This month, in Mexico, we celebrate an event that occurred over 200 years ago and granted us our identity as a nation: the Independence of Mexico. Beyond historical debates about whether it was a true independence or a strategy to maintain control over territories, what truly matters is that this event provided us with an identity as Mexicans. It allowed us to define ourselves within a territory, under a flag, with a sense of belonging.
Personally, I feel deeply grateful and proud to be Mexican. Unlike many countries—even those considered first-world—Mexico has given me the freedom to be myself, to express myself, and to live happily. Freedom is the most important value we can possess, far beyond wealth, knowledge, or social status. True freedom is the ability to experience life without judgment, without fear, and without limitations. For me, this is the real reason to celebrate during these patriotic days.
When I reflect on what it means to be Mexican, I think of the freedom to enjoy a life where I can be authentic. The shout of "Viva México" resonates not just as a patriotic shout but as an affirmation of the personal freedom we've built and the identity we've forged. Over time, political or social differences may have fragmented the unity among Mexicans, but what unites us is stronger than any division. The freedom to be, to think, and to express ourselves is an invaluable gift for which I will always be grateful.
Consciousness as the Pillar of Reality
In this context of independence and freedom, I also contemplate the concept of consciousness. Everything in this plane has consciousness—from the smallest to the vastest—and all is part of a coherent and unique existence. This idea invites us to go beyond what we consider alive or animated and recognize that every object, every energy, every being is part of a unified whole.
Teachings suggest that consciousness is the axis of reality. What we perceive as our reality is merely a reflection of our internal vibration. Just as Mexico achieved its independence, we too can free ourselves from internal limitations by becoming aware of our power as active creators of our lives.
Love as a Transformative Force
On this journey of growth and expansion, love is a fundamental force. Love is the primordial energy that allows us to transcend fear, judgment, and the limitations we impose on ourselves. Just as Mexicans united to fight for our independence, love unites us as humanity, overcoming the divisions we've created through borders, ideologies, and beliefs.
In this sense, the independence we celebrate goes beyond the political or historical. It is an invitation to free ourselves from judgment and the limitations we impose on ourselves and others. Love is the force that connects and sustains the universe, and by embracing love, we allow ourselves to live fully and be authentic.
Responsibility as the Path to True Freedom
In this context of freedom and independence, personal responsibility is the path to true freedom. Embracing responsibility for our lives means ceasing to seek external culprits and accepting that everything we experience is a reflection of our internal state.
While politics, the economy, or external circumstances may influence us, they do not determine our happiness or personal fulfillment. Wealth—in every aspect—comes from our internal vibration, from how we feel and what we think. If we focus our attention on what's wrong, our reality will mirror that chaos. But if we express gratitude each day, vibrate at a higher frequency, and focus on what's right, we'll attract more reasons to be grateful.
Just as Mexico took responsibility for its destiny by fighting for independence, each of us has the ability to do the same in our lives. True independence begins when we take responsibility for our reality and become the architects of our lives.
Freedom and Unity: WE ARE ONE
Throughout history, divisions among people have led to separation. But when we adopt a higher perspective, we understand that these divisions are illusory. Beyond borders, ideologies, and beliefs, we are part of a unified human family, all connected by the same vital energy.
WE ARE ONE serves as a powerful reminder of this truth. It doesn't matter what country we're from, what religion we practice, or what our lifestyle is; deep down, we share a common origin and destiny. True freedom arises when we embrace this unity, when we stop seeing ourselves as separate and begin recognizing ourselves as parts of an interconnected whole.
Final Reflection on Independence and Consciousness
During this patriotic month, as we celebrate Mexico's independence, it's essential to remember that true freedom doesn't depend on a historical or political event. Freedom lies in our ability to create our own reality, in being responsible for our emotions, thoughts, and actions. I am grateful to live in a country where such freedom is possible—where I can be myself, express myself freely, and live with gratitude.
Freedom, consciousness, and responsibility go hand in hand. In a world that often seems chaotic, remembering our connection as human beings and our ability to create our reality from a place of consciousness is key to living in love, peace, and abundance.
I celebrate with you—not just as a Mexican but as a human being—acknowledging our unity and the responsibility we share to live from love and consciousness. WE ARE ONE, and together, we can build a reality that is freer, fuller, and more authentic.
