JANU: What does it mean to be free? In reality, humanity has always been free to experience whatever it chooses, but the choices can become experiences of entrapment with no way out seeming to be the reality. So why do patterns of choice possess you? Because these patterns are not founded on freedom in the ideology, in the perception. The reality of a larger life is not included in the perceptions so the patterns and choices become your identity reality, fixed.
Freedom to be or not to be is the choice. Freedom is everywhere. So how does one possessed by the patterns of choice reaffirm freedom beyond the choice, you see? Remember: what your attention is on you are connected to. So put your attention not on the choice but the result of it. But who made the choice in the first place?
It is wise to explore multiple choices, even set progression limits on those choices that extend to your desire to continue. Choices are not fixed or permanent. No pattern of life is. Everything is mutable. When making a choice, choose to know the wisdom of it, its potential, its life span, its manifestations. Every journey of life, every portrayal, every enactment has a range, interactions and outcomes, whether agreeable or not. Consider any current experience in one’s life and expose it to choices. There is no shame or negative connotation in changing one’s mind, deciding differently. Do not be owned by those patterns of choice. You are a free being that lives, not just in them, but beyond them. They are not who you are. They are temporary journeys.
So choose freedom and be true to your choices as their results are revealed to you. Then choose again whether to continue or change. That is exercising the freedom that you are, our brother. Choose with care, thoughtfulness, insight, and the wisdom you have gained. Namaste.
