This world is not a permanent place, it is a passage, a road on which
you are passing. There are two kinds of people here: One is the kind of
those who have sold their souls for eternal damnation, the other is of
those who have purchased their souls and freed them from damnation.
"Imam Ali A.S.
Everyone wants to be free. There are no exceptions. Everyone wants the
freedom to live the way they want to. Everyone hates being told what to
do, and everyone dreads the possibility of their own decisions being
influenced by anyone else. Everyone wants to feel that they are the ones
influencing their own lives, that they are the only masters of their
decisions. Everyone wants to be free. There's no arguing that.
Which is why everyone calls for freedom of speech, the freedom to
express your opinions, the freedom to practice whatever religion you
want, the freedom to wear whatever you want, the freedom to choose who
makes up your government, the freedom to choose the kinds of food you
eat and the products or services you use....and it goes on.
And today, almost everyone's living in a state of perceived freedom.
Everyone's happy looking out into the world from their own bubbles.
What they don't realize is that they couldn't be further from freedom if they tried
“I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.” says
Antoine de Saint- Exupery, French Pilot, Writer and Author of 'The Little
Prince', 1900-1944)
Well then, there is something called enslaving people in their faces-
telling them what to do and what not to do and in cases like this, the
enslaved person knows they are enslaved. There is another thing which is
much worse, where the enslaved is in a perceived state of freedom, but
they are being told what to do and what not to do, except the difference
this time is a control of the MIND whereby the enslaved person stays
under the impression that they are behaving out of own free will and
that they are free souls.
And this is the worst kind of slavery, because not only are their
physical actions controlled but so are their hearts and souls, to the
point that, in the case they ever face a free decision to make, they
will prefer being enslaved. Their slavery has become a part of
themselves so much so that stepping out of it is stepping out of the
comfort zone. Empowering hearts and minds is the perfect perfect way to
control the masses. Because:
"Until the become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they
they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." -"1984" George Orwell
How can you think you are free when you are being fed so much from every
corner, on all the things you can use to make you "happy"? Look at
everybody around you and what they are chasing- they are all victims of
this system that is enforcing everyone to run after worldly things- that
give you a moment of empty pleasure, and then leaves you still hungry
for more and more, until there is nothing left to take and yet you find
yourself still unhappy and still unsatisfied.
They feed you images of almost naked women, images of money and more
money, alcohol and drugs, trying to appeal to all your senses and engulf
you into their slavery. If you have no foundation in yourself to start
with, or an unstable one, you are going to be one of their successful
projects- another easy victim, another mind and heart to control,
another soul sold to us.
If you wear the clothes that the magazines tell you to wear, eat the
food that the tv ads tell you to eat, look for the kind of love that
the movies tell you you'll find, spend your savings on a car they tell
you will turn heads, believe the stories on the news that the media
tells you to believe, preach to others the stuff they tell you to
preach; if you find yourself attaching your own value to material
things, if you find yourself taking the word of the news withfout any
questioning, if you find yourself referring to movies for the definition
of what's cool and what's not, if you find yourself listening to their
music with all your heart and letting the words sink, if you find
yourself constantly referring to new rules of what to think, believe,
act,
know then, that you are not free.
And you'll never be free until you realize that you can only be truly
happy when you are truly free. You can never be truly free unless your
happiness does not rely on anything material, anything worldly, anything
TEMPORARY. When you think for yourself. When you let go of all these
desires being forced into you, and focus on true soulful nutrition and
inner peace. When your one and only reliance is one the One and Only Independent God, the Only Perfection, who alone can guarantee your
happiness and your freedom.
Because you are a human, you have the right to be free, and the only thing worthy of your total submission is Perfection.
So don't be a sheep in the flock, and don't give up your soul to anyone. Ask yourself, is this all the world has to offer?
3:160 If God helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who
is there, after that, that can help you? in God, then, let believers put
their trust.
2:16 These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction
2:90 Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls
9:111 God hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods;
for theirs in return is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His
cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth,
through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to
his covenant than God? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have
concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
