can be accomplished. We must begin to understand how we can successfully acquire proper discipline so that we may carry out the necessary responsibilities. The main part of this is to recognize that there are two domains of influence, the realm of causation and the realm of effect.
When you live in the realm of effect, you are continuously reacting to the environment around you. You react with heightened states of emotion. This is the state that most Americans live in today, and this is due to a lack of discipline. Not being able to take control of your senses and your filtering system. Not being able to take a step back and analyze what is being brought in from your environment. And blindly accepting the information coming in as truth.
On the other side, when you operate out of the realm of causation then you become the one who is in control of the information that is being put out into the environment. You become the one who is seeking for others to react or interact with the information that you are putting out there. This can lead to the interaction being beneficial for both you and the receivers, as long as the information is arranged in a way that has beneficial intent. This is you taking control of the flow of information as well as the control over your own reactions. This is where freedom is truly gained.
“Do not conform to the pattern of the world. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will.”
-Romans 12:2
Do not go out into the world and carelessly accept the environment and the information around you, but instead transform your mind. What is the renewal of your mind? It is adding new information into the system. New information that is under the control of you, your conscious awareness. These are epiphanies and this is learning something that you did not know you did not know. This is what will expand your mind. And it is from this process that you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is. Because from that manifests God’s will. When you interact with new information that is beneficial to you, through the process of discipline, you will find the perfection. You will find it to be pleasing. And it is there that you will find God’s will.
Discipline and discernment are the tools that we must utilize in order to take back our country, our world and our freedom. There are many things playing out within this globalist agenda that are out of our control. But we have the power to control our minds and control the flow of information. We hold that power within us. Our creator made us in His image. That means that our will, our volition, our integrity, our personality, and our actions are all who we are within the image of God. He has an idea of who you can be. And it is our right to stand strong and rise up to that image. Do not put your complete trust in the notion that you need a savior, but instead, instill it within yourself.
Who are we to step back and let someone else take that role? Who are we to allow the people in higher positions to do all the hard work to get our country back and to save our world? This should be the job of the people. And while it may be true that there is a plan taking place in the background, we must be a part of that plan. We cannot just sit idly by and put our complete trust and faith in the hope that this will save us.
God works through us. And we are the ones at the forefront. We are the people that are standing against the globalist agenda. We are the ones informing the masses about what is happening in the world. We are the ones making the calls for people to rise up, to go out and protest and let your voices be heard, and to exercise civil disobedience. And we need to be progressive about this. Not just in a political fashion but with our actions. We need to let these elitists know that they are on notice. Our founding fathers knew that there would always be the possibility of the government turning tyrannical. They knew this because they had experienced it for themselves.
“Should an unwarrantable measure of the federal government be unpopular in particular States, which would seldom fail to be the case, or even a warrantable measure be so, which may sometimes be the case, the means of opposition to it are powerful and at hand. The disquietude of the people; their repugnance and, perhaps, refusal to co-operate with the officers of the Union; the frowns of the executive magistracy of the State; the embarrassments created by legislative devices, which would often be added on such occasions, would oppose, in any State, difficulties not to be despised; would form, in a large State, very serious impediments; and where the sentiments of several adjoining States happened to be in unison, would present obstructions which the federal government would hardly be willing to encounter.”
-James Madison, Federalist 46
And while it is not just the United States government, but also a larger, hidden power pulling the strings, the same principles still apply. Nobody is coming to save us. No matter what is occurring behind the curtain, no matter what moves are being made by the “good guys,” we must remember that ultimately it is up to us to change things. We must take back control of our minds. We must use discipline and discernment to realign our hearts to what truly matters so that we may use information and action to our benefit. And we must remember that a leader is only a leader if there are people standing in support. It is the people who take back the household. It is the people who take back the community. It is the people who take back the city, the county, and the state. And it is the people who take back the government. It is us who must take back our freedom.
