You Are a Sovereign Being – Start Acting Like It!

There is a growing awareness and indignation about the injustice and inequality running rampant in our world, and growing interest in creating the better world that we all know can exist.  One of the key changes that needs to happen to enable the transformation of our humanity is to reclaim our personal power to think for ourselves, to discern truth from disinformation, and to stand firm for what we know is right.

The Source that created us endowed us with free-will and the power to create with our thoughts, words, and deeds.  Yet many of us are squandering these endowments, squandering them so badly that the probable future of humanity is not looking very bright.  Humanity is at a critical junction in its history — one road leads to a very bleak future, and the other has the potential to be a new golden age.  The outcome depends on us, each one of us, starting right now and it starts by freeing your mind!  The key to reclaiming our freedom and creating a better world is for each of us to reclaim our sovereignty.

What is Sovereignty?

The word “Sovereign” refers to the power or right that a nation/state or individual has to determine its own destiny — to not be controlled by others.  The ability to determine one’s own destiny has been termed SELF-DETERMINATION and it is one aspect of the timeless ideal called FREEDOM.  Self-determination and freedom are said to be intrinsic rights bestowed on us by Source/God.  The American founding fathers firmly thought so and called these “inalienable” rights.  Personal sovereignty refers to the intrinsic right of an INDIVIDUAL to self-determination.

But having the right of sovereignty is not the same as BEING sovereign.  One must assert a right through one’s thoughts and actions, or the right is essentially lost.  Ultimately your sovereignty has to be demonstrated.  The classic saying “Freedom is not free” echoes this idea — rights must be claimed by the constant application of attention, thought, and engagement.

An important part of being truly free is the responcibilty to be highly discerning about the ideas, beliefs, and attitudes that we choose to accept from society.  In fact, we must be independent minded and confident enough to form our own ideas, beliefs, and attitudes — despite the pressure that society puts on us to conform.  We must not just blindly accept everything our government, religions, teachers, and so called “experts” want us to believe.  Doing so gives away our power and allows the “powers that be” to create a world that serves their agenda — a world that might not be in our best interest.

Why Personal Sovereignty is Important

If we don’t start forming our own beliefs, trusting our inner knowledge, and standing for what we know in our hearts is right, the future of our world will be defined and created by a very few with a very self-serving agenda.  In this world that worships the almighty dollar commercial interests are steering the ship.  We have allowed them to hijack our government, our religions, our media, and our beliefs and attitudes — materialism, consumerism, separatism, and fear serve their interests.
