Independence is the state-of-mind in which you think you have to do it all yourself. Sovereignty is the state-of-mind and heart that allows for interconnectedness, and free choice. The state of independence is a severe one, the state of sovereignty a full, abundant, joyful one.
Independence
We all crave independence, right? We do not want others to dictate, rule our lives. We need freedom, choice, the right to be who we truly are. And the word that comes to mind is independence.
Independence is not depending on anyone. Not life, not love, not others. It is the cute-little-relationship-enabler, the one that permits for friendship that doesn’t ask for anything, relationships without wants, and after a while, a life without meaning.
Because independence is a myth, a false friend.
Men and women
Men have been connecting for ever. Women did used to connect, too, but somehow over the last decades forgot what the connective tissue of relationships, family, a healthy network is worth, and all about.
We have often heard of the glass ceiling, the one preventing women to reach the top or how deals are made in gentlemen’s clubs where women are not admitted. And this may be true.
It also shows the importance of connections. The merit of having each others backs. And while men maybe meet in clubs, women have always known how to weave a web of support.
IOU and jealousy
The downside of those perturbed networks is the cost: subjection. There’s an ultimate shift in power when networks are understood wrongly.
In men’s circles, it is often understood that you owe me, big time, if I do you a favor. As a consequence, jobs are given to friends instead of the person best qualified. Or liberties with ethics and morale are subjected under the code of ‘brotherhood.’
It has to be seen that a favor is a favor. It has to be rewarded. This is why the rules of community are in place: so no one individual would take advantage of another. But choice is the foundation of any group. It goes hand in hand with the collective welfare.
When women’s circles fail to be healthy, truly feminine, generosity and celebration of each other’s successes are replaced by jealousy, and again, choice goes out the window. In true friendship and support, in a true, healthy community neither debt nor jealousy have a place. Balance is sought in other, more morale ways.
As the freedom of choice goes out the window, networks become entanglements.
Sovereignty
To be sovereign is more than a dream come true, a place in the royal court or any other fairytale fantasy some have in mind. It is the highest form of freedom. It allows for bliss, for attraction, for nobility of the heart and true connections. It offers a choice, without exemption. It offers support, whenever it is called for.
It offers interconnectedness, the form of tribal consciousness that permits the highest form of living for the individual as well as the collective, the group.
We all want to be sovereign: we want to make our own choices and have help. We want to be free but never walk alone. We want to be connected, but not forced.
Sovereignty needs a strong, brave heart, mind and will.
Because sovereignty gives you everything, you are responsible to make heartfelt choices, to have your own needs in mind, your clear vision before you and to have an echo of God’s plan in your soul.
Sovereignty is the highest form of peace and maturity and calls for nobility of heart. You need to know yourself to be able to humbly accept your gifts and serve the world.
