FREEDOM
After about two months of soul searching, I am finally able to revise this essay on “Freedom” (the revision follows at the end):
Free will is an illusion: I think I am making a choice, but I have actually little choice, since what I do is minimally under conscious control. When I am reminded that life is a dream full of magical content, it is easier for me to cope. However, sometimes I feel like rebelling: to take off, “hang loose” and socialize as much as possible by going to the local coffee shops.
Sometimes I think “Freedom” is nonexistent in my life, especially when I am plagued by the misery I portrayed in “Enthusiasm” in my website,
www.davidhakim.com. My main desire is having a day where I feel good with no pressure or the pain of being tired or sleepy and feel that I can accomplish the necessities and some of the routines so I can lead a fruitful life. Negative entities attempt to create chaos in my life, especially when I have difficulty remembering where I have placed items, and I have to remind myself to spiritually cleanse as contained in my link, “Action.”However, several weeks ago I had one of the most profound healings of my life administered by Daniel Reiher: His Theta Healing:
This is THE most effective work I have EVER seen in my 32
years as a Spiritual Leader...
David, we are ready to make the most of your life force and life
time.
Let me remind you that Theta Healing is a series of Powerful
clearings of WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM BEING YOUR TRUE SELF...
what you planned before you came here.
Are tired of being "stopped" by the unseen, but felt forces in
your shadow- unconscious self?
Do you Believe Spirit can heal and Manifest?
Have you tried everything?
Please look again to Matt: 18:18 to 18:20
The process of Theta Healing with muscle testing is to identify
the EXACT things that are missing in your mindstream, that could
remind you of the Truth of your BEing... plus some added science
from the study of E.E.G.s.

My usual feeling about living is that everything about me seems to be timeless, in the sense that I am not terribly shaken by what happens, even though the same things seem to happen over and over again (much like in the movie, The Groundhog Day, with life appearing to be happening repeatedly day after day). However, learning experiences crop up now and then, such as learning not to run over a dog’s leash with a snow blower (The long leash was attached to the rear railing of our porch. It was so long that before I could release the auger it wrapped around it and I had to take the snow blower to the shop for a minor repair.)
I am grateful for many things in my life: My health, abundance, love of self and others, and ability to write. As much as possible I desire my prayer of healing for everyone, including myself, to be effective and the love of God to permeate my life more completely.
My main desire is to be of service: To contribute to making life easier for Judy, who is still working full time, and to somehow contribute to the universe at large. I desire my philanthropy to be purposeful and effective.
How I am affected by life in general is somewhat described in the following from Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Marie T. Russell is the founder of Inner Self Magazine (founded 1985) and the producer and host of a weekly South Florida radio broadcast, Inner Power, from 1992-1995. Her articles focus on transformation and reconnecting with our own inner source of joy and creativity. Her website, http://www.innerself.ca/Reflections/stage.htm, states the following:
We tend to take life seriously… all the problems, challenges, crises… all of these seem to be like life and death situations, and in some cases they are. Yet as Shakespeare told us years ago, all the world is a stage, and we are all players or actors upon this earth.
I agree with Shakespeare that we are all acting in a huge play, yet this play has no script. It is strictly an improvisation. We make up the lines as we go. We also can make up our character as we go. Some days we play the villain, others the lover. Some days we play a character consumed by anger and fear, other days we are kind and considerate. Some days we play the stressed out family member, other days the casual relaxed neighbor.
Perhaps if we saw our daily actions and interactions as simply participating in improv theater, we might become less mired in actions, reactions, habits and attitudes. After all, in improvisational theater, while there is a main theme to the play (as there is in the play called "Life on Earth"), all actors are free to make up their role as they go along. Each response from another actor can send the whole play careening in a new direction, with all the other actors making up their responses as they go along....
In ending, despite all the negative comments stated above, I believe I shall always be in the grace of God. Although my freedom is limited, I still feel able to accomplish and be a participating member of society, especially since I am learning day by day how to focus on the “Law of Abundance” and “Gratitude.”

The key to revising my essay is the following from spirit: That freedom appears to be in direct proportion to the attainment of spirituality, that I must forego myself and my attempted eloquence and get down to the nitty gritty.
Freedom to me means that if I positively live every moment, that if I am passionately and lovingly doing the work of spirit, I am free!
This came gradually by fully embracing the following, which are represented in two pictures in my home:
“For he shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11,” which means to me that before coming upon planet earth, I chose my life plan. Since I recognize myself as the principal architect of my life, I can truthfully say that
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24.”
