− | '''Dawn''' is the [[time]] that marks the beginning of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight twilight] before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise sunrise]. It is recognized by the [[presence]] of weak sunlight, while the [[sun]] itself is still below the [[horizon]]. Dawn should not be [[confused]] with sunrise, which is the [[moment]] when the leading edge of the sun itself appears above the [[horizon]]. | + | '''Dawn''' is the [[time]] that marks the beginning of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight twilight] before [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise sunrise].

− | The duration of the twilight period between dawn and sunrise varies greatly depending on the [[observer]]'s [[latitude]], from a few minutes in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics equatorial regions] to many hours in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_region polar regions].

| + | How you feel upon meeting the ''new day'' is a good [[measure]] of your level of spiritual [[liberty]]. Do you [[wake]] and greet God with [[anticipation]] of the day's [[adventures]]? Are you excited to [[participate]] in the day or filled with dread of it? [[Ponder]] your own self-[[imprisonment]]. How would you feel if you had no [[worries]]? |
| + | |
| + | To feel the [[freedom]] of making your own [[decisions]] is giving [[the soul]] permission to search, learn and [[grow]] as it will. When you are exercising spiritual [[liberty]], you don't feel mistakes to be so crushing or [[embarrassing]], and so you need not be so hard on your [[growing soul]]. |
| + | |
| + | Spiritual [[liberty]] is extending that mortal [[vision]] to gain a broadened [[divine]] view. The [[joy]] from this my friends is not to be described adequately. Only by [[experience]] can you know the real joy of this freedom and in this joy you look forward to the day's [[adventures]]. - [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-03-26-Spiritual_Freedom Abraham] |
