Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

real freedom

Immutable freedom can't be lost though we can forget to notice its presence. How do we not see the vast freedom that is at the core of who we are? Simply stated, we lose sight of what is nearest and dearest when we attach to some particular view, or to some 'special' person or thing.

How do we avoid the suffering that comes with the habit of attaching? Ultimately the only way to stand free of attachment is to accept whatever is happening in this present moment. When we accept what is happening (whether 'good' or 'bad') we lose individual definition; then freedom dawns immediately.

There is nothing to do and nothing to achieve There is no need to even stop doing. Just notice what is happening right now and see that it is already free of 'you'.

so simple,
bob
