True freedom

Posted on by philipdodson

Don’t be fooled by your mind into thinking you have to play out different roles in life according to where you are or who you are with or what you are doing.

So when you are at a shop, you do not have to be a ‘customer’ or when you are at home you do not have to be a ‘mother’ or when you are at work, you don’t have to be ‘an employee’ or ‘the boss’.

If we allow ourselves just to be, the real you and I comes from the soul, from our true essence and is the same whatever we are doing or whoever we are with. We are not bound by the story, the ego, the mind’s tricks.

That is true freedom…pure consciousness and being, just being.

Saving people

Posted on by philipdodson

We cannot walk other people’s paths for them. They have to heal their own pain, find their own path, take their own journey. The responsibility is theirs and only they will know the answer for themselves from within and not from their mind or ours.

We cannot heal them, advise them or defuse their own inner problems.

We are not here to save everyone, they do not need saving, they just have to learn their own way, find their path, make their own light.

We can provide them with our empathy, our non-judgemental listening, we can share our own path as an example that they may be lifted by, we can share our light with them.

We all have all the wisdom we need deep within our soul from the moment we are born, yet we are conditioned to turn to the limited knowledge of our mind, which can only draw on memories of what has happened to us up to this moment in our life.

The wisdom of the entire universe is within our soul and beyond our limited mind.
