  RENOVATION: GENUINE FREEDOM FROM EATING DISORDERS
I realize that some of my audience may be very emotionally tender, and the material on these pages may be upsetting to someone who is not ready for them.
My position is that all problems are spiritual problems.
My target audience is not those who have already found answers to their problems, but those who have not.

  My Bondage and My Freedom. By Frederick Douglass. With and Introduction. By James M`Cune Smith.
My country eyes and ears were confused and bewildered here; but the boys were my chief trouble.
My new mistress happily proved to be all she seemed to be, when, with her husband, she met me at the door, with a most beaming, benignant countenance.
My employment was to run errands, and to take care of Tommy; to prevent his getting in the way of carriages, and to keep him out of harm's way generally.

 Frederick Douglass, 1818-1895. My Bondage and My Freedom. Part I. Life as a Slave. Part II. Life as a Freeman.
My grandmother--whether because too old for field service, or because she had so faithfully discharged the duties of her station in early life, I know not--enjoyed the high privilege of living in a cabin, separate from the quarter, with no other burden than her own support, and the necessary care of the little children, imposed.
My grandmother, though advanced in years--as was evident from more than one gray hair, which peeped from between the ample and graceful folds of her newly-ironed bandana turban--was yet a woman of power and spirit.
My mother threatened her with complaining to old master in my behalf; for the latter, though harsh and cruel himself, at times, did not sanction the meanness, injustice, partiality and oppressions enacted by Aunt Katy in the kitchen.

 Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom - EDITOR'S PREFACE
In my letters and speeches, I have generally aimed to discuss the question of Slavery in the light of fundamental principles, and upon facts, notorious and open to all; making, I trust, no more of the fact of my own former enslavement, than circumstances seemed absolutely to require.
I have never placed my opposition to slavery on a basis so narrow as my own enslavement, but rather upon the indestructible and unchangeable laws of human nature, every one of which is perpetually and flagrantly violated by the slave system.
"My mother was tall, and finely proportioned; of deep fl, glossy complexion; had regular features; and among other slaves was remarkably sedate in her manners." "Being a field hand, she was obliged to walk twelve miles and return, between nightfall and daybreak, to see her children" (p.

 selection from My Bondage and My Freedom
My condition in the year (1838) of my escape, was, comparatively, a free and easy one, so far, at least, as the wants of the physical man were concerned; but the reader will bear in mind, that my troubles from the beginning, have been less physical than mental.
Nevertheless, I watched my opportunity when Master Thomas came to Baltimore (for I was still his property, Hugh only acted as his agent) in the spring of 1838, to purchase his spring supply of goods, and applied to him, directly, for the much-coveted privilege of hiring my time.
It is my opinion, that thousands would escape from slavery who now remain there, but for the strong cords of affection that bind them to their families, relatives and friends.

 frederick douglass, the last flogging, from 'my bondage and my freedom"
From My Bondage and My Freedom, by Frederick Douglass (1855).
My resistance was entirely unexpected, and Covey was taken all aback by it, for he trembled in every limb.
But, my present advantage was threatened when I saw Caroline (the slave-woman of Covey) coming to the cow yard to milk, for she was a powerful woman, and could have mastered me very easily, exhausted as I now was.

 My Bondage and My Freedom
I was now, for the first time in my life, to be a field hand; and in my new employment I found myself even more awkward than a green country boy may be supposed to be, upon his first entrance into the bewildering scenes of city life; and my awkwardness gave me much trouble.
Covey (my brother in the Methodist church) gave me a bitter foretaste of what was in reserve for me. I presume he thought, that since he had but a single year in which to complete his work, the sooner he began, the better.
The sores on my back, from this flogging, continued for weeks, for they were kept open by the rough and coarse cloth which I wore for shirting.

One of the first circumstances that opened my eyes to the cruelty and wickedness of slavery, and the heartlessness of my old master, was the refusal of the latter to interpose his authority, to protect and shield a young woman, who had been most cruelly abused and beaten by his overseer in Tuckahoe.
My plays and sports, most of the time, took me from the corn and tobacco fields, where the great body of the hands were at work, and where scenes of cruelty were enacted and witnessed.
My attention was called to the scene, by the noise, curses and screams that proceeded from it; and, on going a little in that direction, I came upon the parties engaged in the skirmish.

 My Bondage and My Freedom
It is due, however, to my mistress to say, that she did not adopt this course in all its stringency at the first.
It was, at least, necessary for her to have some training, and some hardening, in the exercise of the slaveholder's prerogative, to make her equal to forgetting my human nature and character, and to treating me as a thing destitute of a moral or an intellectual nature.
Auld--my mistress--was, as I have said, a most kind and tender-hearted woman; and, in the humanity of her heart, and the simplicity of her mind, she set out, when I first went to live with her, to treat me as she supposed one human being ought to treat another.

 Breaking Big Brother: Strategies for Regaining Independence, Freedom, and Privacy in America
You are treated like an indentured slave by a corporate feudal system, but because you are free to drive about in your car (assuming you have your state-granted "privilege" to drive, your driver's licence, your sstate registration, and your state-required insurance), you are made to think you are free, but you are not free.
We need doctors and dentists, for example, who are willing to provide their services for patients who only want to provide their name, a mailing address, and a telephone number where they can be reached or a message can be left for them and NOTHING MORE in the way of personal identity or documentation.
Of course, most doctors are paid by insurance companies and insurance companies are at the heart of the problem, but new collective groups can be formed of private citizens who wish to pool their funding resources and payment arrangements can be made with willing physicians.
