Freedom requires honest self-awareness and alignment with the reality of who we are. True freedom is not about doing whatever we want; it is about embracing what must be done to grow into our fullest selves. This kind of freedom critiques every institution and culture without aligning itself completely with any of them. It resists being packaged as a product or ideology. When we embrace this freedom, we stop treating spirituality as a tool for control or dominance. Instead, we learn to live with compassion, humility, and openness. Freedom is not imposed or purchased; it emerges from within, shaping our relationships and decisions. Together, we can strive for this freedom, letting it guide us toward authenticity and transformation.
May we embrace the freedom to become our truest selves,
living with compassion, humility,
and unwavering authenticity.
(inspired by Richard Rohr, Jesus’ Alternative Plan)
