“Paradise is not somewhere that you need a map to reach. You are in paradise, you have only fallen asleep. All that is needed is an awakening.” -Osho
Jafree Ozwald – We all live in cages of some type, shape or form. When we feel disconnected from our spiritual nature, anything or anyone can feel like a prison. Perhaps our spouse, a close personal friend, our physical body, financial situation, emotions, or even our own reactionary behaviors in life can make us feel trapped. The good news is that whatever cage that you are locked up in actually has a key. That key is sitting there, resting inside the lock, ready to be turned when you have had enough suffering and are ready to set your spirit free once again.
Turning your key begins with understanding a few basic principles about what real freedom is, and what it is not. Being totally wild and absolutely free is not some radical, rebellious, or disrespectful approach to life. It is also not about conquering some authority “out there” in the world, ripping into someone who tells us how we should and shouldn’t live our lives. We don’t need permission from someone else to be, do and create whatever we want. Real liberation in life is not a freedom from someone or from something. It is more about finding freedom FOR someone or FOR something that inspires our lives deeply.
Real freedom is about recognizing how you already are the final word and ultimate authority of your life. It is knowing that what you believe is what becomes real, and this is your truth and final reality. There are 7 billion realities on the planet now and you are one of them. The moment we choose to believe we are some wildly fun and free being, is the exact same moment that we just realized that we already are the absolute final authority of our lives.
The greatest realization is a gentle knowing that the only real prison in life, is the one created within our own mind. We may not see the walls because we are so used to them. These invisible prison walls are the limiting, skeptical, doubtful, and negative beliefs within our minds. It’s comprised of a list of ideas which we tell ourselves is possible and impossible.
We are already constantly manifesting everything in our lives. Wherever we place our attention for a long period of time, is where our energy flows and what we manifest. We are already the great God source, creating everything around us. Our greatest joy is merely a matter of understanding how everything is an extension of our consciousness and nothing and no one is separate from it. From this deep spiritual truth, it becomes obvious how the human mind has been imprisoning us all this time, blocking us from living the amazing life we were born to live.
“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” ~ Dalai Lama
How to give yourself permission to be totally wild and absolutely free starts with letting go of every one of those personal truths which you cling to, that make you feel not so free. Those negative thoughts and beliefs which honestly feel true and real, yet also make you feel sick, stuck, heavy, unhappy and like you’re locked up in some sad dark prison cell. Your beliefs are the only things stopping you from your freedom. This may sound ridiculously simple, yet when you reach down into the core of you, you’ll find that this truth is all there is. When you want to manifest the life you want, it just doesn’t get any simpler than this.
We must stop being attached to all beliefs, ideas and thoughts if we really want to be free. We must step back from every good and bad belief we grew up with about who we are and who we are not. We must leave behind all of our disappointments, hopes and fears if we want to truly start living and stop dying. We must decide to live as if everything could end tomorrow, and also live an eternal spiritual being knowing nothing can ever kill us. This time is your life, so live it to the max. You don’t know exactly how long you’re going to be around. The Universe has given you a mouth to smile with, and a body to enjoy. Don’t waste your time here, go live your life totally and truly.
Right now, try to feel what it’s like to have full permission to be freed from the good and bad opinions of others for one week. How does it feel in your body to be honestly free from everyone’s judgments of you? This is one of the most self loving, natural and honorable ways we can live each day. This is the golden key that turns the lock to realizing at the core, who and what we are is already a powerful, divine and magnificent spiritual being. This spirit and soul who we truly are in essence is already always free.
When we know our basic spiritual nature, we can feel that the essence of our spirit is something that cannot be contained, imprisoned, nor taken away by anything or anyone in the outer world. Realizing this is real freedom, and this spiritually free feeling is our natural state of being. All exploration and expression from this place is the most loving act we can give to ourselves and others. The full expression of our real spiritual nature is the deepest gift we can give, as it is the greatest honoring of who we truly are.
You may think that becoming a wildly liberated human being might not be something at the top of your to-do list this week, yet if it’s not in there somewhere, you definitively aren’t going to enjoy doing anything on your to-do list. Without wildness, your entire life will become a chore, a burden, or heavy job that must be accomplished just so that you get your wants and needs met. If you don’t stop to turn your key to finding spiritual freedom, you will miss out on the main core purpose of your life. Which is to enjoy the short time you are here and alive.
“It is only by experiencing truth on your own freedom happens. Freedom is the fragrance of the experience of truth.” – Osho
The basic step to total freedom is to continuously let go of what others think of you. This means releasing what you think your immediate friends, family, coworkers, and lovers think about you. You honestly don’t know what goes on in their mind, yet when you drop what you think their opinions are of you, you can drop what your opinions are of you. As long as you are attached to what they think about you, you’ll never be free from what you think about you.
The mind is always judging, comparing and labeling something or someone, then changing it’s mind again and again. When you totally let go of what others think of you, it means you are free to think and believe whatever you want to think about YOU. This is the greatest freedom there is! So step back from your thoughts, they are all borrowed ideas from other people anyway.
Deep down, this life is more humorous and ironic than we realize. We are creating all of our suffering and our joys everyday. All along this lifelong journey, at the very core of our being is a river of perpetual loving creative energy, overflowing with deep healing peace. We don’t have to go anywhere to find it. All we simply need to do is sit, become deeply relaxed in the body and let the mind not cling to any thought that arises. It may take some time to relax with the mind, be cling free and at peace. Yet, doing so you will find your spiritual nature. There is nothing more important that you should be doing with your life.
The more often you practice being at peace with what arises in the mind, the easier it becomes to experience every “ordinary” thing in life as Divine. God follows us wherever we go. Whenever the mind clings to something extra important or special, notice this with awareness and don’t push it away. Don’t label anything as bad, wrong or a problem. If you do, this in itself will become what’s blocking you from feeling an enlightened liberated state. Just welcome all thoughts with the greatest curiosity, and see what is beneath each one. You’ll see there is nothing there. Each thought is recycled information that we shouldn’t take personally at all.
If you want to get down to the core of you, ask yourself what hole inside you are you trying to fill? Where are you empty inside and why? Make this an enlightening exercise that gently opens the door to your soul. When you discover where you feel empty, you’ll see why you’re clinging to those things that you cannot let go of. This awareness and understanding is the most important next step of your wild journey coming ahead.
The real battle is won when we see that there are no real enemies out there. The only enemy is an imaginary ones within our own mind. When we discover our connection to our spiritual nature, we see that every single human being is a soul and spiritual gift to our lives as well. From this place, every person we encounter becomes the source of more love, joy and deeper inner peace. When we give ourselves permission to be spiritually connected, we truly become wild and free. We stop avoiding others and resisting letting in more love. We start embracing who and what we all actually are. As a spiritual being, there is nobody to fight with or against anymore.
The more we practice living in this spiritual connection, the better it feels and the more real it becomes. When we live 24 hours a day knowing we are a spiritual being that will never die, we will stop suffering completely. The fight will end with others and within ourselves. We then realize that we are the ultimate authority of our reality and be able to create heaven any moment we want on this Earth. This realization is the sacred path to our enlightenment, and finding our inner wildness within is the bridge back to our spiritual essence because our spiritual nature is wild, free and untamable. Expressing this awakens us from the almighty ego trip we were on, so that we can gently hold ourselves in the most loving healing light every moment of the day.
