When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one person to
dissolve the bands and bonds of struggle, strife, lack, and
faithlessness, which has connected them with a life that does not
serve their greatest good, and to assume among the Power of the
Universe, the separate station of Prosperity to which the Laws of
Nature entitle them, a decent respect to the opinion of one who
speaks in Truth requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
I
hold this Truth to be self-evident, that I am created equal, that I
am endowed by my Creator, that which is within me, with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and Happiness.
That to secure these rights in my life, beliefs are instituted by me,
deriving their just powers from the consent of my Mind and the Law of
Cause and Effect. That whenever any Form of My Beliefs become
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of Me to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new thoughts, new feelings, new
perspectives, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing
Its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
my Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Beliefs long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all
experience has shown, that many times I am more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right myself by abolishing the
beliefs to which I am accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
reduce Me under absolute or partial lack, it is my right, it is my
duty, to throw off such Beliefs, and to provide new thoughts and
feelings, new perspectives and beliefs, for my future security and
happiness. Such
has been my patient sufferance; and such is now the necessity which
constrains me to alter my thinking and my Beliefs. Part
of the history of my present beliefs is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute Tyranny over my happiness.
And
so I now declare, with full knowledge and embodying of the One Power
within, that One indestructible, absolute and self-existent Cause.
With that Spirit expressing through me, which is the Unity of all
life, I claim and swear to use my creative thoughts to think from
that eternal goodness, that eternal loving kindness, and that eternal
givingness of Divine Intelligence. To act, be, and surround myself
with love, abundance, vitality and vibrance. To think, reason, and
live without the bondage of any negativity from my past, without the
consciousness of “no” or the shoulda/woulda/coulda of “not
yet”, without water cooler gossip or the news and opinions of CNN,
MSNBC, FOX NEWS, NPR, or any government or religion that may be
running around in my mind like a rat in a cage, like squirrels in a
whirling dervish, like chattering monkeys – invading my
consciousness.
I,
therefore, do, in the Name, and by Authority of my birthright as an
individualization of the Source and Substance of All, solemnly
publish and declare, That I Am, and of Right ought to be Free and
Independent of destructive thoughts and beliefs; and I Am Absolved
from all Allegiance to negativity, and that all connection between me
and the State of Lack, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
that as a Free and Independent personalization of God, I engage my
full Power to levy Peace, Prosperity, and Love in my life from this
day, forward. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection and Power of the Divine Intelligence
within, I pledge to my Life and sacred Honor.
Join
me by writing your signature in the air, and thus committing to this Declaration of Freedom, for yourself and the betterment of our world. Saying, with me:
I am Free to Be Me!
