Freedom

 

If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will be. 

Viveknanda

My experience of life seems so important. It pulls me and demands my attention.  But really, how important are life circumsatnces really?  Is focus on them worth my freedom?

Never.

I want to be free.  That is what I want.  Being free is being free of "me" and all its petty woes. It is standing back and away from this thing we created as it deals with all the drama...focusing on all those thoughts and feelings and all these things it is picking up with its senses that actually comes from nothing.  Form comes from nothing.  The quantum physicists are even proving that with the "God particle" which is actually not particle...but wavelets of energy. 

Here we are focusing on this idea of "me" and it pulls us in and imprisons us.  "Me" is our warden. We need to get beyond the warden's control to realize how free we actually are. 

I consistently wake up in those early morning hours and I sit in it. I probably have less "me" at those times than I have all day.  All these heavy problems and challenging people I am dealing with during the day...though still there in my mind...do not prevent me from getting to that space these sacred hours offer...where there is no thought, no warden...no confinement. I can find these tiny  glimpses of that freedom. And it is beautiful.

Yoganada said that meditating was like entering the laboratory of soul research.

I am a scientist on a mission. The "me" can no longer be the specimen I am studying.  The Soul (or consciousness) must be. 

All is well
