Be Free.
The juvenile Ego loves to think that freedom is to do what you want, when you want.
Many will sell you this lie - often dressed up in luxury, abundance, having your whole life manifested exactly the way you desire or the current trend to live the ‘freedom lifestyle’. But this is for amateurs. They too, will eventually tire of this.
Real freedom has nothing to do with conditions, states or acquiring something outside of yourself. This is bondage.
It is not something you achieve after a long, arduous spiritual path. It is not a reward for those that are ‘good’.
Freedom Is.
After awakening, the real question is - Are you living life as an expression of the realised Truth and Freedom?
Do you give into the Mind and its fears?
or
Do you transcend it and see it for what it is, living life as its fullest expression?
“Don’t try to be good. Strive only to be Free. ”
“An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.”
“Love lives inside the one who is free.”
“When you don’t want to be interesting, you are free.”
“Stop. Stop everything. Then you will realise you are the freedom you have been searching for.”
“When you drop all your ideas, fantasies and projections about who you are and what freedom is and remain completely empty... this is Freedom. ”
“Maybe the Mind is waiting for you to choose Freedom so that it can have a rest.”
