Freedom

God sees all feels all no limits no barriers to His sense of worth and being -- made the ultimate love sacrifice, created a humanity from His Own Spiritual Substance -- made the ultimate love sacrifice gave His Image freedom we are the reflection of the source while our own mirror of separation -- molten sands crystallized, glass and foil fused sadly yet rejecting soul tenderizing, a cure of pure love what do we want for our children less or more? Freedom is everything -- everything without freedom is nothing -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The world is in chaos, but freedom is not the problem. And limiting freedom, censorship is not the solution. It has never worked for long periods of time in the past, and censorship will not work now. Tempting as it may be, correct as you may feel you are, restricting opposing voices is not the solution to misinformation and downright evil. There are no quick fixes. God thought freedom important enough not to put limits or restrictions on our choices. The answer to bad information is more information, good information. how do we know good information? -- history...good information is always good -- Self evident. Truth is self evident. If one has to go through mental, spiritual gymnastics to convince one's self that something is right -- good chance it is then wrong. Truth needs no affirmation other than its presence. In this sense, God is God by any faith, by any religion. By any name. He is either present or not, no debating necessary. Good is always good, bad is always bad, evil is always evil -- known by the fruits of ages. Right and wrong are never compatible -- there should be no compromise, no mingling of the two. What is wrong on any level -- is entirely wrong.

Freedom is so essential for mental growth. Censorship can in no way bring order from chaos. God has given us freewill. He doesn't restrict anybody or set limits. He has given us the freedom to choose. Using our discretion, we can choose the right. Give our children love and freedom as God has given us. Sublime thoughts dear Joe.

Hi Valsa; many want to blame God -- we actually condemn ourselves, to the hell we have maintained. Well said, my friend. Thank you for the support and encouragement. Blessings.

Dear joe what a soulfully meaningful poem this is and your note on the bottom too is very powerful and thought provoking. You are right censorship isnt the way to go, nowadays, in the name of “ freedom” so many do things that arent right. How do we know something is not right? When it involves hurting another humanbeing, or moral values. I felt it when you wrote “ what do we want for our children less or more? Freedom is everything -- everything without freedom is nothing -” so true and moving! Pleasure reading your work, they always leave an impression! Sending you light always

Hi IE. So pleased you enjoyed the read. I don't agree with censorship; maybe I am not wise enough to see the benefits. Just my opinion, everything I write. I am not a professional anything. Keeping things from children, allowing them to experience childhood is not censorship. It is being loving and rightly protective. In many ways, the world is nuts. Sounds like you agree. Thank you, my friend.

God gave us freedom of choice but often we abuse it. We are free to do good.

That is why God gives us freedom above all else. Freedom of choice, to believe, or not. I choose to believe that with Him, we can achieve great freedom of spirit, :)

Achieve spiritual freedom, and all other freedoms will follow...physical substance changes constantly, it is the malleable illusion of a living consciousness. We can conceive both good and evil -- our freewill choice.

Yes you are right we want freedom for everyone, especially for our children to grow in harmony and peace.. sadly some people have other ideas.. plus what is freedom in your eyes and what is freedom in the eyes of another... some take liberties too lightly..

For sure -- very much abused. Without freedom there would be no wrong. God apparently thought it valuable enough, precious enough to take the risk.

Individuals seem to have different ideas of freedom. Freedom without safety is not freedom at all. I saw this problem years ago. Everyone wants their hand in the pot, to make their own rules, to selfishly want what robs other’s freedom. Only God explains freedom. We choose whether to accept it or not.

Absolutely...one cannot have quality freedom without law -- God's law, respect for self and others, something through love man will come to understand and fully exhibit. Along with Freedom, so few know what complete Love is -- choosing only the parts they like best~ maybe just kissing and poetry:) We are free to do right or wrong -- it is our choice. Though everyone is not inclined to admit so, we all know what wrong ultimately brings life's experience. Thank you, Kim; blessings my friend.
