FREEDOM
For the sake of the rest of us, the great heroes of our history are called upon to enter into the presence of death - of genuine mortal suffering - with open eyes & flowering courage. The fear is real. They accept that by welcoming death through personal sacrifice all will change. Adam, Osiris, Woden, Jesus died on the tree they were bound to. Francis of Assisi , Thomas More, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, JFK, RFK, MLK, JL (the list of the luminous goes on) all accepted the necessity of suffering followed by certain death to open our eyes to the freedom of the true Kingdom that lies just below the surface.
