Lately, I have been pondering about the definition of freedom. It has always carried very important value in my life. In this blog I share my latest insight about this topic.

Many people are determined to change the world or help other people with any kind of life issue. There is as well a great number of people who call themselves ‘awake’ and are very eager to convince others that the stories they are told aren’t what they seem to be. Without going into the content of these stories, I think that they contribute to awareness. Nothing less and nothing more. Their vocation to ‘awake the sleeping ones’, creates more polarity and is very focused on relying on a change from the outside world. I will elaborate on this from a few different angles and share my opinion of realizing personal freedom.

Spiritual activism

The larger part of the people embarks on a path to awareness of spiritual growth because of a life-changing event, such as a serious illness, a near-death-experience, a divorce et cetera.

When life gives you so-called lemons, you have to deal with it somehow. After the first insights, many people want to share these with the purpose of helping others. They are very enthusiastic and have only good intentions with their efforts. However, generally they also are very determined in their approach and tools. Oftentimes a bit narrowminded. They will tell you for example that yoga and meditation is the way to go. You shouldn’t drink alcohol, be a vegan, send love and that it is very important to get rid of your ego. I won’t go deeper into the pros and cons of this approach because it’s just for the purpose of an example. It could easily be another approach, such as non-dualism or spending time in an Indian Ashram. I just want to point out that there are more ways to grow spiritually. Furthermore, I think that people can’t be helped. In order to grow, everybody has to help themselves or at least needs to have the will to. This means that as a spiritual coach, guide or teacher, you have to understand that everybody has their own path, and your approach can be a part of the journey. In order to understand that the real journey starts from within, it is important to finish up the phase of spiritual activism. In the next phase, which I will call ‘The dark night of the soul’, you get to understand that there is ‘good’ and ‘bad’ in everybody. Once you find out that there is ‘good’ and ‘bad’ within you as well, driven by circumstances, you will also understand that many of these so-called good and bad behaviors are man-made and thus based on judgement. By unraveling these aspects within and through embracing them, you will be able to make thorough decisions about who you want to be. This is a very individual phase where the role of others is just to trigger you, provide you with their personal insights or ask the right questions.

Be the change you want to see in the world

There is no such thing as an absolute reality. Individuals create their own reality. The more people believe in a particular story, the more it becomes part of the 3D reality. You could say that the things that show up in our physical world, the reality we experience as a collective with our own five senses, are man-made because they were created through the collective beliefs. A good example is religion. Every religion has founders. They created a story on how the world (Universe) works based on the knowledge of a higher force. The religion gets followers who believe the narrative and therefore follow the rules and uses. The followers consider the story of the religion as reality. Every belief, pattern, way of life is created through the similar mechanism. The beautiful thing about this ‘law’ is that we as individuals are able to use the same mechanism. Maybe you’re thinking ‘that’s a beautiful story, but I have to take care of my family, pay the bills and so forth.’ Let me start by saying, I have been there 😉 Yet somehow, I was forced to continue this path and after many trials and tribulations, I can say, it was worth every tear, sidestep, failure and disappointment. By now I understand that there is no such thing as a savior, and it is a waste of time to wait for an outside event on your path to freedom.

The one who has total control over the own mind, will be free

During the phase of the dark night of the soul, you will become aware of your own programs. This is a slow and intense process with a lot of going back and forth. Personally, during this period, I regularly have been frustrated by the length of this period and every time I thought that I was done, some new topic came to the surface. Looking back, the intensity of this process was necessary because of the diverse topics and to train the mind as well. It helps to create awareness about the countless thoughts that run through your mind on a daily basis. Once you’re aware of your thoughts, it’s easier to analyze the emotions and judgements that are behind the different thoughts. They are often part of a larger program that you have engaged with. In order to live in freedom, you first have to define what freedom looks and feels like according to you. My suggestion is to be as specific as possible. This will be your end goal and the standard to which you can determine if you adopt particular stories. To be free you have to be more sovereign. This is oftentimes a very lonely process but eventually you will meet likeminded people. The more you stay in your own sovereignty, the more likely it is that you will live a carefree life. By now you might be thinking that I am telling you a fairytale. If that’s your belief, then it will stay a fairytale 😉 Remember thoughts create reality.

A problem can’t be solved with the same thinking we used when we created them (Einstein)

Lately, increasingly people are mentioning that Earth is moving from 3D to 5D. They talk about this as if it just will happen. In my opinion, nothing will happen, if we don’t take action. The simplest way to explain these dimensions is a state of collective awareness. It’s a perspective of the way we structured our lives and our beliefs. One of the most important beliefs for the 3D perspective is that individual humans are powerless. Most people are convinced that they can’t make a great impact on reality. They listen to the people in power and follow orders. By giving their power away and completely relying on other people, they are completely locked in the entertainment program that is man-made. Getting out of this program is really hard because of all kinds of obligations. Fear and loneliness oftentimes prevent people from making a change. The 3D structure seems like a completely taken care of journey from birth to death as long as you do what is expected. As a result, most people experience a sense of freedom and are continuously looking for instant gratification. Looking forward to fun shopping, buying things they don’t really need, waiting for the weekend to go to a party, saving for a two-week holiday and waiting to retire to finally enjoy life are a few examples. This program distracts the larger part of the population and as a consequence they don’t take the time to evaluate the quality of life or to think about the ways of the world and explore other options. As long as a personal event doesn’t disrupt the satisfaction of the structure, most people are fine with the current 3D. Over the past year and a half, increasingly more people are getting uncomfortable with the way our world is structured. They are looking for other ways of living and along the way they try to convince others. However, most options are still sought in the current structure of 3D, mostly with practical solutions. 5D is thinking and acting from another perspective. Basically, it means that you have to regain your natural power, understand that you are a powerful being and are in charge of creating your own reality. The solutions will present themselves eventually. Will this be an easy path? No, probably not. It takes courage, a lot of exploring, shadow work and determination. Is it impossible for you? No! There are many people who have walked this path and will embark on this path in the coming months. So, in a way Earth will move to 5D because increasingly more humans will understand in the near future how to tap into these energies and comprehend what it means to live from a 5D perspective.

Life is a journey. You are born alone and are going to die alone at some point. You are the only one who is responsible for your own 5- star experience. Freedom and sovereignty are your birthrights (Danielle Christina, July 2020)
