Free At Last by The Ghost of Martin Luther King

At the dawn of Mr. Moores landmark victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, Martin Luther King came back from the clouds to deliver a speech to the people: 

My brothers and sisters, we are gathered on this momentous day  60 years since I dreamed a dream that one day men would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Today you are witnessing that arc descend down from the heavenly places and touch each of us on earth. 

 There are certain phrases that strike at the very core of our being, phrases that challenge us to see beyond the surface of what we think we know.

God is both within and beyond you.
The kingdom of heaven is within you.
The truth will set you free.

These words, my friends, seem to bend reality itself. How can something be both within us and beyond us? How can a kingdom, a place of castles and kings, exist inside our hearts? How can we become what we already are?

These questions push us to a truth that cannot be seen with the eyes or heard with the ears. They call us to a place where evidence is not the starting point but the destination. They call us to faith.

And what is faith? Write this down, for it will change how you see the world:

Faith is a choice to believe something is true without evidence, because faith itself is the source of the evidence we seek.

Faith, my brothers and sisters, is the cornerstone of our lives. It is the choice that frees us to act. It is the power that moves mountains, not because we see them move, but because we believe they will. It is not blind, nor is it foolish—it is the light that makes sense of the shadows.

But let me tell you something else about faith: it must be freely chosen. You cannot be forced into faith, for a coerced faith is no faith at all. It is in this choice that you discover your power. You can choose to believe that all men are created equal—or you can choose to deny it. You can choose to believe the world is good—or you can sink into despair. You can choose to believe that the truth will set you free—or you can remain shackled to the lies of this world.

Let me remind you of a truth as old as time itself: Faith is the source of the evidence we seek.

It is faith that grounds our senses. It is faith that allows us to trust the world we see, to believe that what we touch is real, that what we hear is true. Without faith, our senses would deceive us, and the world would be chaos.

Now let us bring this home. Let us apply this to the great struggles of our past and present.

Once, men and women were told they were less than human, that they were slaves to the color of their skin. They were told they could not think, could not choose, could not be free. But some, like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, dared to believe in a truth no one else could see. They dared to believe they were free long before the world acknowledged it.

And today, we face a new form of bondage—a slavery of the spirit, a system that binds us with debt and fear. This system, like the chains of old, tells us we cannot be free. It tells us that we must live in servitude to a currency created out of nothing, a debt that can never be repaid.

But I tell you, just as faith broke the chains of slavery, faith can break these chains as well.

Do not wait for your neighbor to believe. Do not wait for the courts to declare your freedom. Do not wait for the presidents or kings of this world to grant you your dignity. They are waiting for you.

Stand firm in your faith. Declare with your whole being that you are free. And when you do, you will see the truth, and the truth will set you free.

And then, together, we will sing as one people, rich and poor, black and white, man and woman, Jew and Gentile, we will all sing from every valley and every mountaintop:

Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
