Each year we like to discuss the ideas of spirituality as it pertains to our country. We are a nation of laws that govern us to keep us safe. The early founders believed in the idea of natural law and that the spirit of nature could teach us how to live in peace with each other. This was the basis of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
In this discussion, we explore the concept of independence and discover how freedom works. What does it mean to be free, and how do you know if you are experiencing it? Can independence include interdependence? Is the government always right? What’s love got to do with it? We will speak about these ideas and so much more!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
