The Reality of True Freedom
What does it mean to be "actually" free? Is freedom an ideal or an accomplishment? Thought moves in the time bound conceptual reality of the self. The product of thought is always the continuity of the content of the conscious mind. That which is the accumulated self. When thought thinks of and visualizes freedom, it creates the idea of freedom through definition. When thought through the self creates ideological freedom it also creates its opposite, that which one is seeking to be free from. If one is aware in the moment then it is possible for one to come to the realization that freedom that is formulated by thought is also that which it seeks to be free from. They are one in the same. Freedom from something is not freedom at all but only the continuity of thoughts desire. That "something to be free from" is the illusion of self and its opposite is the continuity of that illusion. If reality is in the moment then true freedom cannot be a continuity of thought, of that which is associated with the memory of what has been.
How does one realize true freedom? True freedom is the outcome of the negation of self. Negation of that which is formulating and seeking reality as an achievement. Whatever is realized through the process of thought is the conceptual and not the reality of what is. Through logical inference thought creates a path to be followed, steps toward an end. But the end of this process is only the beginning of another process. It is the continuity of never ending conflict and resolution. Resolution that is the seed of another conflict. The self cannot seek the truth of freedom because the self is the product of the prison of its accumulation. The movement of thought through that which is the self can only project its content. The self is attached and identified with that which is its content, which is the bondage of the self absorbed.
Freedom is not the result of an activity or a state of consciousness. It is the outcome of a mind that is aware of the movement of thought and as such the dissipation of time/space as the conceptual self. Awareness of that which is the timeless. One cannot realize the true self until one has eliminated the false. The reality of true freedom is the negation of all conceptual ideology and the fusion of the duality of thinker and thought. "Oneness" is freedom that is not associated with a goal or a destination. There is no sense of achievement or gratification in freedom, it is simply the negation of the accumulated conceptual known.
True freedom is the beginning of an intelligence that is outside the known. Intelligence that cannot be defined or become the known. It is the realization of existence as it is in the absolute moment. In the absolute moment there is no movement, only that which is. It is the meditation of the timeless.
