The Call for inner Freedom
00:00:06 Speaker: So welcome, friends, to this awakening world where there's a real sense of new found understanding about our essential nature, what we are and this day marks two hundred and fifty years of the Declaration of Independence, a treatise that is based in unity, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's often helpful to to see the foundational intentionality of the distinct countries, actually, and how many countries are based on the same kind of principles of freedom and of unity. And also here, this country has this specific Declaration of the pursuit of happiness that is in its constitution. And we are all so blessed actually to be here at this moment of time, because there's also an increased understanding now that after exploring happiness in all pursuits in the outer world for happiness, whether that is actually, you know, within the material plane or you know that you are trying to, to find happiness in, or whether that is in the spiritual domain where you're trying to find your happiness in at some point, even though all these endeavors are valid and you know, you do do what you feel called to do. Do what motivates you. Do it. You know, pursue your own happiness, but also this growing understanding that there is something inside that is already happy, that is content, that is fulfilled, and to come to an understanding that this is also also similar. Actually, it's inherent in everyone, and it is something that has been largely forgotten, largely unknown, largely hidden, similar to to your heart beat or to the subconscious, you know, something that is actually already there all the time, but you're not really aware of it. And it is this, this, this deepening clarity and this awakening to the fact that something in you exists that is already fulfilled and that you are recovery of that, or your awakening to that, or your remembrance of that actually allows you to be happy with what is with life as it is, and the awakening that is experienced by so many people that are starting to be interested, that are starting to know, wow, I can awaken to myself as awareness or consciousness. This is this is massively opening for so many people again, that this is a possibility. And also the knowing there is something inside that is intrinsically fulfilled, independent of circumstantial reality, independent of where you are situated or located, what what you do in your life. You know, there's just this, this contentment that that is usually unknown and that is then sought after in some, you know, in all sorts of different pursuits until this pursuit turns inwards towards knowing yourself again as consciousness, as awareness. And from this realization or recognition, you know, it's just a different a different form of happiness that is then known to be already here. Different form of bliss erupting in your life, not causally, you know, often without these causes or for, you know, very, very, very mundane, stupid reasons. But it's just present. And also this quiet contentment that is so, you know, so unknown to the mind and the mind's stipulation. And so this is, this is such a beautiful Call again. All these very treasured, beautiful values that we can, um, that we can, you know, show up as already as the person's obviously, you know, unity, fraternity, um, liberty life honoring life, you know, that's awesome declaration of independence to just honor life. All life, you know, all beings honor that life in others, you know, and then also that this pursuit of happiness is no longer externally focused but known to be what you actually are. So you are free. You are eternally free. As pure awareness, you are eternally free from anything and everything that arises. You are content and happy and fulfilled by itself. It isn't something again that the person tries. Usually we have this trying. Trying to be content, trying to be happy, trying to be free, trying to be this or that. But it is just this remembrance of this intrinsic happiness. That's just what you are. That then shifts your complete vision, your complete life. Your complete expression is infused by that naturally. And then everything can add on to it. But it isn't, you know, you're not seeking, you know, no longer needing for anything else than what is And so this is a great time of this great inner call. And it is massively, I feel massively supported by this great, um, jubilee that the United States also have this, this reminding of this declaration of independence of the courage actually also also like looking back, the courage of these pioneers, you know, that came and, and, and went westward and settled in this country, and declared their independence, and came together as these thirteen different States, and at that time, and consolidated those rights actually, that that are still the Constitution of the United States. And then, you know, always to see this, how difficult it must have been for them at that time, you know, how, but also how courageous those people were and how what kind of spirit is actually also behind it, you know, what kind of motivation was behind it. And then to see this, this new kind of revolutionary movement, almost, you know, to start understanding wow there is, there is again, uh, something that not many people have actually, you know, pioneered to it, which is inside, which is the happiness and the freedom that's inherent, that is already your nature, that is waiting for you to discover it. And then also the same kind of spirit that was there two hundred and fifty years ago. Possibility. You can realize this. You know, it's not just this sudden event that happens. It is coming from a discrimination of what you are not. It is also a process. You know, there is also a process involved of detaching from what has falsely been identified with. So it isn't this, you know, this sudden thing that suddenly happens. Did it happen to some individuals? Yes it did. Also suddenly, you know, but it can also be that more and more people just start to see the possibility and start to understand what they are. Start to investigate. Start to remember, start to discriminate. And meditation also becomes, you know, many people are so, um, uh, appalled by meditation or meditation seems like this, this truly effortful, uh, kind of endeavor that not many people are usually interested in. But if. If you understand meditation as a possibility to see reality, to see, to come, to know your true self, to start to see the world, the mind opening, you know, to a larger expanse than you ever thought is possible. That is just not possible from the from the personal view. If you start to understand meditation in that way, you start to understand meditation as a means to stay with the self and to look at what is arising as a means of inner freedom, of detachment, of coming to know yourself again, of finding something that's inherently at peace, at rest, happy then meditation has suddenly a completely different, different kind of pull to it. Hopefully, hopefully for you also, you know. So this is this is a great time for us all. And this is an, an inner calling that that is again, for many, many hearts to awaken, to come to know again what they are to, to, and with that also to shift collective consciousness because you are that universal consciousness, you know, and as you no longer find yourself entrapped. In these brutally, you know, uh, unhelpful programs often times or conditionings or roles or, you know, sense of selves, beliefs, assumptions, and something, something greater can finally shine again through your heart, through your expression into this life. It's very powerful, you know, just, just so it's so nice to, to, to, to have this jubilee in this year and to think back of the spirit that was there here in this country and is still there. And also to, to, to, to see where are we with these, with these intrinsic values that are also pointing you towards those values inside the freedom, the liberty inside. That which exists inside is existence itself. That happiness inside. So this is for everyone who is celebrating I wish you a beautiful Fourth of July. And for all those in the other countries it's also very interesting to to find out, you know, what is the core, the core values, the core declaration, the core, uh, treaties, the core, um, ideas on which your country or wherever you're residing right now is founded upon to see that. What was the orientation? What was the intentionality? And then to see where we are at two hundred and fifty years later with, you know, taking these, these, these, these values for further exploring consciousness now no longer as outside of yourself, but as what you are. Remembering yourself AS that freedom. Namaste. And happy fourth of July.
