More From Elbert Hubbard

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.

The history of humanity is the history of human freedom...freedom is not, as engels thought, "the recognition of necessity." freedom is the opposite of necessity. freedom is necessity overcome. progress is, in essence, the progress of human freedom. yes, and after all, life itself is freedom. the evolution of life is the evolution of freedom.

We want freedom. we want freedom from the constraints of the cycles of the sun and the moon. we want freedom from drought and weather, freedom from the movement of game, the growth of plants, freedom from control from mendacious popes and kings, freedom from ideology, freedom from want. this idea of freeing ourselves has become the compass of the human journey.

We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.

Freemasonry must stand upon the rock of truth, religion, political, social, and economic. nothing is so worthy of its care as freedom in all its aspects. "free" is the most vital part of freemasonry. it means freedom of thought and expression, freedom of spiritual and religious ideals, freedom from oppression, freedom from ignorance, superstition, vice and bigotry, freedom to acquire and possess property, to go and come at pleasure, and to rise or fall according to will of ability.

Finally, if you still are growing, you reach the highest archetype, the archetype of the spirit. this is the time when you finally realize what jesus meant when he said, "you are in this world, but you are not of this world." you are not here as a human being having a spiritual experience, but the reverse is true: all of us here are spiritual beings having a human experience.

It is with a rush of home-sickness that the thought of death presents itself.... such sentiment is the eternal stock of all religions, modified indeed by changes of time and place, but indestructible, because its root is so deep in the earth of man's nature. the breath of religious initiators passes over them; a few "rise up with wings as eagles" [isaiah 40:31], but the broad level of religious life is not permanently changed. religious progress, like all purely spiritual progress, is confined to a few.
Death Spiritual Religious
There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope. the hopers would feel slighted if they knew.
