The Aliveness of Freedom

Over a month ago a friend asked me, “What’s alive in you?” and immediately what came up was, “Freedom.”

How freedom moves internally – how freedom moves externally – and how it all works together so perfectly.

***************

When we try and control 'internally' we suffer because we’re unaware that freedom is the very nature of even our thoughts and feelings.

And when we try and control 'externally' we suffer because we’re unaware that freedom is the very nature of all others - as well as LIfe itself!

The understanding and honoring of Freedom internally and externally changes everything.

​***************

I’ve always felt very strongly that what works internally has to work externally - and that there is absolutely no difference between ‘spirituality’ and ‘politics’. I see them both as constructs we human beings have created to try and make sense of things – ‘internally and externally’.

And one way to collapse the contrived difference between the two and discover what is at the heart of both - the very nature of Life - is through a continued deepening understanding of – and love for – Freedom…. and all of its many radical implications.
​
Because regardless of whether we begin with 'external' freedom or 'internal' freedom if we continue our discovery we will discover them both.
