Self-Realization is Liberation

Give into the deepest impulse of yourself to be free.

Free from what?

The endless chatter of the mind, the judgment, comparison, expectation, the thoughts of necessities, the needs, wants, desires, everything that governs the hateful words you say to yourself and about others in your head.

It gets tough in there!! (the mind)

Stop trying to find yourself to trust yourself. Instead, start trusting your truth.

A quiet mind can hear the doubt, this is why we practice meditation. Doubts arise from nothing and return to nothing if left alone. It’s when we give attention to it that it spins a story, convincing us of accountability.

Changing your circumstances will never pop the bubble. To stop living in fear, surrender control. The one in control is the fearful one, and the one who must surrender.

The treadmill of living for tomorrow will eventually end in death. If your willing to give that up, everything leading up to this moment is in the past. LEAVE IT THERE. Everything past this moment is unknown. LEAVE IT THERE. Leave everything where it is, let everything be as it is, and leave yourself out of control.

Lose everything to be free. It is simple but not easy.
