Real Freedom cannot be defined, explained or mentalized, you just identify with IT. I am not talking here about the commonly defined freedom, the one you find in a dictionary, which has no meaning for the one who elevates his mind at the cosmic level. Yoga is the only tool to make you understand that freedom is something to be earned, and the living practice you perform is your work to accomplish IT. There are degrees of freedom according with the degree of resistance to Bliss, and our status as human beings has a certain range of freedom to play with, just enough to keep us alive. TY calls this limited human freedom "man's senso-tunnel", as you know. Expecting more freedom that you are allowed as a human being is unwise and dangerous for you. Gaining more freedom than you are entitle to can turn your human status around to a degree which, if not properly prepared, will certainly destroy you. And the same thing is valid for any living creature in the universe. We went very much overboard in this regard, making ourselves slaves of silly gadgets just to see our freedom going away and suffering plenty as a consequence! As of today we've turned into digital monkeys!
The social apparatus today is not able to offer you much freedom, in the contrary, is restricting your freedom with each passing day -- as we all see lately more and more. Human society is actually many times more coercive than Mother Nature, making us suffer if we don't submit to its rules (so many of them). That's why the modern human society is purposely distorting and pushing aside man's dying event. Because of this, from social perspective freedom is strictly related to the social life and nothing else. That's why we are not able to imagine any kind of freedom outside our human nature. In spite of this, the Real Freedom has nothing to do with our social life, and in order to obtain IT you must in fact get out of the social circle. But outside the social life your chance of survival is slim, and you will more likely die soon in total loneliness. So where is the real freedom to be found? The answer for this is Faith, Surrender, and Samadhi! ~ The Faith is making you look for a farther and Final Freedom to be accomplished, one going beyond the terrestrial coercive living. ~ The Surrender is turning your Faith in the envisioned Freedom into a permanent reality, giving you the freedom of not be (man that is)! ~ Samadhi is giving you the real experience of freedom above the social concept, making you see the Union residing beyond being and be-coming. *** I was looking for freedom all my life, without realizing the fact freedom is not something outside of me but rather inside of me. Everything is clear to me now, but my Surrender is still incomplete. My trust in IT has to turn infinite in order to achieve IT! I know now, as I said, but I am still separated from the Union of IT! As a state of mind, freedom is different for each being in existence. My vision of freedom is different from yours, but we are still the same. Do you see the miracle hidden here? If you do, you are free! If you don't, just work on IT.............IT will come! To be aware of All that IT is and willingly Be or Not, is to be free indeed...........for me as a TYogi! This has nothing to do with the religio-scientific masquerade of manmade gods, and doesn't have any clerical or scientific established label. This is IT! This is Yoga at the highest! So please try to realize IT and get free. Freedom is something to be one with, not to discuss IT of fight for IT!
Nobody can baby-sit you on this because nobody is you but you. Your T/S bubble is unique, and so should be your living work. Everybody has his own path, regardless which kind of living he/she is practicing: Yoga, TY, or any other possible to envision. A TYogi has to really assimilate this concept, a concept so much disregarded by the ones calling themselves yogis today! IT took me a lifetime to realize the beauty of this reality, and I am still wondering how can be done: Unique, different, and from the same! We are all looking for the Real Freedom in the same direction, but we accomplish IT in a different way according with our living skills for the time being. Through practice and amid results Yoga has developed throughout aeonic times different kind of paths according with every possible human karmic differences. I have picked Patanjali's Yoga because I am a very pragmatic kind of person. But there are many others out there waiting in the wings. JnanaYoga could be better for a scientist, due to his creative mind. KarmaYoga is better suited for an action type of man. BhaktiYoga is suited for religious kind of people. HathaYoga is for the physical exercise lovers. TantricYoga is for people who like to have power and make miracles, and so on and on. Even so, in the end you will still have your own developed Yoga path according with the very subtle aspect of your own living. But regardless of what kind of Yoga you practice, the final goal is the same: Freedom from any living encasement, from being boxed in! IT must be the same because we are all from the same, therefore in Union with the same! As you go along with TYoga practice your freedom is turning increasingly larger and larger. Your necessities, as well as your habitual attachments, are loosing their grip on your self, and you start constantly regaining more and more freedom accordingly. You will be-come more and more alien to your human being status, until you surrender the human status all together. Your freedom will enlarge then farther and farther until becomes infinitely present as a serene status of being.............nothing in particular, just an Aware Presence (Padma's LCA)! With this Final Goal accomplished, your Freedom turns wholesomely one with everyone, achieving the Union!
You have to really understand what I am trying to reveal here! As a human being encased into a bag of skin you are enslaved by numerous necessities like eating, drinking, breathing, sleeping, etc., and very many attachments like talking, dressing, schooling, driving, shopping, socializing, lodging, etc., as you already know. All this because of your inner-multitude giving you chores to be! When you depend on so many in order to be, you cannot be free! To be really free you should not be in any dependency -- not even of being. Please try to memorize this Axiomatic Truth! Unless you relieve your self of all those bonds, you can't be free! Period! That is why most of high end Yoga practicing is done in total seclusion. If you can take the burden of such a task you are a special human being. If you can't take the burden you are still special, but not ready for the task yet. Take IT or leave IT is the right approach in TY practicing. Any other way is just a compromise hanging your life in a limbo state.
Free you are indeed and blissfully so! What is next, you may ask? Well, if you are still asking you are not free yet! What I am trying to say is that the Final Freedom resides beyond the curse of T/S, therefore you must turn one with IT. And this is the main obstacle in front of the practice because is asking for your unconditional trust. Only the Golden Dust of Ananda has this beautiful trust, traveling free through you and everything else without leaving a memory trace behind. The scientists know of this Aware Energy traveling blissfully here-everywhere careless of the Abysmal obstacle put forward in front of ITs Blissful Power for the being to be. Once you have IT, the beautiful mindscape of being will be of all others deploying their living stunts in front of your LCA!
For many those are just written words coming out from a processing mind.
For some few this is a crisp and continuously present reality.
IT is the same mindscape of being, but at two different levels of freedom.
The choice, as you already know, is openly yours!
Be Free
Conclusion
Everything IT is germinates in the Mind!
IT
is a Mindscape, the content of Being. IT is not our Mind, IT is an Infinite Mind. The being is a dualistic bubble of T/S, which is Eternal. The T/S scatters the mind. Silencing the mind is the practice! You can call the practice Yoga, TY or something else, it won't matter, they are all transient illusions of the T/S living. What matters is your commitment to IT! Desire, Belief, Faith -- are all children of the Mind. Try to experience Samadhi and you will turn new. Don't cling on anything that is because IT is the same!
The Power of Being is just a reflection of
the beyond Sustaining Power.
And so is the Obstacle opposing the being power.
Realizing this makes you a Mirror of Compassion. When IT is not, the Being withdraws........going in retreat. Witnessing no more turns you IT, roaming Here-Everywhere at once as One in everyone. That's Freedom indeed!
