"Destination Freedom"

I don't know about you but these days I often hear people
using the word 'enlightenment' as if it's a common
experience. According to Buddhism enlightenment is the
complete cessation of all sufferings and a permanent state
of peace and happiness.
Not many people there yet then!
Everyone wants more freedom. And as you know real freedom
comes from within. Our sense of the external reality around
us is strongly influenced by our internal 'maps' of reality.
From time to time we have certain thoughts that restrict our
sense of freedom. These thoughts are sometimes beliefs that
were formed earlier in our life and are now out of date!
Other times our thoughts are clouded by impaired perception.
One of the amazing facts about the time we find ourselves in
now is that there is an absolute abundance of methods,
techniques and tools available to us for re-modeling our
realities in a way that enables us to experience much more
freedom!
So as we find ourselves on this journey, this journey on the
road to freedom what changes start to arise in your minds
eye? Because even just a small change can generate new
feelings of freedom.
Have you ever seen one of those optical illusion drawings?
You know the ones where there is a picture and at first
glance you can just see one face. But as you continue
looking and change your focus ever so slightly you get a
surprise when another image in the picture appears!
You can relate this to your perspectives on things in your
life. New perspectives can be very powerful and you don't
necessarily need to view things from a radically different
viewpoint. Just a small shift in perspective can bring about
profound changes.
If you were to recall a recent situation where you would
have preferred to act in a more resourceful manner, could
you imagine reviewing the situation from a different
perspective? How about looking at it as if it were a movie.
And what new information would arise if you viewed it from
the perspective of a giant eagle? Or a field mouse? Or what
about from the viewpoint of a fly with it's one hundred eye
vision.
Give it a go because this kind of visualisation exercise can
free-up you creative mind and allow you to make new
realisations as your unconscious reveals previously hidden
information!
As you continue to use your mind more you build faith in
your own ability. And when that faith builds you find
yourself able to make the changes you desire more easily.
Your self-esteem begins to build and you will inspire others
with your new sense of freedom.
