Sovereignty is a concept fundamental to our freedom. Without individual sovereignty, we are merely slaves. Without true independence, we may only walk someone else’s path.

As humanity continues to wake up to our true nature of being, to our divine relationship with our world and unbroken connection to the Source of life, it is crucial that we truly understand what it is to be a ‘sovereign being’. To begin, let’s look at the definition of the word ‘sovereign’ so we all start on the same page.

The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘sovereign’ as:

Sovereign /ˈsɒvrɪn (adjective):

Acting or done independently and without outside interference.
Possessing supreme or ultimate power.

So in considering our sovereignty, the question really is… Do we truly live “independently and without outside interference”? Do we possess “supreme or ultimate power” over our lives? And if not, who does?

Sovereigns and Subjects

How often do we hear the terms ‘Sovereign Nation’, ‘Sovereign State’, ‘Sovereign Debt’ or ‘The Sovereign Monarch’?

Despite its definition, today, we attribute the value of sovereignty only to institutions; to nations and monarchs. So consider…

If a monarch is sovereign and there is only one monarch, there can be only one sovereign – only one who acts independently and without outside interference. What about the rest of us? Don’t monarchs have subjects? Subject to what, you may wonder? Subject to outside interference, from those possessing supreme or ultimate power?

Let’s examine the word ‘Subject’ for a moment.

Subject /ˈsʌbdʒɛkt (noun):

An individual subjected to the rule by an elite, see feudalism.
Derived from the Latin word ‘subiectus’, meaning “lying beneath”. [source]

When we attribute sovereignty only to institutions, to nations or monarchs, we cannot also consider ourselves sovereign. Instead we are merely subjects.

When we consider ourselves as subjects, we assume the role of slaves, “lying beneath” others, unable to act independently and free of outside interference.

Is this really how we are willing to live?

If natural forces created life and humanity, and humanity created institutions, should institutions such as government not remain the instrument of humanity, and not the other way around?

We humans, like all living beings, are living breathing creations of Spirit or God force – whomever or whatever that force is. We are a part of the divine creation of life. Interconnected and multidimensional, we are an expression of life itself. And we were born to this abundant and fertile planet, and indeed born to this fascinating universe, simply to live – to enjoy it, feed from it, share in its abundance, and live as a conscious part of its wondrous mechanics.

So if a government institution assumes the authority to prescribe our rights, and to limit the manner in which we may enjoy and live and share and feed, does government not infringe on our birth right – our relationship with our natural world? Does it not assume authorship of nature’s creation?
