Key Words:

… prison … prisoner … free … freedom … real self … key to unlock the real self … consciously free …

We are all in prison, only in various stages of trying to get free.

We are all locked within ourselves and therein lies the problem.

If you cannot define for yourself what freedom is, how then can you get free? If you have no goals, now maybe unreachable, you have no open door to your true freedom in life.

You are not free unless you have the golden key that unlocks you from yourself and from life itself.

Do you know this, or is it just a state, an unconscious condition, within which you barely survive as a real person who is self-chosen and self-active in most of what you do?

What does it mean to be free?

Until you can answer this question in realistic terms how can you know that you are free?

Until you know you are free, consciously, and with every pore of your being, you are a prisoner of your own daily life and inadequacies.

Picture for yourself what you could be doing that you are not doing now.

Picture for yourself what is the most purposeful thing you can be achieving with your life? And ask yourself why you are not doing just this?

Until this moment of truth between knowing what you are doing and what you are meant to be doing, you are not free.

Freedom is not walls with doors that open to the outside world, or windows that look out on desire.
Freedom is …
Freedom is choice to choose between that which keeps you unconscious, or that which makes you conscious of your real state of being and whether you have consciously chosen this state of being or not.

If you have not chosen consciously what you have and who you are, you are not free. You are a prisoner of your own fate, reactive rather than active, unconscious rather than conscious, purposeless rather than purposeful.

We are each locked in the prison of our own souls until we at last realize this and do what is necessary to free ourselves to be more than, and other than, our present unconscious selves.
