CLAIMING THE SELF
Throughout history, humankind has run far and fast from selfhood. It has been easier to allow others to think for us, to make our decisions, to determine what suits us, and to tell us how we should live. Humans have been pliably manipulated in order to accomplish the goals of greedy, other-determined rulers, as well as, by "polite" society.
It takes courage and insite to rebel against the mundane existence of not being our own persons. Pack or herd mentality is for the weak willed or the fainthearted. Claiming the Self, and one's own authority to make the decisions that will enrich one's growth, is called the Awakening.
If you belong to that rare, brave group of individuals who are their own persons, you have already reclaimed enough of your freewill to claim your rights as a spiritual warrior.
Those rights are simple: You have the right to own yourself by making the most of every opportunity the Great Mystery sends your way!
