The Independence Blessing

Reflection #93: On this day of celebration of independence, may you find the true freedom of the heart.

On this day of celebration of independence, may you find the true freedom of the heart.

May you transcend all dogma, all programming, all indoctrination, and all injected belief; for only then, when you have made yourself completely empty, can you once again feast in communion at the table of the divine mystery.

And while you may not be free in the outer darkness of the world, may you find the blessing of the true freedom that bathes in inner divine light.

There, may you discover your true Self, in divine harmony with The Sovereign Artist, where, after the feast, you will enjoy the fireworks of the heart, the cannon-fire of the soul, and the symphony of The Divine, all celebrating you on your Independence Day.

“A saint is a person who has lived their own life, not someone else’s or a projection of what others think a life should be.” — Thomas Merton

No AI Zone: Everything written in this post (and all my posts) is written 100% by me, Clint “Clintavo” Watson, a flesh and blood human seeking to grow my soul and come home my truest self; for that is the essence of creativity. I do not use AI to assist me with writing — that would deny me the very growth of my world through writing that I seek.

I only rarely use AI images with my (non-AI) writing. On the rare occasions I do use an AI image (usually fiction), I also feature at least one artwork by a human artist with image credits and links to their work or, if I can’t find a suitable image, I donate a free month of website service to one of our artist customers at my SaaS company, FASO Artist Websites.

Poetic expression, spiritual ideas, and musings upon beauty, truth and goodness should be free to spread far and wide. Hence, I have not paywalled the work on Reflections of the Sovereign Artist. However, if you’re able to become a paid subscriber, I’d be eternally grateful. It would help, encourage and enable me to continue exploring these topics and allow me to keep it accessible for a world that is in desperate need of beauty, truth, goodness and love. — Creatively, Clintavo.
