Freedom is not

Freedom is not found on the beach, or up a tree, or swimming in the sea.

Freedom is not a holiday, a day off work, a freelancing job.

Freedom is not being single, getting divorced, your children leaving home.

Freedom is not escaping prison, it is not paying off the mortgage, it is not living in a tent or not something you get from your cellphone provider or bank.

Freedom is when we follow our heart, feel our soul, discover our true essence, our true being, and when we silence the mind. Freedom is being the true being that we all are deep inside.

Freedom is a conscious life without our ego in this present moment.

Forms

Autumn by Philip Dodson

All forms are temporary, both physical and mental.

Our attachment to them builds our own prison.

Freedom comes when we allow ourselves just to be conscious and accepting of this present moment and what is. When we surrender within and offer no negative internal resistance. We let go and just be.

The seasons in nature teach us that things evolve, flourish and go…however, the complete energy and life of the planet, the universe continues.

The only permanent thing is consciousness.
