Slavery To Freedom l. Amera Ziganii Rao
The journey. The one you have to make, with certainty the glorious boon and freedom, the prize. Enlightened selfishness. You realise then, after you have forgotten why you even began, that you've suddenly earned it. You were given the gift and now you have earned it. Well and truly. The rest is the responsibility of using that ability. But know that you are now finally, consciously, gifted with the gift. The gift of love. Being consciously gifted is the second existence.

What is anarchy? What is establishment? What is rebellion? What is creating one's destiny? Who is in control of your life? What is slavery? Do you agree with slavery? Do you like being a slave? Do you understand what the Matrix is? Do you want other people to be in control of your life? Do you agree with polite society? Do you think you are a rebel without a cause? Do you think you are a reformer? Do you believe in the rules? Do you think things are allowed to change? Do you see yourself as a vehicle of change or of stagnation? Do you think stagnation is convention? Do you agree with conformity and convention?

You will NEVER be loved by the tribe. You can't be. The Tribe is the machine world. The world of machines. Your mothers, your fathers, your uncles and your aunts. All plugged into the machine system of the world. The Patriarchal Tribe Society. The polite society. And to leave them is the most painful thing on Earth. But it is the only way.

We are all born slaves. It is up to us to find out how and why. And then we are free. Consciousnessness. The politics of the 21st century. Change yourself, change your world and therefore change THE world. We are all born slaves and we are all born to become free.

I'm thinking of the phrase, 'sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.' Ridiculous. Modern warfare is psychological. Emotional blackmail, passive aggression, abuse of power, snide compliments, polite pressure, backstabbing, open aggression or indeed, seeing everything through the eyes of ego, with the perception of a vengeful, self medicating, defensive, offended, teenager child. All psychological warfare. Words certainly DO hurt. Words certainly do break bones.

The Matrix mind is the tribe mind is the psychologically warfared mind is the ego mind that so wants to die and leave us alone. The soul is the higher mind is the purified mind is the re-educated mind is the de-matrixed mind is the real mind is the free mind is the mind without the tired ego.

The mind is the machine that paves the way to your future.
Anthony McGee
No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
Charles Kendall
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time.
Bob Marley
You take your problems to a god, but what you really need is for the god to take you to the inside of you.
Tina Turner
We are God's darkness because nothing is outside God. And we are God's light because nothing is outside God.

In other words, everything that tribe society, tribe patriarchal society, regards as witchcraft. Pure spiritual intelligence. The inner heart. God.

Human Rights. That is a generic fight, in the home or in the country and affects every single one of us. Every single one of us. And the fight has just begun. We still live in fascism, still live in a feudal system and the major majority of the world’s wealth still is in the hands of about two people, relatively speaking. We are not free and we do not live in a free world.

If you want to fight evil, there is only ONE battlefield where you can do so without the very high risk of becoming evil by self-righteously imposing your truth on others. That battlefield? Your OWN heart.
Cassaundra Blythe
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Leo Buscaglia
..someone takes the piss out of you on a daily basis...affects you in everything you do. Then that same person tells you that you have no right to be vulnerable, so the damage becomes a terrible and crippling liability...thing to do then is to stop the denial and the illusionary sentimentality. Only then can you set yourself free. Free to feel vulnerable and find the courage WITH the vulnerability, to achieve everything and anything that you want and so deserve.

The great soul is the person who has taken on the task of change. If he or she is able to transcend fear, to act out of courage, the whole group will benefit and each one, in his or her own life, will be suddenly more courageous, though they may not see how or why.
Gary Zukav
Do not be under any illusion. Do it if you must, be a slave if you must, but know what it is you are doing. And you will eventually see the walls of your prison fall down by themselves. That, I can guarantee.

There comes a special moment in everyone's life; a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he (she) seizes it, will fulfill his (her) mission-a mission for which he (she) is uniquely qualified. In that moment, he (she) finds greatness. It is his (her) finest hour.
Winston Churchill
Using your imagination and your new eyes of perception, I want you to see yourself living a new life, a new dream, a life where you don’t need to justify your existence and you are free to be who you really are.
Don Miguel Ruiz
Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
Zaheer Iqbal
The evolutionary stages of relationship are the same for interpersonal or cultural relationships.
Stage 1. Dependence
Stage 2. Co-dependence
Stage 3. Independence
Stage 4. Interdependence
These stages lead from uniformity to unity within diversity. Uniformity cannot fully embody the will of the Infinite to explore beingness through its creations. Diversity produces more chances of exploring the unknown.
The Seer's Wisdom
Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.
Neil Young
There is only one happiness in life - to love and be loved.
George Sands
You really don't know people until shit hits the fan in life. There are many insecure two-faced people who will smile at your face when they are using you and you treat them like family, but once you need them or you can't be there for them they turn hostile and show their true colors. These insecure people are poisonous to our health and progression in life. These same people will bring you down and wish the worst for you because their happiness is measured ONLY by what you have done for them lately. In order to cultivate our minds and grow we must not only get rid of negative thoughts and habits but we must get rid of negative people from our inner circle. We can't save and help those that can't even fathom the word LOVE let alone apply it to themselves. So live your life in a positive manner where those who you surround yourself with pick you up day or night unconditionally. A sad soul is one who measures love only by what you have done for them lately. They can't even conceive the concept of self-love because they constantly feel that they are also never doing enough for themselves!
Tamiem Ansari
The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he (she) does in his (her) own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he (she) has his (her) role as citizen to play).
Michael Foucault
We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tsu
Go further than you planned. Ask for the moon: you will be surprised how often you get it.
Paulo Coelho
People of love are the heroes of this world. Don't know about you, but I would rather try to be a hero every day, and if that takes courage, isolation, self honesty, emotional agony and self killing, it is always worth it. This, as I understand is our only responsibility in life.

Freedom is not just freedom in a country, freedom of speech, politically, or even the freedom to eat and live without war, famine or fascism. Freedom is the freedom, the human right to be oneself. To be WHAT ONE WANTS TO BE. And to fight for freedom today is therefore to engage in the strangulation of psychological warfare. Mental slavery and mental enslavement. Bullying.

In any situation, ask yourself, "What is the gift -- and have I given thanks for it?" And, "What is the lesson -- and am I learning it?"
Marianne Williamson
There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
Johnny Depp
Life is not just about BECOMING unconditional love. It is about accepting the punishment that comes with it. The isolation, the ex-communication, the hatred, the pressure to conform from other people, the loneliness and the solitude. Becoming unconditional love is to become soul is to exit the mediocre existence of life..The price is high for freedom and self ownership, but worth every single, fucking step. For real. Freedom. Freedom on Earth.

Normal is not something to aspire to, it is something to get away from.
Jodie Foster
If you could how would you bring about world peace? Consciousness, esoteric knowledge and inner ascension. If we all healed ourselves, there would be no war. Evil would die because we wouldn’t listen anymore.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
Einstein
Every star has that certain something that stands out and compels us to notice them. -As for me I have always believed my most compelling quality to be my inner strength, something I am easily able to share with an audience. I'm very comfortable in my own skin. I never thought my looks would have anything to do with becoming a star. Yet it seems that in some ways they did.
Maureen O'Hara
Self-control means wanting to be effective at some random point in the infinite radiations of my spiritual existence.
Franz Kafka
You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.
Samuel Beckett
Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.
Deepak Chopra
Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it.
E. Nightingale
Try to be so wakeful that you don't fall asleep again. Remain so alert that the future is not allowed to deceive you again as you had allowed it before. What has become past is nothing, but once it is your future then you get deceived by it. Now it is past; now another future is arriving....
Galactic Eye
If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.
William Blake
Better to die on one’s feet than to live on one’s knees.
Jean Paul Sartre
The power to punish is not essentially different from that of curing or educating.
Michael Foucault
Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.
Dr. Robert Anthony
Polonius:
My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
What day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time;
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief. Your noble son is mad...
Hamlet Act 2, scene 2, 86–92
The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
Ralph W. Sockman
When we talk of love on earth, we are not talking about 'ordinary' love. We are talking about high love. True love. True, kind, imaginative, courageous, compassionate, humane, passionate, heroic love.
Keeping people in a state of poverty is not true love. Being mean to anyone for their vulnerabilities, individuality, differences, brilliance, gender, race, sexuality or indeed sexual orientation. That is not love in any form, even the ordinary. Illusion is an 'ordinary' love. Not true love. Not respecting the freedom of any human being, the rights of a human being is 'ordinary' love. Not true love. And true love takes discipline, faith, imagination and courage, courage and courage.
And the reason it takes so much courage is because on Earth, it hardly exists anywhere. True love is the rarest thing on this planet. True love is God. 'Look into your heart Judas and what do you see?' 'Ordinary love'. Prosaic, lazy, automatic, ego love. Common as muck. Be a hero or heroine. Love truly or don't bother loving at all. Ain't even no shame in loving on an ordinary level. Everyone does it. It's easy to fit in.
Most of us are only taught that. Most of us by far, far and far. No judgments, no throwing of stones. But know what you do so you don't waste anyone's time. Don't be an unconscious destroyer. And don't be surprised when I or anyone else tell you who you are. Love is the easiest thing in the world to do. True love is heroic. True love is supremely rare. True love is what they call soul, what they call the healing, what they call the higher self.
True love is that amazing, that hard to attain and the only thing worth even talking about. True love is love samurai, love warrior, love angel and love darkness. True love is revolution, distribution of wealth, kindness, vision and intelligence. True love is God on Earth.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietschze
In contradiction, love grows in strength. In confrontation, love is preserved.
Paulo Coelho
Love is possible only when there is a deep acceptance of oneself, the other, the world. Acceptance creates the milieu in which love grows, the soil in which love blooms.
Osho
Ridley Scott's Gladiator. A general who became a slave. A slave who became a gladiator. A gladiator who defied an emperor.
Wikepedia
There are two levels of existence in life. One is called ego and one is called soul. One is 'normal' and automatic and the other the most elusive but attainable thing on earth. Self knowledge through gruelling and deeply satisfying but hair raising humility, self criticism (therapy, clearing the past, re-educating oneself) and ultimately self love. Always know what level of existence stands before you. In the mirror and in other people too. Then you are winning.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
William James
The past doesn't determine your future unless you carry it with you into the present. Forgiving yourself and others, you free the universe to begin again at any moment.
Marianne Williamson
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.
Avril Lavigne
If you’re passionate about what it is you do, then you’re going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it.
Jack Canfield
Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers......quietly building new structures.
John F. Kennedy
Realize that everyone is defined by their level of consciousness. What looks easy to change from your prospective looks binding from theirs.
The Chopra Foundation
I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that.
Alexander McQueen
Boundaries are a powerful tool in your arsenal for creating a harmonious life that you are proud of and that you find deeply rich and fulfilling.
Christopher Howard
....Going into the unknown gives you a thrill. The heart starts pulsating again; again you are alive, fully alive. Every fibre of your being is alive because you have accepted the challenge of the unknown.
Osho
Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.

And then eventually, we meet the right people or the rightness in the people we know. That is a certainty too. Alchemy. Change yourself and you change your world and you change THE world.

It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.
James Baldwin
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man (or a woman), you take it.
Malcolm X
Everybody has the right to be vulnerable. Everybody has the right to be human and everybody has the right to be a superstar too. The tenets of being alive as far as I am concerned. Believe it and live it.

Our true friends are revealed in times of misfortune. It's in these moments that we gain insight in terms of who people really are. I don't know if you can relate to this, but in my own life I have found myself on several occassions wondering if I even had any real friends. I've had many many many acquaintances, but what about real friends....
Christopher Howard
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing.
Edmund Burke
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X
True love (of any kind, not just romantic) is mature love is soul love is love.

About all you can do in life is be true to who YOU are... Some will love you... Some will respect you… And some won’t like you at all... But be true and watch the miracle of your life unfold.
People Who Inspire Us
Let a person radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life.
James Allen
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
Buddha
No matter how much you search you will find only yourself.
The Seer's Wisdom
If everyone had self esteem, there would be no wars, no pain and no hate. 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world.' (Ghandi). Consciousness.

The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes my measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.
George Bernard Shaw
If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Find one enemy to keep you alert.
Paulo Coelho
Mediocre people will always try and keep you mediocre too. A London taxi driver in 1997. He owned a stable of horses on the side.
Haters are confused admirers.
Paulo Coelho
The generic truth is the same. Whether it is fascism, fascist misogyny, hatred of men, homophobia, racism, rape, contempt for vulnerability, ie the homeless or the lost, or the disabled, greed of the rich and squashing of the poor, fattism, contempt for anyone or just plain meanness in any area. The generic truth is human rights. Do we respect the rights of human beings? Do we treat people with love.
Amera Ziganii Rao ©
I am ready. And anyone who cannot help me or support me has to be left behind. That is the way of warrior. The way of Samurai. And in case you hadn't realised, that is who I am. I flow with the water. I move like sand. I am alchemist, magician, creator and love. The genius of Soul is the genius of me. Love me or hate me, you will never forget me.
Amera Ziganii Rao ©
People often think they can hate some people and love others fully, but its hard. Love and Hate can't live in the same heart. The happiest people we know probably don't just love their spouses & kids and hate a number of other people. They have a smile and something good to say for almost everyone. Probably no enemies - and not much to fear.
Dan Baker
In a competition of love we'll all share in the victory, no matter who comes first.
Muhammad Ali
For thousands of years we have been searching for happiness. Happiness is the lost paradise. Humans have worked so hard to reach this point, and this is part of the evolution of the mind. This is the future of humanity.
Don Miguel Ruiz
When there are winds of change, it's our spiritual, mental and emotional skills, as well as our life experiences that help us ride out the storm. Remember, you and only you are the captain of your ship. So, take charge of your life, watch the winds, re-position your sails and sail forth!
Inner-Space London
Now is the moment to hold each other - to embrace our differences in love - to share unconditional universal service to all life.
Hal Manogue
What's the best advice you would give to anyone wanting to make it in their chosen career?
It’s not a choice. You do it or you don’t. The art, the freedom, the true love, the sex and the heart.
Amera Ziganii Rao ©
Maybe some women (and men) aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need
to run free til they find someone (or people) just as wild to run with them.
Carrie Bradshaw
The warrior knows that he/she must lose in order to gain, and so he/she sacrifices. He/she sacrifices his/her food, he sacrifices his/her sexual longings, his/her everyday comforts, in order that he/she has the power to change and to help others to change.
Eric Montaigue
We dishonor the journey of our lives by not acknowledging the worth of our seeming errors as our great teachers of wisdom. Remove one failed relationship or one foolish choice, and one would also have to remove as much wisdom and insight.
The Seer's Wisdom
..Then that same person tells you that you have no right to be vulnerable, so the damage becomes a terrible and crippling liability...thing to do then is to stop the denial and the illusionary sentimentality. Only then can you set yourself free. Free to feel vulnerable and find the courage WITH the vulnerability, to achieve everything and anything that you want and so deserve.
