The Price of Freedom
Imagine living a life free from fear, anxiety, stress, guilt, and hurt. Imagine the peace of being instantly forgiving, to enjoy every moment as if it's your first, to love every moment as if its your last. One of the great ailments that imprisons the human existence is the experience of rush. The cure to rush begins at the understanding that its source is the fear of death. Spiritual teacher Byron Katie shares that it is not a thought that creates suffering; it is that we believe the thought. Imagine surrendering the final belief that death is the end: who would you be without this thought?
The Human Experience: the Mind, Body, and Spirit
The human experience consists of three layers: the mind, body, and spirit. The mind is a sharp tool that creates stories and seeks to affirm itself, leading to suffering through avoidance or withholding forgiveness. The body experiences emotions and projects intuition. The spirit is the ever-present, incorporeal knowing that is Love, which is the fabric of the universe and that death and time are illusions. The spirit can be felt in the heart and heard when the mind quiets itself. To live in Truth and Love, one must surrender the pull of the mind and let go of suppressed emotions. This leads to peace, love, and bliss that can only be experienced. The more one can surrender and be present and vulnerable, the more they can disempower the mind's grip on suffering and awaken to peace, love, and gratitude.
