As we come into this world, from the time of our infancy we are taught to conform to beliefs and principles from numerous sources which have originated outside of our own minds for our own wellbeing. However, we are rarely if ever taught to have a truly independent mind which is capable of contemplating and creating its own beliefs, principles and values in accordance with our own will.
Those who are independent in mind and sovereign in spirit are unlikely to conform to the desires and expectations of others that fall outside of their own personal values and will. As they have stepped into their inner power and honour their own inner voice, they lead and guide themselves throughout the journey of life with a discerning mind rather than follow another unquestionably.
The individual with a mind of their own is therefore in a position of power, as they are unwilling to beckon to the desires of the collective and unfamiliar ideologies without first questioning their motives diligently. It is essential to be astute and perceptive in this digital era of information overload, where deception and trickery appear in many different forms, ready to ensnare the desperate and gullible.
Always read between the lines and question the underlying motives of everything you encounter. As an inquisitive mind is a sensible and wise one. Do not give your authority and power away by submitting to the will of another person or group without first questioning their true intentions and peering behind the veil of alluring appearances to unmask their true character.
As unquestioning conformity and obedience for the sake of pleasing everyone, regardless if this contravenes your own integrity and morality, will be a detriment to your wellbeing as this contradicts your conscience and is a dangerous method to live by.
Because compliance and silence on a collective scale are the ideal components for tyranny to flourish and reign supreme and unchallenged, to commit many atrocities and great evils that are a threat to the wellbeing of humanity.
As this world is rife with collective conformity and submission, it does not have the well-being of the sovereign individual at heart, which is an essential quality to have in order to lead a fulfilling life that reaches its full potential.
It is time to take back your power, to stand in your independence and honour your sovereignty. To stand up for yourself and honour the calling of your soul. As you are only here for a short time on this Earth, ensure you are creating and living out your true destiny in accordance with your heart. Which can only be achieved when you take back your sovereignty and live for yourself.
Hi Ali
Another brilliant piece of work. It is so easy to forgot and follow the band wagon. But this is a reminder of true meaning of life . Keep up the good work.
This is a lovely guide to inner freedom Ali. Unhooking ourselves from conformity and needing external validation can only be liberating and positive. Thanks for sharing and well done 🙂
This is very insightful indeed – I’m curious to understand why do you think the world is, ‘rife with collective conformity’? Do you think this is something that is instilled in us from a young age & how do we counteract this and start asking the right questions? 🙂
Another great post Ali! Reminds us of the dangers of social conditioning and organized propaganda!
