When first trying to receive the present moment there might be boredom. But just below boredom is the experience of stillness.
While becoming more authentic, you may find that you end up discarding many people who don't respect the real you. It may also happen that society does not accept you either. Acceptance from either party should not effect your internal state if you have mastered self love.
There are many things society may expect out of you. You may feel obligated to be a certain way based on what your family or friends or coworkers think. You don't have to listen to these expectations and you don't have to feel obligated. You are free to live in alignment with your true expression.
The only way to ease internal resistance is to learn to work with the internal mechanism. Most people bottle up all of their trauma and frustration and compensate for it in dysfunctional ways. This keeps the entire game of suffering going. The end of suffering comes when one is willing to sit with this pain totally free of judgement.
By suspending what you think you know for one moment, you allow in the reality of what is.
There are subtle ways in which the ego can distort one's perception. For example, the ego will never take responsibility for anything negative in one's life. If we desire improvement in our situations, we must shed the protection of the ego. This means taking full responsibility.
Don't become complacent. Always strive to grow and progress personally. Many people in this world become sick and miserable from bad attitudes and laziness. Instead be up for the challenge of life and become great. You owe it to yourself.
Gratitude and happiness go hand and hand. Focus on what you do have instead of dwelling on what you lack.
Society acts like a herd of sheep being led this way or that without independent thought. Social engineers profit off of this type of behavior. They design our environment in such a way that steers us away from independence and free thinking. So for most of us, our authentic self is covered in societal conditioning. The key to unlocking the authentic self is to question this conditioning.
Freedom isn't for quitters. There are no days off on this path. Those in history that gave us the chance at freedom today had to be unrelenting, there was no other way. We must follow their lead.
The only way out is in. So tenacity for achieving internal freedom is also necessary. Manifesting infinite power to change the external starts within. The effort must be sustained.
Death does not liberate you from your suffering. The tests we go through in this life are the ones we need to evolve. Therefore, trying to thwart these tests is to thwart spiritual progress.
Excessive worrying actually retracts from our ability to act practically. The overwhelming burden of worry can be averted through spiritual practice. Life has more of an ability to take care of itself than most of us give it credit for.
Reject slavery and the depression that comes with being suppressed. You have permission to be free and happy.
Suffering can only end when one has the will and the stamina to push up against internal resistance for long enough that it can pass. Once the suffering passes joy, bliss and peace fill its place.
Paying close attention to reality is how the subtle simplicity of freedom becomes known to the seeker. Paying attention will grow your awareness. Awareness is how one avoids obstacles and can move in the direction of progress towards freedom.
Don't fall into the tragic trap that says just because I took one step forward and two steps back I have gone backwards and am doomed to do so. Every effort in the positive direction is never wasted. Each battle won against your internal resistance is in the "books" forever. Peace.
Success has to start with allowing it to be a possibility for you. Start with allowing in the thoughts of possibility into your life. Think positive :)
The herd is headed on a path of pain. For freedom to be attained we must be willing to blaze our own trail and do things that have never been done before. We must be trend setters, leaders and be practical to restore freedom on the planet.
Waking up to your freedom means realizing the unconditional fulfillment and peace that exists within.
Your nature is actually happiness and bliss. One way of realizing this is by rediscovering nature and receiving the natural stillness that is always being emitted.
Finding the highest expression of who you are should be what drives you. Don't settle for bad emotions and suffering. Pursue pure desires and you will manifest the life you always wanted.
Spiritual discipline may be the key to restoring freedom in the world. This is the type of discipline that leads to realization of the freedom within. "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all things will be added unto you."
Have a good attitude always. Even if the outside influences in your life tell you that you're not capable of something, keep a head up attitude. Maintain that your truest expression is valuable and that you are worthy of showing it to the world. Peace.
Your cycles of pain do not have to be permanent. When you meditate you can consciously watch your suffering and slowly allow distance between you and the cycles of pain. It is in this meditation space where you can finally become free of these cycles which are the source of the problems you face.
Giving up is never an option. Each individual must find his or her own unique expression and there should be no apology for it. The truth that lies in the core of each of us is meant to find expression. These individual expressions will create a tapestry with the collective which will heal all.
Worldly purpose isn't always necessary. Most of the time people's purpose in the world has nothing to do with freedom. Make sure you strive for internal freedom first, then external worldly action may follow.
Humanity as a collective must reevaluate the effect modern technology has had on us. We have more convenience, but are we freer?
There is a difference in how someone who recognizes their freedom versus someone who doesn't operates within the current societal matrix. Most of the time societal expectations and freedom have nothing to do with each other. Discard any expectations from society or from yourself that lead you into bondage.
Don't suppress your ability to think for yourself. The thoughts and ideas that you are offered in the mainstream lend themselves to mental and physical slavery. Have the courage to consider that freedom is possible and that it is your birthright. Independent thought is also the key to realizing the creative genius that you are :)
Take an audit of your beliefs about yourself and life. The thoughts that give you a feeling of despair and suffering are not in resonance with Truth. The Truth is always in resonance with Joy and Freedom. Listen to the news, information and ideas that bring you excitement, passion and joy. Do this and you will realize your freedom.
What does it mean when the social engineers can't afford honest and serious discussion of certain ideas pertaining to freedom? What happens when ideas and information pertaining to freedom are suppressed or out right censored? They certainly can't afford you discovering the truth about your freedom if they wish to keep power.
Clean up your perception and give yourself permission to use your common sense and you will begin to realize that you have been put in chains a long time ago
