The Soul’s Call to Freedom with Rev. Dr. Maureen Hoyt
Namaste is a clarion call for the Soul to express its Beingness, freely, boldly, unapologetically, and to be fully what it already is! We must recognize the Divine in ourselves, emancipate ourselves, and be the meta-physicians who heal ourselves first. Harriet Tubman could free others because she herself was free!
We see a world in which each and every person lives in alignment with his/her highest
spiritual principle, emphasizing unity with God and connection with each other; a world
in which individually and collectively we are called to a higher state of consciousness
and action.
Freedom: Freedom is the birthright of every individual. We are free to choose and create our experience of life.
“As the inner light dawns, it delivers the outer life from bondage. This is in line with the teaching that everything is from within out. When the soul knows freedom, the law will free the body, and the outer life will express health, happiness and success. All things work for our good. Even that which we call evil is salutary, leading us to the Way, the Truth and the Life. Suffering should teach us a lesson which would cause us to refrain from making more mistakes; it carries a blessing with it when we learn how to garner knowledge from experience.” – Science of Mind
1. First – Be yourself. The world will adapt. In the Netflix documentary, Disclosure, transgender and non-binary people discuss what it was like to grow up seeing so few images of themselves in the media. The few roles transgender actors received were often for prostitutes, psychopaths, or characters who were hiding their biological gender identity. Today, transgender people have more visibility and acceptance than ever before. Though there is still progress to be made, the universe has shifted to correspond with the community’s demand to express themselves authentically. Normalizing the “they/them” pronouns. Expanding our definitions of gender and sexuality. Authentically, we are an embodiment of the Divine.
2. Second – We weren’t born to fit in, we were born to stand out. In the song “Born This Way”, Lady Gaga sings “I'm beautiful in my way, 'Cause God makes no mistakes.
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way.” Regardless of what anyone says, our unique gifts have a purpose. It’s our responsibility to be ourselves. The more we express ourselves authentically, the more we inspire others to do the same. This is how we create a world that works for everyone. To be ourselves while showing unconditional love and acceptance for others who are expressing themselves authentically.
3. Third – Mistakes are blessings that serve as an opportunity for a lesson learned. The mistakes learned from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s is being used as guidance for the Civil Rights Revolution we’re living in today. The technology we’ve grown accustomed to: our cell phones, computers and electric cars were all developed from lessons learned of the past. People around the world are showing unconditional love and acceptance to their LGBT+ loved ones after learning from the mistakes of previous generations.
We are what the world has been waiting for. Any challenges we’ve ever faced in our lives have prepared us for this moment. Now is the time to commit to showing up authentically and choose to live the life we’ve always dreamed. The more of us choose to live authentically, the more we inspire others to do the same. When we show unconditional love and acceptance to others, we are serving by example. If we want to see more unity, peace and joy in the world, we have to commit to experiencing these qualities in our own lives.
