FREEDOM is my middle name. But it means so much more than just those seven letters.

FREEDOM to BE what you want to be,
FREEDOM to DO what you want to do,
FREEDOM to HAVE what you want to have

and that involves having the resources to have the

FREEDOM to BE WITH who ever you want to be with,
FREEDOM to GO where you want to go, and
FREEDOM to BUY what you want to buy.

And most importantly, WHEN …. all those things WHEN you want them.

mmm…. now there’s the real clincher!  That is, in essence, the “possibility” available to all of us when we learn HOW the universe works – the rules of life, if you like – and that’s what I intend sharing with you.

Ultimately, however, it is my belief that we are all FREE, no matter what our external circumstances allow or don’t allow us to do.

I’m not sure when that “realisation” occurred specifically, but there have been many, what I call, “defining moments” that have contributed along the way.  I learned a very valuable lesson in 1984 in the same month I was suspected of having a brain tumour. When those sort of things happen in your life, whether they eventuate or not, you do a lot of soul searching while you’re waiting for the test results, let me tell ya!

At the same time, I was attending university in the US, taking a class called Life Strategies and Decision Making … something like that. I was studying to be a Family Lawyer, getting a Bachelors Degree in Family Science. For that class, we were required to read “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl.

Victor was a Jewish psychologist in the German concentration camps. His book first describes the conditions (his observations as objectively as he could be – which is actually impossible, but we won’t go there right now) and then the lessons he learned from the experience (the meaning he attached to his experience).

There were two quotes from that book that, to this day, I refer to and live by on a day-to-day basis.

This post is a work in progress …. one step at a time … watch this space for the conclusion!
