Born to be Free - Mary Vavrick

My reading is taken from the Science of Mind magazine, March 2023 daily guides – written by Rev. Dr. Michael Gott.

He begins with a quote by Ernest Holmes: ”The divine plan is one of freedom; bondage is not god – ordained.  Freedom is the birth right of every living soul.”  Ernest Holmes, he then says, and other great spiritual teachers have recognized that what we truly seek in life is freedom.  Freedom from thoughts that bind and blind us. Freedom of expression and of creativity.  Freedom to realize the life of our deepest desires and highest dreams.

And your life of freedom will be different from mine. Your path to freedom is different from mine, too. Each of us is on a truly unique journey of discovery and creation. Though every one of the infinite expressions of spirit are unique, we remain one, wholly and eternally connected to source. This is why we can know that whatever comes to us is for us, because there is only ever one thing happening – the life, the love, the perfection of God.

If we know this to be true, we know we have never been nor could we ever be harmed, and we are free – free to live this human life fully, with all its attendant color and texture, its births and deaths, its triumphs and tragedies, all of it integrated into our essential wholeness.

You are free today. Live into that freedom with joy and confidence.

I now anchor these thoughts with words by Rumi: “you were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.”
