Abstract

Freedom, which is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants, is the substance of existence and existence is freedom! To exist is to be free and to be free is to exist! Freedom is a person; an evidence that you are a human being! If man’s freedom is endangered by anything, he turns be a beast of burden! Are you not aware that freedom is what gives man his headship position in the animal kingdom? This headship position made the creator of the universe after creating man to say: “Be free and dominate.” The creator is aware that anytime He tampers with human freedom, man ceases to be man but a beast of burden. If the creator of the universe cannot tamper with man’s freedom, who else will be allowed to infringed on it. Nothing has any authority to come near to man’s freedom! Taking the concept of freedom to another level, it means success. Man is said to be successful only when he can look at himself and said “I am free!” Many things are really fighting against man’s freedom such as: his limited beliefs about himself, his past, other people’s judgements about him, money, relationship, power consciousness etc. Man, these are things you are meant to rule over, never allow them to rule over you! Take charge, be in control and emerge as a star! This work is a masterpiece that tries to let man know that the creator made him to be whole (to be free). Though man may have been broken by his past limited beliefs, people’s judgements about him, his past, his relationships, money, and power consciousness but after going through this work the reader will definitely be made whole again to manifest and rule his world. Hence, in freedom are wealth, health, dignity, peace, creativity and innovation.
