What is true freedom?
And why should you strive to have true freedom? What’s the
reward?
In many therapy and self-help programs, such as 12 step
programs, it begins with a desire to have freedom FROM something:
freedom from pain, bondage, limitation, addiction.
But, as the Buddha taught, aversion - our desire to get rid of
something in order to be free - is part of the core of the false
self.
See, if we’re trying to be free from something, we’re still
married to it vibrationally. As long as you’re focused on what
you’re being free from, you’re still in bondage to that very
thing.
In fact, the more we try to get freedom from, the more bonded we
become to that cycle and the more we’re stuck on that wheel of
karma. Every time we try to get or “get rid of” from that place, we
create more karma because we’re increasing our sense of separation
from the one life, the source, and the substance of all of
creation.
That substance of all creation is who and what you are now
...not who you’re going to be when you get freedom from a
circumstance you don’t like.
And so, as helpful as many self-help programs can be in the
beginning, at a certain point we have to shift from trying to get
freedom FROM ...to stepping into our freedom TO.
A freedom towards something. A freedom to choose. A freedom to
live the way you want to live.
There’s economical freedom. There’s mental freedom. There’s
emotional freedom. And there is, of course, physical freedom in the
form of feeling safe and secure or feeling health and
wellbeing.
When we have freedom, it gives us more choices in the midst of
circumstances to do what we want regardless of how we feel, how
much money we have, even what our beliefs tell us.
You start to get distance, which allows you to observe patterns,
expand your awareness, and experience even more freedom.
Listen to “The Price of True Freedom,” which reveals a deeper
truth that leads to greater intuition, greater insight, greater
wisdom, and even Divine ideas.
