How can you experience liberation without freeing your mind from misunderstandings?
Some of us believe that the main causes for stress are conformity to structures as well as standards. You don’t conform, you are considered bad. For my part I have broken free a long time ago and prefer to live my life where I’m not confined. I’m done with rigid structures. And also concepts of customs. Traditions I ‘do’ in small doses. Rules and regulations I avoid. I have no time for politics as I believe that all we hear and ‘see’ is already decided before we are asked. As far as economics go a lot is to put us in a state of fear to stop us from questioning what is really going on in the world. That leaves health and of course, even there I have my opinions and those are well known to those who know or follow me.

Every fault, every misconception, all suffering and all stresses start when you suffer with lack of understanding. Understanding the relative truth. Well, you may say that everything is relative. And you are right.
So why worry? Relativity says that there is no need to worry and there is no need to get stressed. Nothing lasts forever. Only the thought of it makes us worry and causes us stress, and many stresses, if things don’t go our way derive from being nervous. Nervousness causes stress!
Children for an example are under high pressure. They want to be the best. They are in competition at all times. But as nothing is best, they feel stressed. By trying to catch the rainbow, their stress seems endless.
Some people feel they have to work 24/7 to have something to show for. Their home. Their car. Their places of travel. Their standards and their way of life. They want others to believe in their wealth. But even getting there, that isn’t what it is all about. Money or material things won’t get you there.
Once we understand and know that the life we live is relative, we can work towards
** financial freedom
** driving a nice car
** raising a family
** leading a fun filled life
… and whatever else you fancy. You could have the best of both worlds.
What’s the point in working ad living a life without being content? Satisfied? Happy? You’d be working and living a life for suffering. we all know that the more we get the more we want. But staying fixed on material gain causes even more suffering.
We are made up of movable atoms. Measureless just as your thoughts. Balance moves you forward. By being a virtuous being, you live in the flow. In the flow of balance. A flow of movement.
There is no need to stop living a busy life. But aquire knowledge. In your mind even the most little change makes a lot of difference. No matter how small the change is, it will make a huge difference.
It is not necessary to be anxious. It is not necessary to try and run after something. Practise compassion. Let go of nervousness. Don’t feel you need to finish things i.e. because you are getting old. And you can die. We can die tomorrow for that matter, so what. You might just enjoy what you have NOW.
The energy of love keeps everything alive. It keeps it going. Love is needed for advancement for us in virtue as well as truth. Love is the only truth in moving us forward. In carrying us to the next level of evolution.
So why not free your mind, enjoy your journey and just be yourself?
