Freedom of independence is obtained when you surpass all family, social, or religious prejudices and fulfill your mission with no fear of arrows others may launch at you. To be free is to not ensconce oneself within the protection of any support.

If you rely on any talismans, images, or other religious items for your protection, you are not free. If you rely on an overprotective mother/father to always provide you with aid and assistance, you are enchained. If you cannot break a dishonest relationship because of a spouse’s financial stability in spite of his/her bad behavior toward you, you are in slavery.

In order for you to be worthy, develop the habit of making yourself independent.

Happy Fourth of July!
