Looking Beyond the Physical for True Freedom

Most of us have experienced moments in life that felt like a profound release—whether a long Greyhound bus trip to a foreign land or the exhilaration of skydiving. While these experiences can bring moments of liberation, they often don't fully address the deeper, more profound freedom we seek. True freedom is not just about what actions we take, but about understanding and making changes within ourselves.

Physical Freedom vs. Inner Liberation

When we talk about freedom, we often think of physical actions. Taking a long Greyhound bus trip can help us escape from the monotony of daily life or break free from a draining relationship. Skydiving offers a thrilling burst of independence and a release from earthly worries. While these experiences are undoubtedly liberating, they don't tap into the underlying emotional and psychological baggage that drags us down.

The Deeper Layers of Our Being

Although we can achieve some degree of freedom through physical actions, true liberation lies within. Our physical existence is just one layer of our being. Thousands, millions, even billions of impressions, opinions, beliefs, and fears have been programmed into us from a young age. These form a dense layer of artificial personality and reactions that we often assume to be the core of our identity.

Merely doing what seems to bring freedom won't suffice. True freedom comes from understanding and transforming the layers of the unconscious mind that shape us. The process of realizing and removing these layers is akin to scientific inquiry—objective, fearless, and empowering.

The Journey of Self-Realization

To initiate this journey, one must start by observing one's reactions without judgment. It's crucial not to label thoughts and fears as good or bad, but to simply observe them.

This practice helps you become aware of your true nature. You don't need a guru, a teacher, or any external authority to guide this journey. Within each of us lies the potential for self-realization, and it begins with this simple, continuous practice of awareness.

A Wake-Up Call: The Process of Awakening

This process of awakening is gradual and non-predictable. It shifts our perceived self dramatically, but in a way that is utterly ordinary and natural. It's a process of maturation rather than a quest for an end goal.

To explore this path, I recommend watching Simply Always Awake on YouTube. Angelo's teachings offer a clear and accessible guide through the process of liberating oneself from the subconscious programming that often limits us.

Embracing the Process

In conclusion, the journey to freedom isn't just about doing things to escape or change your circumstances. It's about knowing yourself deeply. True freedom comes from unlocking the layers of our subconscious mind and allowing the authentic self to emerge. Begin with observation without judgment, and embrace the process without expectation. You may not know exactly where it will lead, but the journey itself is the liberation you seek.
