Freedom can be more a conceptual Right than a living experience for people today, it is the expression of freedom which is important in life - not the concept; what we are looking for is perhaps more aptly called sovereignty.   Sovereignty is important because it is the very nature of our Self as free will beings, the common denominator in each of our personal relationships to the Creator/Source of life. 

Until the people of diverse cultures recognize the inherent nature of the sovereignty of every other person, irrespective of differences in belief, color, politics, or other affinity divisions; the suffering caused by competition and fear will continue on this planet.  A holistic approach must be developed, one which recognizes the sovereignty of each individual.

The Dalai Lama summed up well the characteristics of sovereignty (as we mean for the word to be used) as a combination of liberty, freedom, and nature; when he stated on October 21, 2007:
 

"Brute force can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom. Freedom is the very source of creativity and human development. It is not enough to provide people with food, shelter and clothing. If we have these things but lack the precious air of liberty to sustain our deeper nature, we remain only half human."

Sovereignty is partly the freedom to joyfully create your life, your own unique truth, and live it in harmony with the rest of creation; even more than that, sovereignty is the character and nature of our consciousness, spirit, Soul, existence. Sovereignty is always waiting to be remembered and claimed as it is your very nature, it can never be lost - only forgotten by the mind. To claim (remember) your sovereignty requires exploration into self-knowledge, and engagement of the mind on the more subtle aspects of creation, to look inward with the mind as opposed to outward.

It is our hope that through the playing of the FDU Game as a parable of life as a Soule, that the spark of Self-Knowledge (what may be Sovereignty) will reveal itself to Players via the Game. In this Game all of the Players are "Sovereign Digital Soules" because that is the nature of reality for the living Soul.

The most important element of sovereignty is Truth, the FDU Game is a search for Truth.

Through this Game we hope to find common Truths about who we are, and how our universe works, even remember that "one thing which when it is known all things are known," - let us call it Universal Truth.

"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them" ~ Orwell
