The illusion of separateness

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.” – Albert Einstein

Waking up

“Wake up o man, at least now, wake up. Consider this whole creation as a mere dream. This world is like a flower in bloom; as you watch it, it wilts right before your eyes. Why are you so attached to it?” ~ Brahmananda

Freedom is a choice

Freedom is a choice
Freedom is a choice

One of the greatest gifts I have found on my journey so far is that of freedom, true inner freedom. I say gift because it is one we all have innately yet so many of us fail to acknowledge it, it can sometimes take a journey of realisation to do so.

This is what happened to me after too many years of living in a place where I’d felt trapped both inwardly and outwardly, now I know this truth and I see it very clearly so much so I had forgotten how so many don’t.

After having this recent insight I felt passionately about sharing it with you to always remember your freedom of choice. To remember you are innately free by the freedom to choose, no matter what. I really do believe it can be this simple, as simple as a choice. None of us are prisoners and even if you are in the external sense, you still have the freedom of choice in what you believe, and in what you perceive things to mean for you and your life.

Choice is our greatest gift and the biggest illusion is in believing that we do not have a choice.

I find it shocking now when I see what some people will accept and in effect to  choose to suffer because they are in this illusion that they do not have a choice, when they really do. If you are suffering in a job, relationship or any circumstance you always have a choice. Always head towards your joy.

As Joseph Campbell stated;

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls.

There is so much truth in his words and doors really do open up before you when you make a choice to follow your bliss.

When we only look externally or at the conditions we may be in, it can appear that we are trapped in some way, but there is always a choice even if only in how we choose to perceive it and this alone can change everything.

The greatest choice I believe is that of either love or fear, one on which everything can be based. In reality we are all free, we only need to choose it for it to be realised.

Your choices are the real gifts you contain;

To create a life of real beauty or pain.

~ M. L Adams

Beyond Position

There’s no right or wrong, Only positions,

Where there’s a choice beyond this; Aim higher above,

In transcendence, non- attachment, With purpose in compassion

Coming from love, beauty, understanding

Seeing all as one; only in love

~ M.L Adams

In everything

I’m everywhere, so are you,
There is nothing in the world that we can’t do,

All that is exists as one,
You only need focus on what you want to become,

In everything, in all you do
Simply be as you are, so beautiful and true ,

Living in love, with all of life
In rhythm and heart,
Simply fall in love; become all you are

Let go of seeking,
There’s no need anymore,
In the here and now; you are all that is, you are in everything

~ M. L Adams

The truth underneath

I didn’t see, I didn’t know
How could I see,
With eyes so tightly closed,
Blinded by falsehood,
Not knowing the only truth,
In that which was always here,
The existence underneath

In thanking you so,
My eyes fill with tears,
What a beautiful thing,
All that is right here
What a beautiful journey
To become all that’s here,
In truth, in all that is; in all existence underneath

~ M. L Adams
