The Declaration of Human Freedom

Archangel Michael (Via Steve Beckow), Feb. 19, 2011

Every being is a divine and eternal soul living in a temporal body. Every being was alive before birth and will live after death.

Every soul enters into physical life for the purpose of experience and education, that it may, in the course of many lifetimes, learn its true identity as a fragment of the Divine.

Life itself is a constant process of spiritual evolution and unfoldment, based on free choice, that continues until such time as we realize our true nature and return to the Divine from which we came.

No soul enters life to serve another, except by choice, but to serve its own purpose and that of the Divine from which it came.

All life is governed by natural and universal laws which precede and outweigh the laws of humanity. These laws, such as the law of karma, the law of attraction, and the law of free will, are decreed by God to order existence and assist each person to achieve life’s purpose.

No government can or should survive that derives its existence from the enforced submission of its people or that denies its people their basic rights and freedoms.

Life is a movement from one existence to another, in varied venues throughout the universe and in other universes and dimensions of existence. We are not alone in the universe but share it with other civilizations, most of them peace-loving, many of whom are more advanced than we are, some of whom can be seen with our eyes and some of whom cannot.

The evidence of our five senses is not the final arbiter of existence. Humans are spiritual as well as physical entities and the spiritual side of life transcends the physical. God is a Spirit and the final touchstone of God’s Truth is not physical but spiritual. The Truth is to be found within.

God is one and, because of this, souls are one. They form a unity. They are meant to live in peace and harmony together in a “common unity” or community. The use of force to settle affairs runs contrary to natural law. Every person should have the right to conduct his or her own affairs without force, as long as his or her choices do not harm another.

No person shall be forced into marriage against his or her will. No woman shall be forced to bear or not bear children, against her will. No person shall be forced to hold or not hold views or worship in a manner contrary to his or her choice. Nothing vital to existence shall be withheld from another if it is within the community’s power to give.

Every person shall retain the ability to think, speak, and act as they choose, as long as they not harm another. Every person has the right to choose, study and practice the education and career of their choice without interference, provided they not harm another.

No one has the right to kill another. No one has the right to steal from another. No one has the right to force himself or herself upon another in any way.

Any government that harms its citizens, deprives them of their property or rights without their consent, or makes offensive war upon its neighbors, no matter how it misrepresents the situation, has lost its legitimacy. No government may govern without the consent of its people. All governments are tasked with seeing to the wellbeing of their citizens. Any government which forces its citizens to see to its own wellbeing without attending to theirs has lost its legitimacy.

Men and women are meant to live fulfilling lives, free of want, wherever they wish and under the conditions they desire, providing their choices do not harm another and are humanly attainable.

Children are meant to live lives under the beneficent protection of all, free of exploitation, with unhindered access to the necessities of life, education, and health care.

All forms of exploitation, oppression, and persecution run counter to universal and natural law. All disagreements are meant to be resolved amicably.

Any human law that runs counter to natural and universal law is invalid and should not survive. The enactment or enforcement of human law that runs counter to natural and universal law brings consequences that cannot be escaped, in this life or another. While one may escape temporal justice, one does not escape divine justice.

All outcomes are to the greater glory of God and to God do we look for the fulfillment of our needs and for love, peace, and wisdom. So let it be. Aum/Amen.

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

O'Malley launches White House bid, knocks rival Clinton

 Baltimore (AFP) - Former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, a onetime Hillary Clinton loyalist, launched his White House campaign Saturday, warning the Democratic frontrunner that the presidency was not her "crown" for the taking.

Calling for a revival of an American dream he described as "hanging by a thread," O'Malley highlighted income inequality and pledged to close "a growing gap of injustice" in America should he prevail in his uphill challenge.

He hit out at "powerful, wealthy special interests" that he said have conspired to line pockets of the rich while leaving increasing numbers of Americans behind, despite more than six years with Democrat Barack Obama in the White House.

"Our economic and political system is upside down and backwards and it is time to turn it around," O'Malley told hundreds of supporters in a park overlooking downtown Baltimore.

The 52-year-old is youthful, charismatic, and brings to his campaign executive leadership experience as a two-term Baltimore mayor and two-term state governor.

But he is an unknown to most Americans who live outside the Washington-New York corridor where his political successes have been more broadly recognized.

O'Malley supported Clinton's ill-fated 2008 presidential run, but he signaled Saturday that despite her overwhelming frontrunner status, it would not be a waltz to the nomination for Clinton in 2016.

He took a swipe at the two families that have led the country for much of the past quarter century, saying he knew Wall Street would have no problem accepting another Clinton or Bush in the White House.

"The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth... between two royal families," O'Malley boomed, to loud applause.

In the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination, however, the 67-year-old Clinton enjoys a huge lead over her two declared rivals -- liberal independent Senator Bernie Sanders, 73, and now O'Malley.

According to RealClearPolitics.com, O'Malley polls at less than one percent to Clinton's 63.6 percent. Sanders' support is 8.8 percent.

Clinton, who reportedly received a call from O'Malley before his campaign launch, used Twitter to welcome her new rival.

"Welcome to the race, Gov. O'Malley," she tweeted. "Looking forward to discussing strong families and communities."

The narrow Democratic race could not be more different than the stampede of politicians seeking the Republican Party nomination.

Eight candidates are already in the Republican contest and eight more are all but certain to jump in, including Jeb Bush, the son and brother of two former presidents.

'Disappointed' with Hillary

O'Malley, who headed straight to Iowa to campaign in the state that votes first in the nominations process, seeks to tap into a new generation of voters disconnected from the Clintons or Bushes.

They include Baltimore resident and physician Alissa Zingman, 32, who praised the former governor for taking positions on several issues, including opposition to a huge trade accord that Washington is secretly negotiating with 11 other Pacific Rim nations.

"I've been really disappointed with how little I've seen from Hillary," Zingman told AFP at O'Malley's launch, adding that the former top diplomat "doesn't have an excuse" for not weighing in on the trade deal.

O'Malley kicked off his campaign in Baltimore, a city rocked by riots last month.

The violence highlighted aggressive "zero-tolerance" police tactics that O'Malley instituted while he was mayor. The approach lowered the crime rate but led to soaring arrests and accusations of discrimination against Baltimore's inner-city minorities.

"It was a heartbreaking night for all of us," O'Malley said.

"But there is something to be learned from that night, and there is something to be offered to our country from those flames," he said.

Opponents to the policing tactics protested near the O'Malley rally, chanting "Black lives matter" and "You are lying!"

Megan Kenny, holding up a sign that read "Stop killer cops," said she opposes O'Malley's candidacy because of the zero-tolerance polices "he designed and implemented."

"Structural racism is alive and it's working, and it needs to be dismantled, and a whole new paradigm needs to be rebuilt," she said.

O'Malley highlighted his successes in areas like education, immigration reform and same-sex marriage.

"We raised the minimum wage," he said. "We achieved top rankings for innovation, entrepreneurship, and minority and women's business development."

He also promised greater attention to climate change, improved conditions for the renewable energy industry and to rebuild American cities as places of "hope, opportunity and justice for all."
