Creating a compelling vision for the sovereign family that emphasizes personal freedom and independence from mainstream systems involves parents activating their authority (their authorship) over their lives and vision.
“The secret to happiness is freedom… And the secret to freedom is courage.”
-Thucydides
The Wisdom Wheel for the Sovereign Family
Here’s a wheel of 12 concepts that can form the backbone of a freedom-oriented lifestyle for your growing family:
- Spiritual Connection: Foster a deep spiritual connection within the family, emphasizing personal growth, connection to Divine Love, and an ever-expanding gratitude for life together. This can involve practices like reflection, prayer, spiritual teachings, and gratitude.
- Self-Sufficiency: Encourage self-sufficiency in daily life, such as growing some of your own food, DIY projects, and learning practical skills that reduce dependence on external systems for basic needs. Enjoy the learning process of connecting with real skills and developing your human potential in very practical ways. Learn to fix stuff around your home!
- Education Freedom: Trust the natural human drive to learn and embrace the unschooling of your child’s mind (and yours!). Prioritize critical thinking, creativity, and holistic, real-life learning as you do life together. Live as though school didn’t exist.
- Natural Health and Wellness: Emphasize holistic health practices at home, and learn about natural remedies, and preventive care rather than relying on mainstream medical systems. Become a healer – take time to learn about the spiritual and practical ways to support your family’s health through a proactive approach to nurturing your life force.
- Community and Support Networks: Build strong community ties with like-minded families who share similar values and goals, providing mutual support and resources. Serve people!
- Media and Technology Sovereignty: Be conscious consumers of media, questioning mainstream narratives, and seeking alternative sources of information that align with critical thinking and truth-seeking. Be very vigilant about technology use within your home – in fact, be radical about this.
- Financial Independence: Aim for financial independence through mindset work in knowing first that it is possible for your family! Invest in your education, seek entrepreneurial growth and out-of-the-box financial strategies, and cultivate the goal of generational wealth.
- Home Atmosphere & Energetics: Curate an environment that is appropriate for living, dynamic, creative human beings. Tend to the atmosphere of your home; understand that it helps set a template for your children’s sense of self and place that is incredibly important in their development.
- Environmental Connection: Stay rooted to the earth, and spend time in the sun and nature daily. Understand that mutual healing (of the earth and our bodies) takes place when we honor our earth home with thanksgiving, and enjoy her gifts with gratitude.
- Creative Expression: Cultivate creativity and artistic expression within the family, encouraging each member to explore their passions and talents freely. Expect to be surprised at the creative and innovate potential waiting to express itself through your spouse and children. Be open to anything and trust each individual’s process!
- Relational Harmony: Practice effective communication, empathy, and conflict resolution skills within your family, promoting harmony and understanding in relationships. Holding the highest view of our family members creates a resonance that helps to spiritually cover them in times that may be challenging.
- Personal Freedom: Upholding individual autonomy and sovereignty over one’s thoughts, beliefs, and actions, fostering a family culture of respect for unique perspectives and personal freedoms. Radical self-responsibility and self-accountability is key… this is the path out of the victim stories that we have been conditioned to adopt… the stories that keep us locked in a perpetual prison of limitation.
Let’s Get Rollin’!
As we grow and expand into these ideals, these concepts form a holistic approach to family sovereignty, and we reclaim our power from external systems and institutions while nurturing a lifestyle that prioritizes authenticity, resilience, and interconnectedness.
This wheel isn’t to suggest that we must all have arrived at some state of ideal perfection already, but suggests a constant commitment to moving forward in our willingness to grow and expand into our greatest potential as the Spirit of love and liberty guide our hearts.
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
– Albert Camus
This Wheel of Wisdom is a vision of what is possible for families who would honour the Divine Spark that abides in humans who dwell together in their own sacred homes.
This vision encourages families to forge their path based on shared vision and dreams, contributing positively to a more conscious and empowered legacy over the long term.
