This is as it should be, provided that one's wishes, choices, thoughts and desires are free from selfishness and are dedicated to the good of the whole. This is, as yet, very seldom so. The life of Christ Himself. He, for the first time, presented the idea of the sacrifice of the unit, consciously and deliberately offered for the service of the whole. There had been other World Saviors, but the issues involved had not so clearly been expressed, because the mind of man had not been ready to grasp the implications.
Service is the keynote of liberation.
Christ was the ideal Server. The signing of the Magna Charta. Here the idea of liberation from authority was presented with the emphasis upon the personal liberty and rights of the individual. The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, determining national policy. The Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms, bringing the whole question into the international field, and guaranteeing to men and women everywhere in the world liberty and freedom to develop the divine reality within themselves.
