What is spiritual slavery and how does it hold us back from our sovereignty?
Apr 13, 2023Considered 1 of the 6 kinds of enslavement, spiritual slavery can be a difficult piece to be aware of for many. It can be easier to be self aware of the other 4 kinds such as financial, emotional, mental, physical and sexual enslavement. Since spiritual slavery is so embedded in our baseline, it can be misconstrued as being freeing when in fact, it can be a chain. This is apparent in religion for example where devotion to a certain rule triumphs personal values. It is also apparent in beliefs such as 'If I serve, I will be blessed.' Watch the video above to learn more about the idea of spiritual slavery and how it looks like.
To learn about the other pieces of enslavement, watch the full replay below. As we expand our awareness to how we may be enslaved, we can eventually bring sovereignty to each kind. Just the process of being a space holder for this can significantly impact our community. We help plant seeds of sovereignty to everyone around us without us even knowing!
