Can the Mind "Know" Freedom?

What is your level of awareness? Does that awareness see and realize the depth of your illusion?The subtleties of a mind that is a prisoner of belief and attachment. The violence of an individuality that is seeking power and influence. The mind that is aggressive and self serving is a mind that is destructive, seeking to escape its own perceived inadequacy. Why do we not see, totally within ourselves, the physical and psychological evidence of our society of greed and depraved image brokering? Why do we essentially repeat what has been throughout history, the destructiveness of authority and its organizational mentality? We cannot accept the truth of freedom that is our birthright, instead we want the illusion of security. Tyranny in the guise of "controlled and conditioned freedom". There is no freedom in the compromising dogma of authority. There is no middle ground with regard to freedom, there is only the truth of a persons actual state. Freedom is the outcome of an in the moment realization of what is. When you see "actually" that you are not free, then there is action in the moment.

If you are totally aware then there can be a revolution within. Throwing off all the accumulated junk that is the result of one's worship of authority. We are referring to the authority of the other and of the self. There is no authority unless one creates it, allowing the illusion of authority to control, results in the continuity of ones conflicted past. One adheres to the standards of what amounts to the psychologically ingrained aspects of a conditioned existence. If you live through your conditioning, then essentially you are a rote mechanism that mimics what has been. Your mind is auto-controlled by conceptual images that are the result of one's desire for security.

I don't know if you are aware of it but there is a relationship that exist between the desire for security and attachment that is essentially the minds way of escaping the truth of the moment. When there is attachment there is the illusion of security. But that attachment only leads to further desire for more attachment, which creates the fear of not having. It is the psychological impetus for all conflict. The reality is that attachment equals conflict because the ideal of security is the illusion a self that is seeking. A mind that is in illusion can realize that in the truth of the moment there is only insecurity. Life is in fact insecure. If one is illuminated, in a consciousness that is not a conditioned movement of the self that "knows", then one realizes that security and insecurity are one in the same. A person realizes the truth of freedom that is the dissipation of the duality of a mind that is caught in the defined. This realization is simplicity itself, but because the mind is captured by the opposition of defined ideals it is very difficult to see directly. This is why it is very important to let go of ones beliefs and attachments. Until you allow yourself to see clearly without opinion or conclusion you are forever trapped in the conditioned ignorance of your own mind. This is the reality, you must be free in order to realize freedom. That is why it is said that freedom is not freedom from something, but the realization of the true self. The true self that is without identification or attachment.
