So you say you want freedom?
So you say you want FREEDOM?
New Year’s resolutions and all that…
You say that you live your life by it
That you believe it is one of the most important values a human being can hold
Sounds so liberating right?
Yeah…
I’ve said it to!
More than once or twice even…
Yet!
Until the point you realise
You misconstrued the entire concept of freedom
You live an illusion of what freedom truly is
What freedom truly means
You say you want to be
– free from pain
– free from debt
– free from frustration
– free from anger
– free from hatred
– free from worry
– free from problems
– free from angst
– free from insecurities
– free from…….
The thing is you see
For as long as you’re alive
You can never be free from anything!
Your mind works in visions and pictures
And f iI tell you:
“Don’t think of a pink elephant…!”
What is the first thing that you think of?
???? ???? of course! ????
So what do you think your mind focuses on, when with intent, you make all of those statements
That you want to be free from all those things,
All your mind does is zoom in on the main focus:
– pain
– debt
– frustration
– anger
– hatred
– worry
– problems
– angst
– insecurities
And you probably heard…
That what you FOCUS on EXPANDS!
And where your intention goes, your energy flows…
And when you focus on freeing yourself from x, y and z
Your logical mind has to hold on to all things that you want to be free from
Otherwise the whole concept simply does not make sense anymore
And your mind my dear friend
It doesn’t like that!
So it holds on to all these:
– pain
– debt
– frustration
– anger
– hatred
– worry
– problems
– angst
– insecurities
And round you go in your circles…
Of motivation to get away from all your perceived pain
To taking one step
To then be snapped right back in to recreating it all
Ever thought it seems just a little insane?
David Deida in his book Blue Truth beautifully describes the concept of freedom:
“Freedom doesn’t mean freedom from.
As long as you’re alive, you can never be free from pain, loss, death.
Things come and go, including your loved ones and your own body and mind.
True freedom means FREEDOM AS.
True freedom is to FEEL FULLY and
Be alive as LOVE,
FEELING as this entire moment,
OPENING just as this moment is”
Now isn’t that exciting?
To know that you are always FREE
FREE AS YOU and the being you are
In this moment
And in the next that’s about to come
Free to experience everything fully
The love
The hurt
The pain
The excitement
Free to interpret everything as you choose
Free to create your experiences as you wish
Moment to moment
Breath to breath
And yeah I know what you may be thinking right now
That you just don’t want all the hurt, you don’t want the pain, you don’t want the darkness at all in your life
Yet
My question to you is:
How else would you know that you’re experiencing love
That you’re experiencing light
That you’re experiencing joy
If you never knew what the opposite feels like…?
