Freedom

Liberation can be thought of as an event in time, a moment when shackles are broken and freedom from oppression is achieved.
    Liberty itself, however, does not necessarily follow. Freedom is a quality in which the entire self is integrated and expressed in one's life, and choices are made that reflect the true individual.
    The integration of self includes thoughts, feelings, desires, intuition-but also includes that quiet yet persistent internal barometer of morality that we call conscience. It is conscience that we tend to under appreciate. We think of it as a nagging upsurge of guilt, the whisper of our better angels. Equesta holds that conscience is more than that. It is the center of our consciousness, the heart of human nature, the echo of our spirituality.
    With this in mind, Equesta informs us that we cannot be complete as human beings, we cannot really be free or authentically ourselves, without giving conscience its due as an integral part of who we really are.
