The nature of freedom🔗

Freedom is the feeling that larger and larger number of people, places, spaces, as part of you. Freedom means, expanding the boundary you feel about you.

Everyone is using something to experience freedom. A rich man uses his money, and when more and more people are dependent on his money, he feels that his freedom is expanding and they are all under him. A person who identifies with a political party, he feels everyone in that party is under him, and that his freedom has expanded. A person who identifies with a language or a State, he feels that whole zone is his freedom.

'Complete Freedom' comes from feeling ONE with the whole cosmos. There is no sense of violation or struggle in that state.

How to attain Complete Freedom?

When it comes to people that we love and those who love us, we have three types of relatedness with them. They are people with whom:

• 1. You feel love, but they don't reciprocate.
• 2. You feel you love them and they are also reciprocate you. This is the happy-happy situation.
• 3. You feel they love you, they suffocate you, but you don't feel love towards them.

For each one of the above categories of relatedness, do the following steps:

• 1. Remember each person.
  • a. What are the patterns he / she evokes in you?
• b. When did those patterns start happening in you?
• c. When did you start building those patterns and with whom?
• 2. Trace back.
• 3. Pen down the patterns and those incidents.
