What is true freedom?
And why should you strive to have true freedom? What’s the reward?
In many therapy and self-help programs, such as 12 step programs, it begins with a desire to have freedom FROM something: freedom from pain, bondage, limitation, addiction.
But, as the Buddha taught, aversion – our desire to get rid of something in order to be free – is part of the core of the false self.
See, if we’re trying to be free from something, we’re still married to it vibrationally. As long as you’re focused on what you’re being free from, you’re still in bondage to that very thing.
In fact, the more we try to get freedom from, the more bonded we become to that cycle and the more we’re stuck on that wheel of karma.
Every time we try to get or “get rid of” from that place we create more karma, because we’re increasing our sense of separation from the one life, the source, and the substance of all of creation.
That substance of all creation is who and what you are now …not who you’re going to be when you get freedom from a circumstance you don’t like.
And so, as helpful as many self-help programs can be in the beginning, at a certain point we have to shift from trying to get freedom FROM …to stepping into our freedom TO.
A freedom towards something. A freedom to choose. A freedom to live the way you want to live.
There’s economical freedom. There’s mental freedom. There’s emotional freedom. And there is, of course, physical freedom in the form of feeling safe and secure or feeling health and wellbeing.
When we have freedom, it gives us more choices in the midst of circumstances to do what we want regardless of how we feel, how much money we have, even what our beliefs tell us.
You start to get distance, which allows you to observe patterns, expand your awareness, and experience even more freedom.
Listen to “The Price of True Freedom,” which reveals a deeper truth that leads to greater intuition, greater insight, greater wisdom, and even Divine ideas.

“Who do you think you are, God’s gift to the world?”
Heck yeah!
You are literally the gift of God to the world, just like me.
Now you might be thinking, “What is this crazy person talking about? Has he looked around at human nature lately?”
Don’t worry. I’m not blind to the facts of experience.
Yes, there are a lot of crazy people. Frankly, we’re all pretty crazy …humanly speaking.
But that’s not who you and I really are. And that’s not what we’re worshiping.
You are the Buddha, the Christ, the light of the world.
In fact, the very word “human” comes from the Sanskrit for “man” and means the “dispenser of Divine gifts.”
So the very ground you walk on is holy and sacred and hallowed. Because you walk on it.
Therefore you must worship the ground you walk on.
The alternative is false modesty, false humility, or worse: self-loathing.
It’s not arrogant or egotistical to worship yourself. It’s arrogant and egotistical to beat yourself up, to think of yourself as less than gorgeous and beautiful and powerful and wonderful.
That’s arrogant. That’s pure ego.
Listen to “Why You Must Worship the Ground You Walk On” now to rediscover the love, joy, peace, beauty, abundance, wisdom, genius, and magnificence that’s shining within you.

What is the Garden of Eden story?
Adam eats of the fruit of the knowledge of the tree of good and evil. Then all hell breaks loose.
Adam falls into a dream of being separate from the one life or the one power.
In his dream, he succumbs to the belief that there are many powers, divided fundamentally into two types: good power and evil power.
Adam’s “knowledge” of good and evil is the fundamental flaw in human consciousness that creates all suffering.
The problem of good and evil is the one problem that creates all of our human problems. It is our sense of being separate from this one life or this one power.
All great religions are established to solve this illusion of two powers, of duality.
The illusion that there’s God and you.
Listen to “Why You Should NOT Stand in Your Power” now to learn what Jesus, Buddha, and Lao Tsu were teaching: a path to dissolving your sense of separation.

There are different types of freedom: emotional, mental, physical, social, financial and many more.
These types of freedom are what we strive to achieve by escaping what have been called “The Five Gates of Hell” that trap us in emotionalism, intellectualism, sensualism, personalism, and materialism.
Ultimately, real freedom can never exist as long as we believe someone or something outside of our consciousness is the source of anything in our life. (more…)

What have your loved ones given you?
And those that you haven’t even known, but who you love because they gave you so much – Buddha, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., Shakespeare, your ancestors – what specific thing or item did they give to you?
It was no material object.
Their real gift was their Presence: the activity, quality, or frequency of Consciousness that they caught and downloaded and anchored on Earth.
Perhaps that Divine idea was love. Perhaps it was a belief in yourself.
Whatever it was, they activated and downloaded some eternal quality in a unique and unprecedented way.
Listen to “Opening Up Your Presence” now, and find out how to catch and anchor that beautiful quality that is your gift to the world.
