How can we live in freedom?

jeri_devaleDear Brave Souls,

Mystics have talked for centuries about giving up your attachments to things to find freedom… like giving up the attachment to the way you think that life should be and instead focus on the beauty and the wonder of it as it is…to be in the now to be able to see the world without expectations…this takes a lot of practice……and what I have come to learn a great deal of faith in our connection to each other. We must feel this connection on a very deep level…and then we realize we are not alone, and our group consciousness can solve every problem if we work together for the highest good of all concerned. We must do spiritual exercises like meditation, but also do in addition to the more passive meditation…daily contemplation, and other active meditation throughout the day. I remember the film or book that said I never promised you a rose garden. However when we work together as spiritual beings with the same motive and intention to create peace, joy, well being and happiness and abundance to all life…any garden will be transformed into a rose garden. There are always thorns in a rose garden too..but they can just be reference points that more harmony in an area is needed. We must work together not as material objects and egos but as the spiritual beings we truly are. To do this we have to realize that who we are is a lot more than our thoughts and feelings and body…we must identify with who and what we really are a spiritual being connected to all life. A lot of emails along the way will talk about giving up our faulty belief systems that keep us stuck in greed and judgements that limit our life and create violence and conflict. The more we let go of our faulty belief systems the more we realize we are spiritual beings connected to each other…and start to feel this connection…this is the truth and power we are looking for. Power and prosperity and health and joy all reside in the power of unconditional love of ourselves and others coupled with the power of awareness. Governments will always fail and make mistake after mistake until they realize government itself is a spiritual being and it must serve the spiritual being with the attitude of looking out for the highest good of all concerned. They must stop living in ego and give up polarized thinking like who is right and who is wrong and stay focused on serving the whole in a way that is a win-win situation for everyone. Right now we have programs that serve the rich and the poor and the middle class is taking on the burden for everyone…without a strong and healthy middle class we will crumble…extremes in both parties serve the rich and the poor. Almost all religions talk about the middle way as being the healthiest way to stay in balance…extremism of any kind like terrorism causes nothing but violence and misery and absolutely no gain for anyone.
