The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom. (Georg Hegel, 1821
Are we still aware of our birthright that an individual is a sovereign over himself, over his own body and mind, as John Stuart Mill proclaimed in his philosophical work “On Liberty “?
Or are we in the fangs of the tyranny of mass media, social media, instagram, Facebook and Co. (consumerism and political correctness)?
I will start this new year with reflections on freedom, which for me means to follow the higher Inner Self, which makes itself known as intuition and the soft inner voice.
As our life today is so overloaded with noise and pictures from the outside we are very little in touch with that what we really are and what it is we want in life.
Practice stillness……..and listen within…….
C.G. Jung said: “Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens.
Let us awaken from the dream and be free…….
It is an ongoing process but ….who shall the skylark command not to sing?
