The Last Human Freedom and the Choice Before Us
I was reading a post about Viktor Frankl the other day, and one line caught me. Not because it was new, but because it landed exactly where we are right now.
“You can take everything from a human being. Their wealth. Their health. Their family. Their freedom. But there is one thing, the last of the human freedoms, that no guard, no government, and no tragedy can ever take away. The freedom to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. The freedom to choose your own way.”
Frankl lived this truth inside a Nazi concentration camp.
The Nazis tried to strip him of his humanity. They reduced people to numbers. They tried to make him a victim of history, a body to be controlled, erased, and forgotten. Instead, Viktor Frankl took unimaginable suffering and turned it into a lens that helped millions of people remember who they are.
He showed us something essential. We are not defined by what the world does to us. We are defined by what we do with what is left.
That lesson feels painfully relevant right now.
There is a lot happening in the United States that echoes the conditions that led to World War II. Power consolidation. Fear as a tool. Dehumanization disguised as policy. The idea that some lives matter less than others. Nazi Germany was not only about ideology. It was about resources. And resources equal power. That same hunger has played out again and again across history.
America is not perfect. It never has been. We often look down our noses at other countries while ignoring what is happening on our own streets. History does not repeat itself because we are stupid. It repeats itself because we refuse to fully look at it.
This is not just an American lesson. It is a world lesson.
One that asks us to correct the pattern.
A power-hungry, patriarchal system that keeps the masses afraid so control is easier. The same old story. Create an enemy. Stoke fear. Justify violence. Take what is not ours and call it necessary. Reopen the draft. Convince people that domination is destiny.
We have seen this before.
It has been about 165 years since the Civil War, the last time Neptune was in Pisces. These planetary cycles do not come back to punish us. They come back to see if we have evolved. In the 1860s, news took months to travel. Now we know instantly, not just next door but across the world.
Our collective consciousness is not where it was then. Back then, slavery was legal. Humans were owned as property. There were slave catchers. Today, we use different language, but the trauma echoes. In the 1860s it was slave patrols. Now it is ICE. Different uniforms. Similar fear.
With Uranus moving from Taurus into Gemini, we are also moving through a strong echo of the 1930s and 1940s, the Great Depression era and the rise of fascism leading to World War II. This energy is ancient. It has been here for millennia. Nothing new. The real question is whether we allow it to keep playing out.
Right now, we have five planets in Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of the collective, of community, of revolution, of sudden change, of future thinking. The personal planets, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, are all crossing Pluto. That is a descent into the underworld. A confrontation with shadow. Individually and collectively.
This is not random. This is initiation.
We are being asked to look at the dark parts of ourselves that are surfacing. To look at the darkness rising in the collective without turning away. Integration is the work. Not denial. Not bypassing. Integration.
If you look closely, something else is happening at the same time. People are organizing. Communities are protecting the young, the vulnerable, and the innocent. Systems that depended on silence are being exposed. Voices that were ignored are being amplified.
This is what evolution looks like. It is messy. It is uncomfortable. It does not feel safe at first.
We are being invited into conscious creatorship.
What do you want to create?
What kind of Earth do you want to live on?
What kind of world do you want your children to inherit?
How can you contribute, right where you are?
The belief that everything is ending is not prophecy. It is a lack of imagination.
We have everything we need to build a more loving, inclusive, and humane world. What we lack is not resources. It is courage. Courage to choose love over fear. Courage to choose responsibility over apathy. Courage to choose our attitude, even when circumstances are heavy.
Frankl taught us that this choice is sacred.
Prayer matters. This is not spiritual bypassing. There is real evidence that collective prayer and collective intention reduce crime rates and shift social outcomes. Consciousness is not passive. It is creative.
Imagine what is possible when intention is aligned with action. When communities come together for the greater good. When fear is no longer the organizing principle.
Look for the light. Look for the helpers. You have a role to play, even if it feels small. Especially if it feels small.
Let love be your guiding force instead of fear.
That is the last human freedom. And it is still ours to choose.
