Mission Statement - Freyah Martell
"Dream without fear, live without limits."
In our day and age, the world and each person individually face serious challenges, from economic precariousness to the ever-looming specter of the climate crisis and geopolitical instability. The relentless pace of our technological advancement has reached such a crescendo that predicting the state of affairs merely a year hence seems an insurmountable task, even for the greatest experts. In this zeitgeist, it is understandable that many people simply can't catch up anymore with life itself; they have lost the rhythm of their own existence. Many can't find meaning anymore. Superficiality has become prominent in many areas of life, engendering a regrettable rise in mediocrity. Surface-level ways of thinking and doing are not favorable to excellence and don't encourage the exploration of ourselves, which is crucial for those who want to build extraordinary lives and successfully achieve astonishing projects.
To Explore Unconventional Questions and Discover Unexplored Dimensions
In accepting the political and cultural premises and the general status quo of the societies we're living in, we enjoy a variety of material benefits, but at the same time, we enormously reduce the creative forces of our minds, our capacity for a genuine spiritual life, in its myriad expressions, and we have considerably undermined the concept of freedom that our western societies are supposed to stand for. Cultures have been and still are created by humans, as well as political currents and socio-economic frameworks. By entering the 21st-century schemes without questioning them, and avoiding asking ourselves what our deepest values are, we actually forgot what freedom means individually and within our communities.
Today I commit to dare to explore those questions, especially at an individual level. I'm less interested in statistics than in what this really means... for you. Let's restore our sense of individual agency, so we can harness it to elevate ourselves, build incredible things within our lives, and have a positive impact around us.
To Recapture Our Inner Powers
It has been scientifically shown that a single individual acting outside the norm can have an unbelievable influence, because ideas and behaviors are transmissible. This concept is called social contagion. A phenomenon studied for millennia, In the œsoteric tradition, it is a process called: thought induction. In the world we‘re living in, one might be tempted to think that one’s ideas and actions can’t make any difference. This is wrong. I offer to recapture this formidable power that sleeps within us to improve our minds and influence our environment in a constructive way, extending from our immediate circle to the wider world. I believe there are no limits to what one can accomplish, as well as what we can accomplish together. The only ceiling to our achievements is the one we artificially impose upon ourselves. I propose to seize this occasion to scatter those boundaries altogether and nurture our uniqueness and authenticity, to reach a new class of strength and awareness.
To Set our Sights Higher and Redefine the Horizons of Greatness
For too long, malevolent individuals have exploited human suffering and uncertainty, accruing staggering fortunes through false promises, making people believe that everything can be effortlessly achieved for those who acquire the right mindset and realignment of energies. Those deceptive practices have had disastrous consequences for many, accentuating their sense of failure and helplessness when they don't succeed in attracting the life they are pursuing. In reality, everything is indeed possible, but it requires work, effort, trials, errors, and reinforcement of the mind; it requires time and patience, and a certain type of faith, in oneself and others. It demands the unwavering resolve to acquire wisdom and develop skills. I am not saying that mindset and energies are not important, I am saying that it is only a piece of a complex puzzle. What we want to build will not appear out of thin air; we will have to build it.
I propose to dramatically raise the level of our progress and improvement processes, restore accuracy and integrity regarding the content that is shared and the commitments we undertake, in using all the tools at our disposal, from ancient tools like timeless philosophical wisdom and practices to new assets such as neurosciences and behavioral sciences. Let's not lose more time on the futile exercise of willing things into existence, but let's seize and honor each day, holding ourselves accountable for shaping truly remarkable lives.
We Will Walk Together
This is the register to which I invite you. It might be hard and take time, but I am confident that the elevation of our lives will be phenomenal. We will go beyond what is imaginable. Throughout history, all the greatest achievements were initially deemed unattainable; therefore, I believe we can amplify ourselves to a stronger extent than previously thought possible.
As Socrates elegantly said: "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing."
I have seen too many people pretending to have all the answers, which is ridiculous, but it works. And why is it appealing? Because those kinds of discourses provide us with a semblance of security in the face of the dreadful vastness of the unknown, and as humans, we crave security. That's how many people are continually abused. This is why I frequently employ the inclusive term 'we.' I will never pretend to have all the answers, because it would be a confession of weakness and idiocy, while true strength lies in the unceasing journey of learning. And we will learn and evolve together.
I pledge to walk on this path alongside you; let's create, let's foster seeds of hope, and nurture courage. Let's fine-tune our ability to adapt to the inevitable winds of change and envision a new version of the future, with amplified freedom and agency for ourselves and those who believe that it is possible. Let's expel fear from our dreams and seize the instruments that will help us design limitless lives.
