“The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.”
Eckart Tolle
My Message of the Month
Spiritual Freedom
Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. Something is "free" if it can change easily and is not constrained in its present state. ... A person has the freedom to do things that will not, in theory or in practice, be prevented by other forces.
Freedom - Wikipedia
Welcome the month of July !
A time of summer parties, meeting new people and celebrating our independence. How wonderful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. A time to come together, honor what we do have as well each other. June had been so intense for everyone on the planet. The continuous rising of the Pandemic followed by useless killings and the protesting for racial fairness. Back and forth debating between our Politicians, health officials and the fight for equality, not to mention the lack of employment. How does one remain true to themselves while supporting others in their quest for change. So much to digest in one month that I am sure almost everyone is ready to celebrate the holiday of Independence.
This 4th of July will be a different kind of event. Instead of partying and fellowship there will be distance and masks.
Along with hot dogs, hamburgers and potato salad will be
hand washing and sanitizer. Laughter and fun might just be done at home watching the television and listening to the Star Spangle Banner over the radio.
There will definitely be a sigh of relief and hopefully a time to appreciate what good health is to have and what a great country we live in. Although at times many forget how lucky we are to live in a country that is about freedom.
For freedom is not just about being able to wake up in the morning and obtaining the things that you desire monetarily or choosing how you want to worship your God.
it is also about being able to embrace who you need to be and allowing yourself to choose your destiny. Within each of us is the gift of Spiritual freedom. This Gift is given to us in the non physical world and remains with us through our adventures into the physical. It can allow us success, happiness, even love. It may bring turmoil, disaster or lack of, depending on how we focus and what we attract to it. It is a gift given to everyone whether you are young, old, rich, poor, healthy or not.
This gift is what you learn from your time and experiences while on your journey here in the physical. It enhances your life when you live in gratitude for what you have and where you are in the moment.
It teaches you to love the best parts of you and allows the best in others. It brings you abundance and shows you the wealth in each living creature. Instead of judging others you see their beauty by the colors that encircle them, not the color of their skin.
This freedom is what comes from your heart and not the words of others. Trust in yourself and you attract trust from the Universe. Stay in the intention of love and you will attract the same in what you desire to have. Be free to be who you are without worrying, for worrying does not make things better, it just becomes an interference. Thoughts to your path are like cars on the road. It takes longer to get to the end of the street when there are road blocks. The world right now is a place of relocation and change. I have noticed and felt energy of fear, complication, anger and separation. People are confused, which is the natural order of change.
Change introduces the unknown, and the unknown brings on all different emotions. You are responsible for any and all reactions that you encounter. Remember who you are and what allows you to have your joy. Stay focused on that and deal with what comes your way in the moment. Complete your day knowing that you did what works best for you. If you embrace your Spiritual Freedom, you will find your garden at the end of the forest.
This is a time to be patient with yourself and with others.
Allow those around you to answer to changes the way that works best for them. Do not judge them for how their reacting to things, they may be living in grief, denial or even pain. However they react it belongs to them not you.
May you and your family enjoy all the freedom that is given to you.
Happy Independence day !
Please stay safe and wear a mask.
In joy
Dino
