Mental Freedom

Jennifred Jones

The tyranny of the mind.

God wants to set us free from debilitating thoughts. That’s why he says cast your cares upon him. He does not want us bound in any area of our life- physical, emotional or mental.

He says he has given us a sound mind so we can make good choices and follow them instead of being led astray. We have to watch what we feed our mind because what we feed it will determine its strength and ultimately direct our body in that direction.

There are many mental poisons trying to feed us…through things we look at, read and listen to which may seem harmless and small at first…how could they hurt me? But the buildup over time is cumulative, and the end result will be detrimental to ourselves and others.

The mind is the body’s computer directing our every move. If we allow mental viruses to infiltrate – our hard drive can become slow, send wrong messages, get information mixed up, maybe even shut down.

Let’s stay free!

Made to Be Free

Jennifred Jones

We were made to be free!

Made to be a free people to think what we like, to make what we like, to build what we like to benefit us, our families and our communities and make them strong.

People who are not free or don’t know they can be free are jealous of those who are free and try to hold them back to prevent their freedoms. They don’t want them to be free.

Misery loves company. When we’re not free, we don’t want to be alone in our misery. We want to have others with us.

Why not decide to be free and invite others into that space?… The space where you can think good, make good, do good and be strong together.

This can become quite a unified force to make wrong things right.

The Safety of a Negative Mind

Jennifred Jones

It’s not my fault! I knew it would happen! It was inevitable, out of my control!

The false safety of a negative mind.

It just coasts along, no responsibility, what will be will be… I’m just here for the ride and I’ll complain about stuff since it’s all out of my hands.

No worries…a Kuna ma tata. (or however it’s spelled)

(But I’m miserable this way).

That’s the real truth of it all. People want the freedom to direct their own lives, make their own decisions, but it takes effort on their part to think, plan, decide, compare this vs that… And so it becomes easier to let others do all the thinking for them and then complain about the results and be miserable.

This is the reason America came into being. People were tired of being told how and what to think, and all the things they couldn’t do. So they set sail in hopes of a better, howbeit much harder tomorrow, and obtained it.

This is the cost of freedom – brought about by a ‘we-can-do-it’ mind. It will always go against the current, clearing the path for others.

Let’s shake off the miserable false sense of security. Let’s take on our responsibility to go, be and do what we really want.

What can I plan on today?
