Science of Mind: “Freedom of will means the ability to do, say and think as one wishes; to express life as one personally desires...” Science of Mind textbook Page 108.3

The Science of Mind Textbook:

Chapter 1 pages 31-32.2

Chapter 6 pages 106-111.3

This month, we are giving (or deepening), our awareness and appreciation for freedom. Freedom to choose our thoughts is the greatest freedom of all. No one else can think your thoughts for you. Therefore No One else has dominion over your experience. If we are not consciously choosing our thoughts (and no one does 100% of the time) then we are in default, auto response, we are at the effect of our conditions or circumstances subject to race consciousness and the people we are listening to. According to Stephen Covey “Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.”

Just because we are the thinker of our thought and we are inner-dependent does not give us the right to disrespect another person, idea or activity. Freedom is our birthright and it comes with a responsibility to use It for good.

Activities like the Freedom Dance, Team Building Games, Marshmallow River and more make these lessons unforgettable fun!
