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…?
