We Want To Be Free

Do you know we are all children?

And do you know on every planet there are children too? I can’t speak to them, but I know they exist.
Some of them are always awake, more than we are, but our wonder and curiosity are still the same.

And for some reason, this world has created fear, thus limiting us to express our natural curiosity. That curiosity that is essential for our growth and evolution. We are forbidden to explore that essence that leads us to new discoveries. They want to rob us of our inner world and wonder. Our beauty – our faith in life.

They’ve taught us to fear death, when in truth beyond the physical plane lies eternal life and immortality.

They’ve taught us to fear anything beyond this world, anything beyond what we see with our human eyes; when in truth other children live out there beyond the stars we see at night, beyond the planets we’ve named and comets that form our galaxy. Other children that live in those worlds and beautiful places we dream of – places of peace and unity and love. Other children that live in sync with their dreams and make their dreamworlds a reality they can both see and live. They live in what we call utopia.
Yes, these children live the possibilities we often ignore and shun because of the life we live, but which we ardently wish for.

They’ve taught us to call them Father and worship false gods, when in truth our umbilical cord connects us to the heart of the universe – the source of life, of creation, of everything: our true origin.

They’ve taught us a blind faith that cripples true hope. The kind of blind faith that instills fear and ignorance. That blind faith that doesn’t allow you to explore other concepts and new ideas; when in truth faith is simply considering the “unseen” with eyes wide open and believing there is something more and beyond what we know now. It’s being aware of the possibilities in order to make discoveries.

We, the children of the earth, want to sail the stars and reach the extremities of the unknown and the mysterious within the confines of our minds as we walk in our mortal bodies. We know we have wings, we now want to use them.

We want to weave these threads of truth and existence into ourselves and bind them with one another- each of us a link of the collective whole. We want to be together and feel as though we’ve never been alone.

We want to be brothers and sisters, for in our dreams we play with the children we constantly fight with. We want to be friends and never stand alone in the dark again. It’s so lonely being divided into these lands we call countries.

Why can’t we visit our friends on the other side of the world?

Why can’t we be friends with the children of other worlds?

We want our wings – the wings of imagination, and learn what we need to learn in order to grow and evolve. We are not afraid. Our wonder for other worlds and galaxies is too great – we always dream. It is in our nature. Let us explore.

Let us live our truths and what we are. Let us tap into our essence for we’re still innocent.

Let us be.

We want to be free.

~ Lisa

Humans are naturally curious. I have faith that one day we will meet these other children with eyes wide open…for we are still curious.

I hope you all know what I mean when I say “them” in this piece. And I hope you know what I mean when I call ourselves “children.”

    And you are free Erika – no one can imprison you without your consent and I see you do not give it. Nor do I. This is so incredibly profound I wonder that you are not celebrated as the prophet of the age – one who exposes truth that all should see – our umbilical cord connects us to the heart of the universe – the source of life, of creation, of everything: our true origin. Indeed it does – I not only want to believe, I do believe in a Source, a “God” if you will, an Energy that connects us all. This is beyond brilliant – this is a gospel of hope.

  • Oh Lianne….I am humbled by your generous comment. And yes, I also believe there is an energy that connects us all and brings us together….we are much more than we appear to be. I really hope we can awaken all humans and encourage them to explore…there’s so much to learn from life. ..and life somewhere out there as well – those other children.
    I truly appreciate your words Lianne…always so warm and kind. xx
