Have you ever thought about the concept and definition of freedom? I have and this is why I created this Project as For Freedom Now. We often think of freedom as being able to do what we want to, or perhaps to have no responsibilities except to our self. Freedom is a multi-faceted concept. For some it may mean having financial freedom from debt and to have whatever we want to purchase. It may mean to some to be free of an unloving relationship--marriage. From my many years of gaining wisdom by going through many experiences--some unhappy and some happy, I have learned that we can never realize true freedom until we give up our anger, our hurts, our bigotry, our prejudices, our hatreds, our victimizations, that it is only then we can experience true freedom of the mind and the spirit. For freedom now, it is time to open our minds to new concepts and new realities. This is why I am asking that every person who reads this is to encompass the globe with love and gratitude, because these two words are filled with power and when sent without prejudice can overcome obstacles. Love must be sent without conditions and by doing this, we become free inside as if a large burden was taken away. And it has. Instead of condemnation, let us send love and gratitude out to the world. Let us be thankful for what we have and what we are. When we can do this, we will begin to feel an inner peace within.
