The Spirit of Independence
by Diane Harvey
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Are you celebrating the memory of the great moment in human
history which was our nation's Independence Day? Conscious
celebration powerfully reconnects us directly to the original
energy of independence itself. Yet this very reconnecting
immediately brings into stark relief the actual situation we are
in here and now: the near-wholesale loss of all meaningful
freedom in daily life. What kind of Independence Day is this?
The tide is flowing strongly against that energy which is the
genuine spirit of independence. Whatever it is we might wish to
do to assert our uniquely creative spirits, it will most likely
be immediately obstructed. The high and wide stone walls of the
Nameless Interconnected Directorate are closing in, and closing
down the dangerous spirit of independence. We may celebrate the
idea of freedom, but the grim truth is that our freedom is now an
almost meaningless abstraction, reduced to a celebration of
beautiful words in history books and high dreams of past glory.
We are a nation of the quietly enslaved now, invisibly chained to
the Shadow Power which is devouring our energy, our money, our
hearts, our minds, and our souls. Where is our independence
today? What are we celebrating?
Independence means the practical opportunity to earn a living
through our own intelligent activity, rather than as a nameless
numbered biped in a multinational corporate Ubershark.
Independence means the opportunity to educate our children
according to the compelling natural voice of our own conscience,
rather than that of current nightmarish popular opinion.
Independence means to be able to actually choose and vote for our
elected officials, rather than be forced to accept the present
criminal syndicate of wholly-owned corporate puppet-people.
Independence means the opportunity to eat and drink substances
untampered with by hidden venomous corporate byproducts and
oughtright toxic waste. Independence means the freedom to live
without being spied on through invisible means, by invisible
groups, for invisible purposes. Independence means informed
consent of a concerned and enlightened citizenry, rather than
secret government experiments perpetrated on an unknowing and
deliberately weakened populace. Independence means the
opportunity to innocently think our own thoughts and feel our own
feelings, rather than be silently subject to subliminal
electromagnetic and chemical psychological entrainment.
Independence means the opportunity to seek health, as we
understand the meaning of this for ourselves, rather than be
coerced and kidnapped outright into the lunatic corporate
pharmaceutical-medical straight-jacket. Independence means to be
allowed to exist in all our multifarious multileveled
multicolored individualities, rather than being forced deeper and
deeper into the mindless, heartless, bottomless pit of
uniformity. Independence is not a historical right. It is not an
abstraction, or a concept. It is either what we are free to try,
free to live in here and now, or it is nothing at all. The spirit
of independence is not the memory of that spirit.
How free are we to live outside a system which vehemently and
effectively opposes the very nature of independence? Are we free
to live out our dreams of creating beautiful and useful objects,
arts, inventions, and new ways of living? Are we free to pursue
the very best that is within us? That would be the practical
result of a truely free society, composed of independent
individuals. Most of us are not free to do anything except earn a
half-a-living, as best we can, within the strict confines of the
dark Shadow. The other half of our living we are forced to pay
directly into the gaping maw which digests it in order to further
enslave us. Of course we are all still perfectly free to starve,
out of sight under a bush, in the dust. Elsewhere, any genuine
independence is very hard to come by. We have left, as a nation,
only negative freedoms and negative independence. We seem
outwardly to make choices, to move about, to be actually living.
Our chains are now invisible, and this is the worst condition of
all. We are still free to imagine we are free.
Have we then, as a nation, irrevocably traded the spirit of
freedom for the noxious intoxicating vapors of spurious security?
Have we forever renounced the use of our minds, in exchange for
the puny inanities of puerile entertainments? Have we now
bartered the very souls of our children for the right to work
sixty hours a week, to make more money, to pay more taxes, to buy
ever more shamefully pointless stuff? Have we exchanged the
friendly confidences of our own souls, for the right to ignore
the death of the spirit of independence? These are questions we
cannot answer, except for ourselves. If we are willing, we can
envision all those lives, throughout history, who gave themselves
unselfishly in order that the spirit of independence might live
on. Can we feel the weight of those endless countless individual
sacrifices, and have the courage to measure this against what we
have done with the gift of their lives? Painfully conscious of
all that was, and is, yet devoid of sentimentality, can we allow
our hearts to fully accept this realization? Can we let our minds
range tenderly backward over the innumerable lives and deaths
spent for this, the last vestige of freedom?
We can pray that we may have the spiritual fortitude to bear
knowing what has become of our freedom in our own nation. Because
surely our only response to these facts must be to move heaven
and earth to rekindle this spiritual fire of independence within
ourselves. And then, to rededicate this flame, which can exist
only within a willing human being, to the future of this country.
For all our tears and regrets are sterile if we do not act to
regain our lost freedom. We are united with the past we revere
soley through the use we make of the rest of our existence here.
Only by our personal willingness to feed that fire with the fuel
of our own comfortable lives, will we ever again in all honesty
be able to celebrate a living Independence Day.
"But when a long train of abuses and usupations, pursuing
inevitably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security." The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen
Colonies in Congress, July 4, 1776
