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.

Right for the soul

Accepting what is doesn’t mean doing nothing, although that is a choice, of course, it means not suffering the pain of resisting something that can never be changed.

The situation you are in is always the present moment and anything that has occurred in that moment, within a nanosecond of you being aware of it, it is already the past.

Normal unconscious mind possessed behaviour means that what is occurring doesn’t fit our story, the ego does not like it, so it resists, it fights, it denies the absolute truth of the present moment. The fight, the resistance, all the negativity in our mind creates the emotion/turbulence in the body which is the mental and physical suffering of not accepting the external world and what is.

However, once we accept what is the pain goes, peace comes, and we can act or not according to what our true self is feeling. We respond from a place of peace, love and our soul. We do not then respond from our egotistical mind possessed state and we do not become the emotion, we are not the reaction.

Letting go and acceptance is the route to acting consciously according to what is truly right for our soul.
