On True Freedom (Part 1)

★What Freedom Means to You

There’s something I’d like you to try after reading this talk.

That is, close your eyes and, while breathing deeply, reflect on what freedom means to you.

What kind of image appears on the screen of your mind then?

Freedom from relationships, such as with your parents and siblings?

Freedom from school, your company, or other organizations?

Freedom from financial constraints?

Freedom from physical constraints such as illness?

Or is it not freedom from something, but an image of your ideal realized, or a state in which what you want to achieve has been accomplished?

When your consciousness has entered into the belief that your existence is the physical body itself, you tend to think of freedom from such-and-such, right?

And in many cases, the object you recognize as restricting you is something in the physical dimension, and you often picture the freedom of being released from it, the freedom of having escaped it.

But to tell the truth, there is no true freedom in the future that lies beyond acts of trying to escape from something you see as restricting you and become free.

★True Freedom

True freedom lies within divine consciousness.

Taking as an example the Cosmic Humanity who evolved in consciousness before you and are already enjoying true freedom to the fullest: for everyone, it is perfectly ordinary to be in a state of mind in which being alive (being kept alive) itself is something to be grateful for, something too good for them, something joyful. Living and making the most of life is fun and fulfilling, and they’re in a state of mind without a shred of complaint or dissatisfaction.

When Earth achieves ascension, you, the people of Earth, will all soon be living in that state too.

Now, many people who aim for the evolution of consciousness think of the freedom one step before that as freedom.

That is, a state of mind that believes without doubt that being released from one’s own assumptions, from attachments, and from the self-consciousness one mistook for oneself is true freedom.

When you graduate from that stage, you understand as a matter of course that moving from something to something else wasn’t true freedom, only a sideways move, and you can freely use the sacred light of life and accomplish the creation of your destiny as you will.

Once you evolve in consciousness to that stage, your thoughts are no longer in the heaven and earth of dualistic opposition, so you no longer think of changing unsatisfying situations into satisfying ones.

At that stage, all your thoughts of wanting to do this or that are within divinity, so your thoughts, words, and actions don’t set you against anything or make anyone unhappy. Everything you do is great harmony itself, and you can live a life in which only good things, only wonderful things, unfold.

That is true freedom.

When you truly understand this, everyone can live happily.

In that state of mind, there’s not a single seed of unfreedom, so you feel no lack and no complaint.

What does it mean that there are no seeds? It means your consciousness has clearly remembered, and can let go of, the fact that the complaints, dissatisfaction, and sense of lack you’ve felt until now didn’t have their cause in the outside world, but were like illusions and hallucinations created by your own thoughts believing them = the cause lay in how you used your thoughts. (It means you’ve leapt across the trapeze of consciousness.) (Continued next time)
