Freedom from and Freedom to, is different

Nov 18
Father, did my shakti this morning since tonite cannot do. Also was thinking of doing same for Friday. Then I won't be tied down by meditation and can eat normal dinner time. Will do samyama in the evening before I sleep.

(Dec 16 - now doing that. Its great and I felt like its an off day instead of working day. Father, I have to admit, meditation is tough work)

I finally took the medicine cos don't want it to be wasted. And I managed to find the right timing for the pills interval. Before hatha, take tonic, after practice take raja pills and after shower take the bitter/spicy pill with honey. Our minds puts up load of resistance and once we decided to do, things just fell into place.

This morning while I was showering, I tot I have actually changed my life style. Waking up at 4am, daily exercise, morning shower, something that is not me at all. So, instead of judging that I didn't change, there is outer transformation. And now I find myself breathe watching when watching television. Yday evening, when my brother asked me to let him see his movie instead. I just concede. Went up to my room and do samyama, followed by reading, no drama at all. I think samyama really got something. Not an easy meditation to do, and results is subtle, but is there.

Raising the consciousness of people so that human society becomes a harmonious whole, a vast commune all around the world.
People meditate, people without guilt, people with great serenity, silence, people rejoicing, dancing, singing, people who have no desire to compete with anyone, people who have dropped the very idea that they are special and have to prove it by becoming the president of America people, people who are no longer suffering from any inferiority complex, so nobody wants to be superior, nobody brags about his greatness.

Soul
I want that.

Freedom from is always from the past and freedom for is always for the future.
Freedom for is a spiritual dimension because u r moving into the unknown and perhaps, one day, into the unknowable. It will give u wings.
Freedom from, at the most, can take away ur handcuffs. It is not necessarily beneficial - and the whole history is proof of it.

If u r demolishing ur old house, if u r intelligent, u should at least prepare a blueprint for the new house. It would be best if u prepare the new house before u demolish the old. Otherwise u will be without a house and then u will suffer - because it is better to be in the old house than to be without a house.

A reminder for me to get my website and ebook in place before I quit my corporate job. Not sure abt quitting. I don't mind doing 3 days.
This also same msg on the Retirement plan. Don't just focus on freedom from working, have to focus on freedom to do something, otherwise u will dwindle and lose ur sense. U must be prepared for what freedom is. U may know how to tear down the wall, but not know how to build.

Soul
A great reminder.

Basically u r free to choose, but once u choose, ur very choice brings a limitation. If u want to remain totally free, don't choose. That's where the teaching of choiceless awareness comes in. And that's the reason on why the insistence of the great masters just to be aware and not choose.

Suddenly tot that I too need to change in my new role as a writer. Instead of covering myself with security, controlling things to be in place, I now need to invest, to open up, to create. Its a different mode.
When I was working in corporate, I can blame the 'authority' if things doesn't goes well, cos I followed orders. I don't have the authority to change things.
But when I am writing, there is no blame if things doesn't work out. I also need to create things.
Suddenly I tot of P. She was happy to be freed from working. Her only plan for future was to be writing and renovated her office. But since no plan, there was nothing and she now a part timer in a training house. Actually no growth lah.

I am be focused on my plan to be a Transformational leader. Use my 3 of Diamond, instead of worry, be creative.

Viewing freedom as intrinsic to our being, we discover that our lives are what we make them. All doors are open, our choices are unlimited.
