Freedom is not

Posted on by philipdodson

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.

The next ‘big’ thing is what many spend their life waiting for…a wedding, a holiday, a promotion, a new car and so on. The mind and its ego waiting for the ‘important’ and opportunity to perhaps become superior for a moment, of course, the moment is short-lived.

The problem is the ‘big’ things only amount to about 0.1% or less of our life. So that means we spend 99.9% of our time waiting for the ‘big’ thing, waiting to be noticed, waiting to feel ‘special’ or ‘important’.

The little moments, as in this one right now are what we could choose to be aware of and enjoy, or instead, we can carry on projecting into the future in our unconscious mind-state and ignoring 99.9% of our lives.
