Freedom & Security

Share |


A lot of people tell us that we have to give up some of our freedom in order to enjoy security. But that isn't true. The truth is that if we give up our freedom we will have neither freedom nor security.*

Down through the ages, people have always found what they thought were good reasons to trade away freedom for security. But they, or their descendants, have always lived to regret that tradeoff. The reason is that freedom and security are not just about what we do. They are also about how we do what we do.

Human beings are blessed with an internal sixth sense, an ability to feel when something isn’t quite right. That internal compass tells us when we are doing something in a way that dishonors free will. When we act in a way that dishonors free will, we set in motion an undercurrent of forces that react against our action. That is a spiritual law, and it plays out in human history everywhere we look.

As we look at the way our national government is going about the passage of health care legislation, environmental legislation, and other pieces of social engineering, can we honestly say that Washington D.C. is honoring the free will of the American people? Look at it this way - if there were four people in a life boat and one wanted to go east and the other three wanted to go west, the one who wanted to go east might well think that the other three were being oppositional. But if he insisted on going east and taking everyone else with him, that would be a dishonoring of free will, wouldn't it?

Many polls show that almost 60% of the American people are opposed to what the Democrats are trying to do, and almost 80% of the American people don't like how they are trying to do it. For the Democrats to proceed with their legislative activities in the face of such opposition is clearly a dishonoring of free will. By acting in that fashion, the Democrats are setting in play forces that will react against the actions they are now taking, because that is how the Spiritual laws of the Universe function. 

Let those who have ears hear.

* From its inception to the present, America has been blessed to have access to visionaries who understood this truth:

     “A man's admiration for absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.” Alexis de Tocqueville

     “Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.” Robert A Heinlein

     “It has been well said that really up-to-date liberals do not care what people do, as long as it is compulsory.” George Will

     “You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or a right. There is only an up or down:  up to man's age-old dream - the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order - or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.” Ronald Reagan
