A Five-Step Journey Toward Spiritual Liberation "Love points the way and law makes the way possible."— Ernest Holmes "The end is reconciliation; the end is redemption; the end is the creation of the Beloved Community."— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom is more than the breaking of personal chains. It is the awakening of a consciousness that makes reconciliation possible and transforms a collection of individuals into a Beloved Community. Ernest Holmes reminds us that Love i

Not every chain is made of iron. Some chains are invisible. They are forged from fear, old beliefs, painful memories, limiting stories, inherited assumptions, and unconscious habits of thought.
