Truth is that we did not come into this world as empty shells and voids that need to be filled. We came here divinely prepared and ready, not only to explore and learn, but to express and gift this world with blessings it may not have seen before. So, when we find ourselves in conflict with the world, unfortunately, we may be seen as problems. We may be diagnosed with disorders made out of thin air for nothing more than profits. We are expected to fit into a system that never attempts to adapt to our uniqueness, instead.
We come into this world pure to be nurtured and as plants to be watered and blossom into great tall trees. However, on this revolving ball, we find a system that expects a fig tree to bear apples. Our natural path is dwarfed into a conveyor belt of products whose life energy must be harvested and exploited. In this extractive system, those who pursue the natural path of truth must be seen as dissidents and are simply punished or starved.
To reclaim our power is not to forge a new path. It is about returning home mentally, physically and spiritually. It requires not only coming back to our mental senses but also acknowledging and reclaiming our natural habitat, what we today misguidedly refer to as nature. Until then, our perpetual struggle with mental health shall be a constant reminder. Reclaiming our power is both personal and collective. It is a return to the system that is natural and encompasses all aspects of life in one – it is called Ubuntu. This system is more than a way of life. It is a weapon of mass destruction to all systems of enslavement and self-destructive ideologies of consumerism and individualism. It is the only system that will truly liberate our souls from all deceptive economic and political schemes.
To reclaim our ultimate power is to restore our spirit to its default settings. It is not only to learn, but even more important, to unlearn and uproot the reins of fear that have been systemically entrenched in the footprints of our soul. To reclaim that power, we must also free ourselves from all the tools meant to make us soft and docile enough to be manipulated and become pawns in this ruthless game of life.
To reclaim our means to pledge our allegiance to nothing more than the truth, even if it may mean a sacrifice of a life that we will eventually come to the end anyway. However, as much as this power is transformative and liberating, it must not be violent. We have come far enough and have grown wiser that today’s war is spiritual, and the mind is the battlefield. Therefore, to reclaim our power would mean to be mentally and spiritually formidable. This is only possible when we regain control of information and create our own narrative.
We can simply do so by turning and tuning into the source of the news on the television whose main purpose is not more than telling lies to our vision. Instead of reading one book over and over due to fear of burning in eternal fire, we can also read more, especially the forbidden ones, so that we may not burn from the earthly one.
