Over the last few years struggle, chaos and upheaval have permeated all aspects of my life. It has been very difficult and even terrifying at times. I’ve lost my job, my living space, relationships, many aspects of my identity and most of my material possessions. However I created this experience with the simple but powerful intention to be free, truly free at all levels. All this difficultly came about as I confronted my doubts, fears and attachments and learned often the hard way to let go of all that is not my essence. I have no regrets, I embrace the pain with the pleasure, the bad with the good. When you take away the dualistic labels everything is an expression of the divine and from that perspective one can experience true equanimity, accepting and embracing what is in each moment. Flowing freely with life. Co-creating your world with the full creative force of the universe behind you.
I’ve begun to realize that I really am complete in this moment as I am. My home is the eternal NOW so I am always at home no matter where I am. All living beings are my brothers and sisters so I am always with my family, never alone.
I no longer believe my beliefs because they are just thoughts with no inherent reality. I don’t need to believe what I think. I can just honor my thoughts as I honor the passing weather and honor the thoughts of others without being threatened by them. When you don’t identify with your thoughts as who you are or as an absolute truth you become free of the prison of your mind. The mind can then become a more fluid tool to use to interact with the world of form and create within it.
There is no need to fear, to worry or to suffer. There is no need to figure anything out. Life can be quite effortless if we can let go of trying to control it and live from a higher level of consciousness which is our true nature. Flow with life rather than resisting it. Co-create with the divine. See the dream as a dream and realize yourself as the dreamer. This isn’t something to think about. Its not something to believe or another interesting philosophy. Its not something to know or to attain in the future. It is and always has been right here right now, it is what you already are. You are free, you are divine, right now.
Will you choose to step into that? I hope so, I sure am.
This post feels like a channeling from The Fool in Tarot on how to just live joyfully,even as and especially as, he steps off the cliff…
Freedom isn’t free…..usually comes from pain and suffering…..then surrendering.
