As Nelson Mandela languished in prison, did he ponder the remaining vestige of freedom in his possession? His thoughts, ironically that which landed him in prison, those very thoughts were the only thing the “man” could not take.
Political prisoners, or not, the one abundance in jail is time. Time for thought. A sharp man sharpens his thoughts.
We share our thoughts freely in the western world, and sometimes we lose friends or jobs for what we’ve said. There are lands where freedom or even life is confiscated in order to control thought.
God created thought Free, and man tries to shackle it.
This is why the Truth makes one free, because the mind is unshackled from illusion.
Nelson Mandela found his mind was free, no matter what imprisoned his body. Likewise, many deep thinkers have come to this realization, from biblical times through the present, and emerged from their prisons ready to revolutionize the world of thought.
Are your thoughts free? What prison of thought, system of presumed ideas, has you chained to an illusion? You may not like a new idea, but it could be the key to your cage.
