Discipline of Freedom

In my 20's I read a book called "YOGA Discipline of Freedom".  There is a passage in that book that captured my attention and deepened my understanding of biological - natural connections:

"Seeing rare beauty, hearing lovely sounds, even a happy man becomes strangely uneasy... perhaps he remembers, without knowing why, loves of another life buried deep in his being."

You can take a child from the parent, you can take a parent from the child but you cannot ever erase the biological natural connection between that parent and a child...

Today I was thinking about this "brick" of a pain I have sitting in my chest and the "freedom".  There is a reason that yogi say that freedom requires discipline.  I am a free being, but I am not.   My children are free beings, but they are not...  We are all free spiritually, yet our bodies are governed by society and the law.  If we would truly be free in both the body and the spirit we would be together right now. 

I hope my kids remember the advice I have given them over and over: "learn from every experience and enjoy your life to the best of your ability".  Because that's all the kids can really do.  They have no control over any situation they encounter, they have no power, as their "best interest" is always someone else's opinion of their best interest.  Not many people are able to put their biases aside and hear the voices of the children.  I hope I have said it enough for my kids to know and remember that I love them greatly.

To feel free as adults we have to acquire a certain discipline of the mind.  It's not so much about being free to do as you please, it's about training your mind to feel free no matter where you are, developing an intimate connection with the higher power you believe in and dissolving yourself in the strength and love of that power. 

We all want to be loved.  That is the number one feeling people look for.  Our kids seek our love and attention.  We seek the love and attention of our parents.  We look for husbands, wives, partners...people to spend our lives with, friendships, companionship and of course ... most of us look for the approval and love of God.

Biological connections cannot be cut.  When children and parents are not together those connections are like the tuned strings of pain, magnified by the distance of suffering and cruelty of the oppressing "saviors" in charge.  But we all heard: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  So stronger we all hope to come out on the other side of this journey, because what is life - if not a journey...?

I get to train myself to be free, while my children get to experience the reality discipline of the world - coldhearted cruelty. 

The Country in which the child can be taken without conviction of a crime is no longer a free country.  If we let this continue and do not fight for our freedoms - we soon won't have any freedoms.  

Stand up for Parental Rights.  Promote Innocent Tears Act.  Promote DFPS Reform and let's put "FAMILY FIRST" back into the Department of Family and Protective Services.

Innocent Tears Act

  PROPOSED BI LL TO BE ENTITLED INNOCENT TEARS ACT By Marina Burroughs INTRODUCTION The proposed Bill is in relation to the procedures for taking possession of a child by the Department of Family and Protective Services and is dedicated to my child, K. B. who fell a victim of the flawed system and has suffered the hardest heartbreak of her life and a life-long trauma at such a young age. No child should be a victim of the system that was put in place to protect the children. Parents are not criminals and deserve to be treated as such - the most important people in the child’s life.  Not many parents truly neglect and abuse their children, those that do end up having serious criminal charges.  No child and no parent should have to go through unwarranted separation unless there is serious sufficient physical evidence to suggest that the child is being neglected and/or abused. Hearsay allegations and simply stating “it’s in the best interest of the child” must not be suffici...

Bill of Rights Optional

In my dealings with DFPS I appear to have no rights.  Not only I have no right to life, liberty, fare prosecution, Grand Jury, being secure in my person, house, property or effects, but I don't even have the right to be silent! Don't even mention second amendment because you will never get your child back! There is nothing voluntary about the relationship where oppressors take your child, take all your freedoms and fight with unlimited funds at their disposal to not give your freedoms and your child back.  So through these dealing with DFPS I cannot help but to question: Is the Bill of Rights optional?  Is it sort of like an old Diploma that you hang on the wall in the office with the degree that is not even relevant to your actual position so we can show off to the whole world: "Look, We the people have the Bill of Rights!"  ....that we can choose to follow or not to follow... I guess that is also a part of the freedoms we have.  What good are those rights if w...

The Flow

Like with everything else in life there are different perspectives out there about going with the flow.  On one hand if you go with the flow you are going through your life with the least resistance, spending the least amount of energy and having the least amount of stress so it seems; on the other hand some say if you go with the flow you will end up at the bottom of the hill often in the big pile of sludge.  Going with the flow can be considered a sign of trust in higher power or a sign of giving up, weakness and laziness.  Just like everything else in life every situation requires unique evaluation.  If all individuals are unique than all the situations involving all the different unique individuals require unique solutions .  If I'm going with the flow and all of a sudden there is a bunch of trash flowing around me - it's probably time to get out of the stream.  What we do forget that there isn't just one flow and one spring, one river and one current o...
