Freedom is already liberated! Where ever you go, you can see freedom in its upmost. Anyone who causes fear, anyone who is scared, anyone who loves, anyone who hates, anyone who is ignorant,innocent, apathetic, energetic, and utterly stupid, anyone who causes pain,violence,death they all are expressing freedom in all its grandeur.

This is what freedom is to me, and i am free to express and think this way because of it. Some would call this ignorant, i would agree. Some may consider it “Wrong”, they are right. This is because they truly are as free as any person can be, for they actually have the choice to think that way.

To answer the UN question, i would have to say this: “You all have failed your countries, your people, your family, your friends, and your world. Get some god damn sense in your skulls and achieve peace. To do so isn’t that hard, you just have to try.” Considering that is for the UN General Assembly and all the World Leaders, I really wont explain myself to anyone else who questions it. And again, to “liberate our sense of freedom from ignorance, apathy, and fear” all you need to do is accept those notions as choices of the people, and choice is (in my book) what freedom is.

To “safeguard freedom” for future generations…that too is simple to achieve. To do so all you need do is educate, promote learning, and to hold true to the fact that everyone has a choice, and you must acknowledge the choices of others (for better or worse) for if you don’t then you too become one that bars freedom through ignorance.

This is a rant, read it, read it, ignore it, it really doesn’t matter to me because i have the freedom to do such things. Good day,Good night, Live, or Die if you want, its up to you for ,like everyone, you are free.

Freedom is love. As long as we live from a position of fear we will not feel love. Love is giving from the deepest level of conviction, with no return or benefit expected. Love is infinite consciousness. Love is pervasive, ever present in every being.

Oppression is ignorance. Oppression is suffering for the sake of physical gratification, attempting to steal people’s energy in order to feel free, to feel powerful.

Love is the acceptance of our purpose; to expand with the universe, with consciousness.

I embrace the spiritual revolution, that we may know ourselves within the context of infinity. That we may save this planet. That we may know our place in the cosmic evolution.

May our world leaders awaken from their narrow dream. May they experience true freedom in their inevitable quest for truth.

Our intention is critical, may our intention for peace, freedom, love become a quantum collective reality

I believe freedom is the ability to walk without building obstructing views of oceans, prairies, mountains, forests, and other landscapes.

I believe freedom will come when we collectively in communities decide land is sacred and that people need open places to let their heart lighten, to let their eyes feel the gentle touch of small surprises (small flowers, tree frogs, fossilized sharks teeth in the sand, a skimmer feeding over shallow water), and to halt the chatter of their minds.

Everyday less space is available for ecosystems to perform their ecological services and this is terrible for the health of humanity. But, the greatest tragedy is we are losing the places that can provide us the mechanisms to heal our spirits.

Today at work we were unloading kayaks for the group coming and a small tree frog was in on of the kayaks. We stopped to put him into the tall marsh grasses and he was so very perfect (breathing and heart beating).

We were two biologists but, we thought how can this tiny tree frog exist and there not be world peace. Surely if everyone saw this they would want world peace. We can not liberate freedom without saving every piece of nature still here today. Nature is the perfect model of freedom and beauty.

We must have it to be free. Otherwise we will be lonely, sad, and fear filled. Every time we have less and more sprawling cities we have less chance at liberating freedom. I do want to give immense thanks to the daily experiences I have that liberate me - they are always gifts from this perfect sphere holding water, air, and land sustaining so many miracles of life and species diversity.

Freedom to me is biodiversity and its preservation.

If we do whatever it takes to give them a childhood of unparalleled freedom, they will know themselves and naturally progress on the freedom track. They won’t be bogged down with asinine rules and regulations created to ensure docile obedient adults…adults who have no understanding of freedom.

My freedom lay in raising a free child, in ignoring the remarks of others telling me that I was ruining her life by giving her freedom. I felt freedom radiate through me as I sat, year after year, quietly watching my daughter grow and make decisions according to what she really felt and believed. Her choices came from her heart and were not influenced by what she thought a teacher, controlling parent or even a peer wanted.

Raising my unprocessed child was more freeing than anything I’ve ever done – before or since. And now she soars.

School is the antithesis of freedom. Remove that burden from your child’s life and they will experience true freedom, naturally entering the adult world with a strength that is lacking in today’s leaders.

People let’s look what’s really going down
In old Suvanna-bhumi there are gems in the ground
No rice on the table — oldest story in the book
Mercedes in a new city of generals and crooks
The Lady’s under lock and key, she says: “Freedom from fear!”
Monks and nuns are on the streets, shine their light through clouds of tears…

Chorus: Arise! Arise!

We’re standing side by side
And if you raise your weapons
We will look you in the eye
until the hate subsides
The eyes of the world
will look you in the eye….

Half a world away I’ve got a healthy pension planned
on slave labor and helicopters — and even heroin
Everything is normal here, everything is clean
Till I turn from 9 to 5 to that shining little screen
The Lady’s under lock and key, she says: “Freedom from fear!”
Monks and nuns out on the streets shine their light through clouds of tears…

Chorus : Arise! Arise!

We’re standing side by side
And if you raise your weapons
We will look you in the eye
until the fear subsides
The eyes of the world
will look you in the eye….

Everyone has the ears to hear the sound when people cry
Everyone’s a choice to make as we walk our own fine lines
So if I call you brother now, how will you reply?
No longer can we just abide in the “eye for an eye”!
The Lady’s under lock and key, she says: “Freedom from fear!”
Monks and nuns are on the street, shine that light through clouds of tears…

Chorus: Arise! Arise!

We’re standing side by side
And if you raise your weapons
We will look you in the eye
until the hate subsides
The eyes of the world
until the fear subsides
until those fires die…

The eyes of the world
The eyes of the world
The eyes of the world
