Freedom has always been, and today more than ever, the root of all
challenges and fights in this prison-Matrix with invisible yet pervasive
bars. The thing is too few people understand that freedom starts in your
head. When you create your own prison with your own thoughts, beliefs,
expectations, fears... How others perceive us is a prison. The lack of love
for self is a prison. Sorry if it sounds like a motto I'm bringing in at
every corner, but it always comes down to the simple equation of love vs.
fear. Yes, life is that simple. Our conditioning and false beliefs are
actually what makes it complicated. A good way to keep us away as far as
possible from that simple truth. Fear locks us in, creating a sense of
insecurity which leads us to give up our freedoms in the physical world.
Fear isolates people in sealed boxes of pro-this/anti-that.
Ironically,
fear makes us put more trust in others than in ourselves. Cognitive
dissonance. Love (not the love that owns and binds by contract) frees us.
Love yourself and you'll free yourself from the perception of others and
from the need to conform. Love yourself and you won't let yourself be
dictated the limits of possible or not possible as love will connect you to
the infinite universal wisdom which is unlimited.
A huge
thank-you goes to Trevor for allowing me to repost this snippet from a song
he's currently working on with his bandmates from a distance (due to
lockdown) and for sending me the complete lyrics and also assisting with the
translation of an idiomatic phrase for my French speaking readers. So
pleased to hear he hasn't lost his gift for crafting catchy tunes and that
this great voice of his still does it. This song is pure joy. It's like a
ray of sunshine despite the grim world it portrays. Don't know about you,
but I can't wait to hear this full track completed even though, to me, this
acoustic version does feel complete in its own right. Good vibes yeah, yeah,
yo!
Billy starts another day
Signs in for another day
The morning is
hot
But the sun it don’t shine
He’s saving for a
piece of real estate
Don’t mind him working late
He might
just make the price
With overtime
And he sang
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
He doesn’t feel safe on the subway
He doesn’t feel safe on the highway
His wife can’t
sleep at night
So he buys a gun
And Billy shoots in a straight line
In a land of sunshine
Bread and cars and T.V. for everyone
And he sang
Freedom,
yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Be a millionaire
it’s easy
Like the people on the T.V.
Billy thinks of high
school
Where he learned to play cool
Where he learned to be told
And fly the flag
There’s a hole in the sky but Billy
don’t care
Fear and famine everywhere
For a regular guy, aint life a drag
