Dissolving the Barriers to Freedom

I once saw a beautiful picture of a person in prison holding the bars with gripped hands and with a fearful and worried look as if he was desperate to get out. Behind him, there was no back wall to the prison cell. It was simply open and what could be viewed was a magnificent vista of a vibrant, healthy, happy life. All it would take is for the person to let go of the bars of the cell and turn around and walk out into the expanse and wonder of Infinite possibilities. There was no one holding them inside the cell. They were simply looking in the wrong direction. They had turned to face the bars; had simply forgotten that freedom was directly there waiting for them to turn around. 

This is a wonderful analogy to the mechanics of the human condition. We hold on to certain ideas, judgments and beliefs, we hold to some very tightly until our knuckles are white through the grip on the cell bars. We bemoan our fate to the uncaring world, but we have forgotten that our prison was self imposed. No one put us there, we created it. For some this is hard to accept, but to accept this brings great opportunity to allow the fresh air of freedom to waft through the old cell. It brings with it the responsibility and desire to take action in life. For no one can do it for us. Only we can make the choice.

All true spiritual practices will move your attention from the self imposed bars of limitation to the wondrous expanse of your Being. This is beyond belief, it is an experience. It has been my experience that Ascension is the most simple, natural and effortless tool to gently turn the attention from the prison of ones limited mind and gravitate it towards the landscape of ones Consciousness. For it is precisely by becoming intimate with this simple experience that ones clarity, peace and happiness becomes enlivened. 

Really all that is required is to let go. Let go of what we think, let go of the attraction to the mind, let go of the bars and our attention will automatically move towards greater Happiness, greater Love, and greater peace. This is the beauty of the techniques of Ascension. It is an art, a very simple art. One thinks the technique and then we stay alert to the experience. By doing so, the mind rides the waves of eternity back to its source and fulfillment in heart, mind and body is experienced. 

In this state life becomes extremely user-friendly. It is as if our every pure desire is recognized by life and so begins to support and nourish our pure desire. For it is by allowing our greatest hearts desire to be recognized that the energy sprouts the necessary conditions for its completion. It is the simple mechanics of natural law. This is how life operates once one becomes intimate with the Source within.

So the first step is to be clear about what is important to you! What do you want? Be very clear about it and then be active in experiencing it. There is nothing more active than walking the path to freedom. Everything in life then, becomes an invitation; much like the Ishayas' Ascension that offers the keys to unlock the inner potential to everything.
