I agree with everything but the last sentence, Chuck. You have probably seen me dispute it many times. In my experience, it takes very much more than that, at least for some of us. I even think it's one of the most harmful sentences of New-Age thinking since it usually does not take into account that the road leading up to real freedom of decision or choice can be a long and arduous one. It's an unnecessary put-down to people who find themselves unable to exercise that freedom. If it were so simple, how could there be problems in the world? If it were so simple, why would pain and anguish have to go to such extremes as they have over the last one hundred years?

Of course we are free! But we have denied ourselves that freedom and winning it back is a real challenge, not just for the collective but for the individual as well, at least for some individuals.
