The Wanting of Freedom Is Pretend Bondage -12 Feb. 2015

Who wants Freedom? The arm went up there. Good, good, good. What is this Freedom that you want? What is this Freedom that you want?

You see, I was so clear I wanted it. Now you're working hard to try and figure out what it is you want. I think actually, it's now that I went like that, I guess it's... it's just ideas actually.

Yes, yes, yes. There's no substance. It's just an idea. The wanting of freedom is not freedom. Freedom is here. The wanting of freedom is pretend bondage. It's just like we are standing here, we are sitting here, and then we pretend there's a jail around us. There are these iron bars around us and we keep pretending that there is some bondage around us. We say, 'I want to break free, break free.' When they say, 'Show me the bars,' oh, where are they? Where are they? There are none.

So in this now, in this present moment, there is not even the wanting of freedom. Freedom just is. If it's just an idea like this, then it's just these make-believe walls of this prison. Nobody can show me any bondage in this moment. All bondage comes from ideas. It is like this. All bondage only comes from ideas.

I'll put my hand down.
