THE AMERICAN DREAM – ARE WE REALLY FREE?
Copyright 2004, Geela
The promises of THE AMERICAN DREAM (to have it all and enjoy it
all, based on materialistic values system) has been holding us
captive and threatening to take our power and freedom away-
without our awareness, like a thief in the night.
Consciously or unconsciously we make daily decisions to either be
a master of our own ship or destiny, if you will, or be a slave
to our own circumstances and to other people's expectations and
belief systems that don't serve our highest good and purpose.
After all it's your life script - claim it and discover how your
own personal power can truly transform your life to make it an
adventure to be lived rather than a problem to be solved. Life
becomes more of a struggle only when we are not true to our own
calling and we give our power away.
Superficial/external values are indeed the ultimate slave master
that demand nothing less than our complete attention, and
sacrifice of our power and freedom. In order to be truly happy
and fulfilled, one must feel free. However, in a culture that
worships external values and is driven by the promises of THE
AMERICAN DREAM (to the point where we become slaves to our
addictions), one can't help but wonder if we are truly free in
America, Land of the Free. Just when we thought that slavery
ended with the Civil war, the rat race we are all caught up in,
in order to "get there", painfully reminds us that there are
still many slaves among us who are disguised as successful
people. But looks can be deceiving. Behind all the outward
appearances of having it all and enjoying it all, they are held
prisoners and victims of the promises of THE AMERICAN DREAM.
And sadly enough, those who do achieve THE AMERICAN DREAM
(after considerable sacrifice) eventually realize that when
you get "there," there is no "there" there. They eventually
discover that there is definitely more to life than achieving
material success.
Isn't it time to reclaim your own power and freedom and declare
your own independence? It's easy to do when you gain awareness
and develop your own spirituality. Remember that awareness and
the road to discovery and recovery run parallel. When you
become aware of your true nature, that is beyond the man-made,
narrow definition, you'll be amazed to discover real freedom,
real success and real joy that have been overlooked because of
limited awareness, misconceptions and false belief systems
perpetuated by THE AMERICAN DREAM, and reinforced by Hollywood
and the media. If you wish to live with purpose and meaning and
want to experience the difference between living consciously and
unconsciously, live by the motto: "He with the most joys lives,"
rather than "He with the most toys, lives." Don't underestimate
your power to change yourself and even the world - become
somebody's hero. All you have to do to break free is to resist
the temptation to live your life according to the interpretation
of what someone else expects you to be, do or have. Listen to
your heart and live by your rules. Why shouldn't you? After all,
it's YOUR life and YOUR dream.
