Today’s topic is a complex one, and I’m going to try my hardest to explain it clearly. I might jump around, I might not be totally clear, and if that’s the case, I apologise. I genuinely welcome positive criticism—if something isn’t clear or you have questions, leave them in the comments.
I'm talking about sovereignty and personal responsibility—because these two things are what give our soul freedom. Freedom from the Earth matrix, not just when we die, but right now, in this life, and far beyond.
When we take ownership of our mental and emotional state, we begin to experience spiritual freedom while living in the body. We stop being enslaved by our own mind, our own emotions, and our own triggers. We live beyond the ego.
Transcending the ego isn’t about killing it—it’s about understanding it. You know it’s there, you see it working, and yet you make a conscious choice in how you respond. This is awareness.
Before that awareness, it feels like you have no choice in how you respond and react emotionally. You’re on autopilot, with someone—or something—else holding the remote control to your life.
Taking the remote back requires one thing: full autonomy over yourself. Until you understand that and take responsibility for it, you’ll keep running in loops, chasing the freedom your soul knows is possible—but never quite getting there.
The Prison We Build for Ourselves
One of the aspects of freedom that I talk about is freedom from the emotional or mental prison you might be living in. This is freedom that comes when you reclaim your power over yourself from every single thing you’ve given it away to. You have to understand where you have done this in order to take it back.
In other blogs and episodes of The Sovereign Soul Podcast, I’ve spoken about revoking soul contracts—not just in this life, but also in the spiritual realm after death. Because if you’re still bound by contract, if you still outsource your power to a god, a being, or an energy, a system, you’re not fully in your power because you are not autonomous. You are bound to something else. They are invisible cords and contracts which rob your autonomy and keep you asleep. We all have thousands, if not millions of these contracts which have been formed over thousands of lifetimes. And you live obliviously unaware of this, and the effect it has on your life.
Personal responsibility can feel incredibly hard for people to grasp because it’s easier to believe that something outside of you holds the answers. That someone can love you into feeling lovable. That a god can redeem you. That a weekend workshop will “transform your life forever.”
But here’s the truth: you can have the most beautiful, life-changing experience—and yet you still have to come back to your life. You still have to drive your own spaceship: your mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and physical body. Reality might take a week, a month, or a year to hit—but eventually, you’ll be face-to-face with yourself again. Learning how to drive it on your own, in your own authority and power is the sauce for freedom. To stop being pulled unconsciously out of your power.
The Most Powerful Realisation Ever...
The only way to reclaim sovereignty is to know that nothing outside of you is choosing your experiences—good or bad. Only you are.
The ego loves to label things as good or bad, stuck in deep duality—craving one thing, resisting another. But the truth? Nothing is inherently good or bad. It’s our perception that decides whether we suffer or move through it. The ego hides from responsibility. It outsources it's power to blame, pity, and hoping to be rescued.
If sovereignty is real, then before we even came into these bodies, we consciously chose every single experience we’d have. But here’s the catch: when we’re reborn, we suffer from spiritual amnesia. We forget our choices, our past lives, our agreements. And this forgetting—this separation—is part of the trap. Because we don't remember choosing, and we don't remember our divinity. It becomes unconscious choice. And people don't relate to that. They resist is, and become victims to it.
When you don’t remember, life feels like it’s just happening to you. For me, it felt like I was thrown in a washing machine for decades—spun in every direction—until I finally started finding my feet around 38 or 39. That’s when I truly began driving my life from a place of conscious choice instead of unconscious reaction, because I took personal responsibility for what I was experiencing. I owned the unconscious choices. They then became a conscious, healing and healthy part of me. Everything was embraced as happening for my higher good.
Responsibility is a Radical Act
We’re not taught to take responsibility for ourselves—especially not from a spiritual perspective. The world is set up to encourage dependence on systems: political, medical, religious, educational, even family systems. We hand over our power because we’ve been conditioned to believe they have more authority over us than we do.
But real autonomy—real sovereignty—is knowing yourself as a free being. It’s knowing you chose this life, these experiences, and that they are all leading you somewhere good.
This is how you override the contracts and experiences that have you defeated. This is how you reclaim your power. By owning your entire story. By saying:
"I wrote this. I chose this. No one, and nothing else did."
From that place, you can finally start recognising the difference between a conscious choice and an unconscious one—and then, through self ownership, choose differently.
