Part 1 Where fear dominates, love cannot flourish; when love is shackled, freedom is too. Without freedom, transformation only furthers fragmentation; and the more divided we are, the more reasons we find to accept the tyranny of fear, blame, and doubt. Part 2 Until we are willing and able to put ourselves in the shoes of another, we have not yet stepped upon the true Upward Path.

All forms of psychological -- and ultimately, spiritual corruption is rooted in some imagined idea about the true nature of freedom; this aberration is a miscreation that gradually takes on a life of its own, metastasizing each time we resist the revelation that any sense of self derived from an imagined freedom makes us, at once, both a prisoner of that dream and its inherent suffering each...

No one has freedom of speech who -- for fear of being isolated, cast out, and left alone -- feels unable to speak the truth they would, or to question what they see as false...

Freedom is not something you find by fleeing from a negative state into the waiting arms of some better time to come. Real freedom is seeing that the whole idea of a "better time to come" can't exist without the unhappy nature that needs to imagine it... and then dare to drop both that tormented level of self -- and the time it lives in -- right on the spot.

Being "clever," or "strong" enough to escape unwanted moments is not the same as escaping the fearful nature within us that creates them. Freedom, real freedom, is not being able to successfully avoid the things we fear; rather, it is the moment-to-moment realization of a relationship with the whole of Life... wherein we can see that who we are, our True Self, has nothing to fear in this wor...

Nothing is wrong with desiring financial independence, but this kind of freedom isn't what you really want. What you really want is freedom from a self that torments you each time it compares itself to others it imagines are happier than you are because of what they possess. Truth be known, these people are possessed by a kind of spirit that can never be satisfied, as evidenced by the fa...

We know in our heart this life, as it is, isn't all there is. Knowing this fact has been a fuel that stirs us to seek something greater. But we get fooled. We accept substitutes for that Greater Life. Guy Finley explains one of the main limitations in our quest to know that new way of living. We don't understand we can't enter into that Greater Life through our own will. That Life is never-...

Starve a fear and feed your freedom...

Real life is fluid, its flow is freedom; thought is static, its nature is attachment.

No one finds freedom who doesn't first lose interest in trying to become someone "special."...

In our patience we discover not only the path to... but also the perfection of freedom.

The only way to exercise your spiritual right to be free is by a continuous effort to enter into, and understand, the nature of what keeps you captive.
