When the Covid-19 ‘Pandemic’ first emerged in Canada, only a small number of people recognized it as a tool of control and enslavement by the ruling class. However, as a result of our government’s unprecedented heavy-handedness, obvious hypocrisy and lack of legal, medical, or moral justification for the ensuing mandates and restrictions, we now have a growing population in Canada awakening to the unwarranted assault on our individual freedoms.
This has manifested into a great number of initiatives and actions in support of freedom by brave individuals and groups across the country. The website freedomrising.info hosts a directory of well over 200 active Canadian freedom groups and influencers, and this likely represents only a small portion of the efforts being made from coast to coast to stand up for our freedom and hold the government accountable.
And yet, the government continues to be able to ignore the demands for respect, for dignity, and for freedom, and appears to be planning to increase mandates and restrictions again in the fall. On the rare occasion they do refer to this movement, those in power still feel secure to characterize it as a fringe minority. This is partly because, as numerous as our voices have become, we are not yet all speaking with one voice. We are not yet united.
The Truckers’ Freedom Convoy
The Truckers’ Freedom Convoy gave us the best glimpse at what unity actually looks and feels like. It is not just a collective agreement around what is right; more fundamentally, it is an experience of the shared feeling of love, care and respect that human beings have for one another. And those who were in Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy got that magical feeling everywhere they turned.
One of many stories that embodied this feeling of unity involved a cook from Quebec, who had stocked his truck up with breakfast supplies and drove to Ottawa with a mission to feed breakfast to all the truckers for free. He began his work in front of Parliament Hill early in the morning and saw that many others had brought food for the truckers as well. It was not long before the truckers had all been fed, and so he began giving food away to passers-by, so festive and generous was the mood.
Soon, someone insisted on giving a donation out of gratitude, and put some money into a cup on his table. The cup filled up quickly, and the cook used it to replenish his food supplies once he ran out. This continued throughout the day, and eventually there was still plenty of food, plenty of money, but no more hungry passers-by. That’s when the cook recruited a few people to bring food to the homeless in the city wherever they could find them.
This story illustrates the unity we are all seeking: it is a heart-centered connection between human beings, as well as respect for each other’s uniqueness. What people experienced in Ottawa is that the people can—in fact we need to—create this unity ourselves. We don’t need any ‘authority’ to do it for us. And that is why the Freedom Convoy was so threatening to the ruling class. Because if we realize that we can do this ourselves, then the ruling class is no longer needed.
The government used many tried and true tactics to shut down this seminal effort, including violence, ridicule, and deception. They labeled brave individuals like organizers Tamara Lich and Pat King as ‘leaders of the occupation’ and tried to convince us that these ‘leaders’ were responsible for crimes by putting them in jail. This is right out of their social engineering playbook, to make us feel shame by association and forget that the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy was a triumph of the human spirit over tyranny and oppression.
The greatness of the Trucker’s Freedom Convoy was not inspired by any ‘leader’ but rather by the authenticity of the courage and sacrifice of many truckers simply trying to live and work in freedom. It motivated many people in Canada to come together, onto frigid bridges to wave on the convoy as it passed through, and into Ottawa and other locations, to be part of a genuine experience of comm-unity.
Many Still Look to Leaders
The version of ‘unity’ brought forward by the ruling class is always based on control and fear, like a dog corralling sheep. This has maintained some form of ‘order’ in society over the centuries, but it has always come at the expense of personal freedom. For humans to be united on the basis of freedom, each individual needs to know at a deep level that they are inherently sovereign. The challenge is that many in the Freedom Movement have not yet had this deep realization, and as a result, they are still waiting for ‘freedom leaders’ to unite us.
This is exactly what the ruling class wants. They don’t mind that new political parties are formed, because political parties will naturally support the current top-down power structure, no matter how much the candidates are running on a ‘freedom’ platform. I don’t doubt that some of the political freedom candidates are sincere in wanting to bring more freedom to Canadians. But one has to wonder if, even in the unlikely case that such a politician gets into power, whether they will be able to unite us. The very fact that they have not all been able to unite into one party under the fundamental principle of freedom gives a telling clue.
Yes, one can argue that political systems do bring people together, but the people only end up united around one polarity or another, usually based on a subset of their core values and the appeal of the leader. When people identify with and unite under one polarity (i.e. ‘liberal’), it ultimately activates more unity around the other polarity (‘conservative’), resulting in division and ideological conflict that will keep going on until the end of time. All issues in society are perceived through this dialectical prism, and so reconciliation is impossible. Since people always have the other side to blame, they are never encouraged to look at themselves and take some responsibility for the problems of society. The individual is thus constantly disempowered. The fact that we can choose one polarity or the other provides the illusion of free choice. But this system doesn’t make us free, it keeps us trapped and dependent.
Creating a free society which respects the innate sovereignty and uniqueness of each individual is ultimately not a political matter. It is a spiritual one. Our broader mission as ‘freedom fighters’ is not any particular act of defiance; It is the promotion of a shift in consciousness within each individual. We will never get there by putting a different leader or a different political party in power; we will only get there if we find the courage to begin to walk away from this obsolete top-down power structure entirely.
Leaders in the Freedom Movement are becoming keenly aware that it is getting more difficult to simply command followers to purposeful commitment and action in the name of freedom. Those leaders who continue to seek personal power in a top-down hierarchy will be frustrated by the diminishing returns for all their efforts. They may, in fact, blame their followers for laziness. But all this is the universe’s way of showing them that when something is not working, a person must first look inside themselves and make an important shift in their perception. If leaders are to be effective in helping to achieve freedom in this country going forward, it will be by modeling the openness and humility of a higher consciousness. The following affirmation elaborates on this.
Leaders Unity Affirmation
Brothers and sisters, we are all leaders. We share a love and a thirst for freedom. Freedom not only for ourselves, but also freedom for our families. Freedom for our communities. Freedom for our countries. Freedom for our world. We seek to free the human collective.
In this quest we are unified in purpose. Our goal is to help unify the world. By unifying our countries. By unifying our communities. By unifying our families. But first, by unifying ourselves.
When you look within yourself, do you see unity of mind, body and spirit? If unity within yourself is lacking, how can you hope to unify others? But be gentle with yourself in this self-examination. Nobody is perfect. If you were perfect, you wouldn’t be here, working this out.
Is there unity in your thoughts, words and actions? The greater the integrity of your thoughts, words and actions, the more powerful will be the manifestation of your desire. That is simply a natural law.
We are in a time where we feel a need to act in the world. But those actions need to be informed by our reflections. Action and reflection is the rhythm of life. It is the flow of our universe.
We need to keep one foot in the material world and one foot in the spiritual world. Otherwise, we will experience too much negativity on the one hand, or fall into apathy about what is happening on the other hand.
Negative emotions have their place. They get us to stand up. They get us to commit to action. Use them for that purpose. But don’t be overcome by them; Don’t be ruled by them. For then your actions will only create more division, and less unity within the world, within your groups, and within yourself.
We do not seek to wage war, but neither do we seek to hide from conflict. We seek to stand firm and honor what we value as individuals and as a collective. Standing firm with Integrity is not waging war. It is bringing two sides together. It is promoting unity. It is what humanity is finally ready for.
We are all leaders. A leader is for something, not against something. A leader works through love, not through fear. That is where the power is.
It’s not about you or what you are doing. It’s about how you allow Spirit to move through you. That is how you in-spire others. When you allow Spirit to move through you, others will begin to feel the spirit of unity.
Just remember that everyone has their own path. Nobody can know the path of another. Leaders need to respect other leaders. Groups need to respect other groups. Each one of us is searching for our mission, for what resonates most with our desire.
In your search you might leave one group and join another. You might stop leading one group to follow another. You might stop following one group to lead another. Ultimately leaders must be willing to follow. Followers must be willing to lead. That is how we will achieve unity.
We are facing an uphill battle here, but that is what makes it all worth it. I’d like to end with a poem I wrote many years ago called Brave Climber:
Brave climber, fret not
When the slope is steep and,
Anxious to ascend,
You reach up for that helping hand
And find none.
For this moment too is precious.
It invites you not
To reach up but down,
To another who may be searching
For your helping hand.
For we chase the heights together,
Tethered by purpose,
And moderated by a rhythm
That delivers the most and least likely among us
As one to the view from on high.
Sisters and brothers, if we stay together, we will get there. Nasmaste.
The People’s Union
I created the People’s Union of Canada as an umbrella group that, rather than endorsing any particular strategy or action, offers local support to each group and each individual who are standing up for freedom, through support teams within each electoral district across Canada. Our mission is ‘to unify the freedom movement in Canada and build the decentralized human network that will support it.’
The union is rooted in a freedom declaration so simple, so fundamental that everyone can agree on it: “I am free.”
We don’t declare “I wish to be free,” “I ask to be free” or even “I demand to be free.” I am free. This declaration has profound consequences, as it causes each individual to deepen the embodiment of their own sovereignty. ‘I am’ statements have the power to manifest reality. And once a collective of sovereign individuals comes into alignment under this principle, they will have the power to simply walk away from the old system, and build a society that values freedom, self-responsibility and mutual respect.
We invite you to add your voice and sign the declaration at peoplesunionofcanada.ca.
