Freedom from - The Destination 'and' the Journey

[Guest guest]

You have been told 'it is the journey, not the destination' where the real

living is found ... and this is True but now Know that there is more, yet 'far'

less to it than this.

The ego likes you to 'seek and never find' ... to chase your tail ... to 'feel'

the excitement of being busy ... and as you rest your head upon your pillow at

night to take a long, deep sigh and have a happy feeling that you did indeed

accomplish something that day ... this is a little release of anxiety not

Freedom. This has been one of the ego's traps to keep you asleep, oblivious to

the True Joy that is Yours ... to the Joy That You Are.

Your Freedom is not a destination that results from some list of activities you

must perform ... that too has been an ego lie that most people, who even suspect

there must be something better than the existence they have lived, firmly

believe.

You Are Free NOW!

You have been told that what you place your Attention upon expands ... and this

is true.

Ask yourself ... 'where is my attention now?'

This list is likely long and mostly invisible to your awareness. This list is

your self imposed prison sentence ... no matter how lofty your ideals may be ...

they are still 'out there' in another dream to become your next reality ... they

are still prisons you will occupy 'when' you get there. There is NO 'there' to

get to ... 'there' is a destination, 'there' is a part of separation because it

isn't NOW ... separation is duality, is a dream, is an illusion ... it is NOT

Freedom.

This is why many have accepted that living Now ... in the journey - toward a

destination - is real living. Losing yourself in the NOW moment IS Reality ...

but when it is 'attached' to a destination ... a 'hoped for' expectation, it is

not Freedom.

Placing your Attention only on the Truth - I AM FREE NOW - IS Freedom and your

Awareness of this Truth and the Joy you experience 'expands' as you are vigilant

for this Truth.

This is 'not' a destination but an 'unfolding' Awareness that you Are FREE NOW

and that you have never NOT been FREE.

All experience of seemingly 'doing' something becomes a Joy in the Consciousness

'of' Freedom. There is no anxiety or stress connected to any task or where it

might lead.

From Freedom, your task-doing does not 'hope for' or 'expect' anything ... you

are simply in the Joy of Free expression.

This 'Essence' radiates from your Being and all Life is influenced by IT ...

Freedom sets Itself Free.
