Are YOU Ready to MAKE a BREAK?-5
Breaking AWAY
Where do most prisoners go once they are released from their prison? Very often back to the same place, the same relationships, the same influences, the same context within which they went off the rails in the first place. Breaking away from such external influences can help us maintain our inner freedom. That’s not to say other people should be ignored or avoided. But perhaps it will help to spend a little less ‘hang out’ time with those who would draw us back into the old mindsets that contain the old habits of attachment to belief and the emotional dependencies which for so long felt so comfy! So it is that we give our self the best chance to be free of old influences that easily trigger old habits.
So how will we know we have done enough ‘breaking’ down, up, through, in, out and away? What will we feel when we have ‘broken’ through all that would keep us trapped and unhappy? What will we notice when we have ‘broken’ in to the deeper levels of our own being? What will the spiritual air of freedom feel like when our ‘break out’ is complete?
To imagine it, is to see it, to see it, is to realize it, to realize it is to be it, and to be it is to do it! Perhaps this is why Einstein said imagination is much more powerful than knowledge.
It will certainly require a patience that recognizes ‘true freedom’ is not just something you see, it is not even something you feel, it is not something you achieve. It is something you are! It’s the natural state of every being when we are simply being our self.
Are you ready to ‘break through’ and be your self?
Question: Why do the things, ideas, people and places to which we become attached become our prison?
Reflection: What are the specific bars you have built around your ‘self’ that keep you trapped?
Action: Seek out the wisdom and the experience of others that may help you to see for your self why you are not truly free and how to break out of your own self created incarceration!
