How is the Freedom you speak of Possible?

There must be a simple awareness that is not the result of the mind that is seeking something. You must be aware in the moment and realize how utterly trapped you are by the conditioned mind. How that every moment of your life is the preprogramed or modified preprogramed result of a mind that is seeking the projection of self in what is. One is almost completely predictable because one reacts out of the memory of the self absorbed. What has been is what will be. The mind is constantly seeking security in what is perceived as the reality of thoughts movement. But that security is never realized because it is the projection of a conceptual ideal. The reality is there is no such thing as security. Freedom is insecurity, one is already free, but mind blocks the realization of it. One lives in the illusion of the security of self image. Life is lived escaping from the reality of the absolute moment, which is total freedom.

Essentially the mind seeks security in attachment and identity. We identify with what we believe in. We create our own self enclosing bondage. We view and react in life through that bondage, that self created image we have of ourselves. It is one of the reasons we are in such conflict. If one can realize and see, taste, and feel the conflict that is born of the self and how that everyone is enslaved by its violence, then perhaps one will break away from what has been. There will be insight into human conditioning and one will move in a new direction, one of freedom, understanding and love. Without freeing yourself from the known, you will only modify what has gone on before. You will still live in the conflict and violence of the self absorbed.

It is simple, but it is also complicated by the mind that is weighted down by the accumulations of culture, religion, and all the rest of the nonsense that the cluttered and utterly confused mind contains. Just be aware that your mind is in this state of conflict and confusion which is totally self inflicted. If you have passion to find that deep level of understanding then you will free yourself. You will realize the beauty and love of insecurity and vulnerability.
