One of the key changes that needs to happen to enable the transformation of our humanity is to reclaim our personal power to think for ourselves, to discern truth from disinformation, and to stand firm for what we know is right.<\/p>\n<p>The Source that created us endowed us with free-will and the power to create with our thoughts, words, and deeds. Yet many of us are squandering these endowments, squandering them so badly that the probable future of humanity is not looking very bright. Humanity is at a critical junction in its history \u2014 one road leads to a very bleak future, and the other has the potential to be a new golden age. The outcome depends on us, each one of us, starting right now and it starts by freeing your mind! The key to reclaiming our freedom and creating a better world is for each of us to reclaim our\u00a0<em>sovereignty<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What is Sovereignty?<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cSovereign\u201d refers to the power or right that a nation\/state or individual has to determine its own destiny \u2014 to not be controlled by others. The ability to determine one\u2019s own destiny has been termed SELF-DETERMINATION and it is one aspect of the timeless ideal called FREEDOM. Self-determination and freedom are said to be intrinsic rights bestowed on us by Source\/God. The American founding fathers firmly thought so and called these \u201cinalienable\u201d rights. Personal sovereignty refers to the intrinsic right of an INDIVIDUAL to self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>But having the right of sovereignty is not the same as BEING sovereign. One must assert a right through one\u2019s thoughts and actions, or the right is essentially lost. Ultimately your sovereignty has to be demonstrated. The classic saying \u201cFreedom is not free\u201d echoes this idea \u2014 rights must be claimed by the constant application of attention, thought, and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>An important part of being truly free is the responsibility to be highly discerning about the ideas, beliefs, and attitudes that we choose to accept from society. In fact, we must be independent minded and confident enough to form our own ideas, beliefs, and attitudes \u2014 despite the pressure that society puts on us to conform. We must not just blindly accept everything our government, religions, teachers, and so-called \u201cexperts\u201d want us to believe. Doing so gives away our power and allows the \u201cpowers that be\u201d to create a world that serves their agenda \u2014 a world that might not be in our best interest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart.jpg 799w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/do-not-believe-in-anything-that-does-not-resonate-with-your-heart-585x348.jpg 585w\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"475\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Why Personal Sovereignty is Important<\/h3>\n<p>If we don\u2019t start forming our own beliefs, trusting our inner knowledge, and standing for what we know in our hearts is right, the future of our world will be defined and created by a very few with a very self-serving agenda. In this world that worships the almighty dollar commercial interests are steering the ship. We have allowed them to hijack our government, our religions, our media, and our beliefs and attitudes \u2014 materialism, consumerism, separatism, and fear serve their interests.<\/p>\n<h3>Giving Away Our Power<\/h3>\n<p>But the \u201cpowers that be\u201d only steer the ship because we\u2019ve bought into all the beliefs and attitudes and have let ourselves become apathetic and disengaged. So let\u2019s not point fingers and blame those that we perceive are manipulating us. Realize the we are ALLOWING ourselves to be manipulated, allowing ourselves to be taken to a future not of our design. We are fully responsible for everything about our lives including what we let happen to us, and we are letting a lot happen to us. Don\u2019t fall into the \u201cvictim mentality\u201d trap and get caught up in the blame and complain game \u2014 that only gives away your power.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/public-passive-apathetic-distracted-585x349.jpg 585w\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"560\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Far too many of us are just are letting our beliefs and values be determined by others. Far too many of us are just going along with what we are told, following what our government, church, teachers, or idols have told us to believe, or do, or be, explicitly or implicitly.<\/p>\n<p>Far too many of us are deferring to the opinions and ideas of the \u201cAUTHORITIES\u201d. This gives away our power and allows others to control us. And often times the \u201cauthorities\u201d, or those that control\/influence them, have hidden agendas that are not in our best interest.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"rounded floating quoted\"><p>Mass beliefs in the power of outside authorities are firmly entrenched in your psyche \u2026 raising many questions about the truth of who you are and why you place your trust outside yourself.<cite>\u2014 Barbara Marciniak,\u00a0<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To reclaim our power we need to start forming OUR OWN beliefs, trust our inner truth, and do what WE KNOW is right, not what others tell us, or society expects. We need to engage our hearts and minds and stand firm in what we know is true and right. If we don\u2019t do this soon, we might find ourselves living in a dystopian future like the ones explored in numerous fiction novels.<\/p>\n<p>The Erosion of Freedom in The Age of Distraction, Obsession, and Fear<\/p>\n<p>In this era dominated by consumerism, materialism, and the pursuit of the almighty dollar many of us are so busy and distracted by chasing the money, and the possessions, and the thrills that we are failing to see that we are gradually giving away more and more of our power and freedom. This slow erosion is going on all around us, subtly and not so subtly, on many levels.<\/p>\n<p>Our obsession with the accumulation of possessions \u2014 materialism and consumerism \u2014 keeps us distracted from what really matters. Our fixation on all the dangerous, bad, fearful things happening in the world keeps us distracted from what\u2019s important. All the wars including the \u201cwar on terrorism\u201d and the \u201cwar on drugs\u201d keep us mesmerized in fear.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"rounded floating quoted\"><p>\u201cYour power ends where your fear begins.\u201d\u00a0\u2014 Barbara Marciniak,\u00a0Path of Empowerment<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And who does this all serve? It serves shadowy commercial and political interests and the military-industrial complex and keeps them in the power and in the money. For them it\u2019s all about the money, nothing else seems to matter, no higher purpose than to serve themselves. And they are masters of manipulation and are capitalizing on our weaknesses and our fears. Isn\u2019t it obvious? Haven\u2019t we had enough of this?<\/p>\n<h3>Reclaiming Our Power<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s our divine right and responsibility to own our beliefs, ideas, principles, and values. It\u2019s time we reclaim our confidence in our inner knowledge and have the courage to stand for truth and justice despite what our institutions, the media, and others may be telling us. We need to stop blaming the system and wake-up from our laziness, distractions, and dependencies to reclaim our power so we can create a better world!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to remember who you really are, not who others or society says you are or can be. It is time to stand in your own personal truths, not what others have told you is true. It is time to form your own beliefs, rather than just adopt what others believe. It is time to stand for what you know in your heart is right, rather than what society tells you is right, even if it means standing alone.<\/p>\n<p>You are a slice of the powerful infinite being that we call the Universe, the source of \u201cAll That Is\u201d. Stand in that power confidently! BE TRUE TO YOURSELF and STOP being a FOLLOWER!<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need teachers, experts, professors, gurus, priests, pastors, church leaders, or heroes\/idols to tell you what to believe, or what the truth is, or to show you how to connect with God. You don\u2019t need THEIR beliefs, ideologies, or specific practices that they swear are the one and only way to reach the truth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wakingtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/we-dont-need-no-thought-control-585x349.jpg 585w\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"560\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is all within you, all the knowledge of the universe is deep within you.
