Freedom is not a gift, it is a hard-eaned reward. Some generations fight for it, and later generations take it for granted. Freedom is always associated with risk, because the only type of person who does not undertake any risks is a slave, because he does not make any decisions and does not have free will. I believe that most of what is happening today in the world is about waking up human consciousness. Any historical and political figures are just pawns in this game. If their actions seem programmed then that's what they are exactly, programmed. I believe we are witnessing an exam in humanity and free will for every soul here on Earth. If you can't handle free will and responsibility, you are not yet ready to see higher truths. I just hope that the more tense the situation becomes, the more souls will open their eyes. What do you think?

I don't believe we are one. We may be connected, but I can see no point in giving anybody a unique experience just to merge then everything in one big heap. Do you think a victim of a serial killer would be willing to join his emotions and consciousness with the murderer? I don't believe so. Moreover, there is no use in spiritual progress for any individual soul if it's gonna unite with the worst criminals after death. I am not implying that those criminals are not people or they do not deserve love. But joining them in one consciousness will reduce to zero all your efforts to develop certain qualities or refine your understanding of things while you are here.
