Freedom and Spirituality

Listening to Your Inner Wisdom

“Listen to your own heart and soul, there you might find some answers”.

Freedom In Spirituality 

This is not a factual piece of writing, but a desire to share my thoughts and feelings to start an open conversation on the subject of freedom in spirituality. I have not read every spiritual or religious book, nor do I understand every point of view. I have decided to listen to what is already speaking to me at this moment in my journey.  

Lost In The City 

The largest, most westernised cities seem to be the most lost, consumed by consumerism and the shallow desires of the ego, not fully understanding why these needs often take over. It’s the endless need for man to control that keeps people from waking up to their true potential and freedom to go inwards. We develop addictions and habitual behavioural patterns to handle our complex feelings and human desires, none of which we fully understand. Every human emotion is beautiful, but to reach our potential, we have to dig deep and be open to discoveries, waiting to be unlocked, with a key we keep safely stored in our hearts. Surrendering to what’s there waiting to be discovered, beyond the layers of suffering and disconnection. Once we understand what’s keeping us asleep, we can wake to the true beauty of nature and the universe. Love.

The most spiritual and beautiful places in the world, where the space is enlightened, high up in the mountains, by the ocean or in the depths of nature, there it is, the place you feel most connected to your soul. It’s a place on earth that is ready to become conscious, if not already conscious or having lost its purity. Why is it that people are left to struggle and live a life of restriction, when life could be so much more?

That Which Floats Amongst The Stars 

I believe that what exists both here and there is welcoming and accepting to all of those who wake, and we don’t go there physically but energetically. A purely energetic place, vast and never-ending, forever expanding, nurturing all the senses in perfect harmony. That which floats amongst the stars, accepting and welcoming to every being who wakes, buzzing at the perfect frequency, in complete alignment with our individual and collective bliss. A place where we can float and dance to the music shared within our hearts.  If we let go of that logic and surrender to what’s within, maybe we can start to discover something that we otherwise made invisible.

Enlightened Spaces 

 There’s a beautiful place to find within us and all around us. We can visit anytime we truly desire, but we can only go there fully when we have completed our journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. Achieved when open to discoveries, letting the path unfold with a pure desire to see and feel beauty in simplicity.

A space free from preconceptions and judgements passed on from previous generations. Beliefs must not be dismissed as they may or may not be truths of this time, but of a time in space where someone woke up to tell their story, before words were tampered with over time, leaving us forever wondering, unless gifted with blind faith.

Are We ALL Spiritual Beings?

If we can close our eyes and still see the moon, the stars and the ocean, that in itself should give us a sense of spiritual freedom to look inwards.

Are we all healers, musicians and spiritual beings, on the road to discovering our true form? Brought here to learn empathy and understanding of all beings, so that we can go back to the light from which we came. Only to do it all over again, but better every time, ultimately rising us to that conscious, enlightened space we truly desire, moving us in circles, in our search for truth or meaning. 

Maybe we are all spiritual beings with our own religion, that which resonates with our unique heart and soul, each a piece of the puzzle to what makes us universally connected. Perhaps we are primarily the same, but the frequency with which we belong is always ever so slightly different. Blindly searching sensorially for that which gives our life meaning individually and collectively. Searching through darkness to find that perfect balance of bliss.

 Are we forever growing and expanding our minds, in preparation to reach that internal and external space that eventually takes us to a special harmonic place? A certain level of understanding can start to awaken inside us when we listen to our heart and mind in perfect unison, letting go of the fear that weighs us down and prevents us from growing faster.  

Everything Moves In Waves 

Everything seems to be moving in circles, every time the same but ever so slightly different. Ever changing, like the moon and the tides, always the same but different. Sometimes the ocean is flat, and sometimes it moves in waves. We also move differently, vibrating at our own individual frequency, yet infinitely connected. What better gift than to learn to embrace that? Embrace what’s truly there under the surface, letting it flow through you. This is not a journey of denial and suppression, but quite the opposite, isn’t it?

We walk the earth making strange encounters with people that we don’t yet understand, each one teaching us something we have not yet understood. While on this exciting journey to self-knowledge, we are scared to go deeper, to truly understand this mystery, for fear of our death being the end, or worse, for fear of living. 

Everything is relative, and new things are always waiting to be discovered, only to be undiscovered again with a discovery. This circle is forever unfolding toward that which is ever changing, yet its roots are always the same. 

Awakening

Why are we still sleeping when we know that life is more than what we perceive? When we wake up to the vastness of the universe and spirituality, such spirituality has to be on a different vibration than this endless book of rules and political divisions between people. Divisions that are causing unnecessary destruction to humanity and our planet. Keeping consciousness at bay because of a deep desire to control.

 Questions could be never-ending, but what is alive in all of us is that perfect balance of bliss, which can be discovered briefly for a moment but takes generations to truly understand. If we do not reach that in this lifetime, then maybe we travel back through the light and land in another body, that we accept for all its flaws, to take with us on another rollercoaster of a journey. A brand new adventure. The gift of life.

Oneness

‘As everyone’s perception differs, there are many gaps in our universal understanding. I try to see the truth in every belief, as if it’s a truth to many, who are we to deny that? We are nobody and everybody, without knowing all of the answers. Spiritual and religious teachings are not short of beautiful at their core, passed on for generations, ingrained in our psyche, holding a special place in the hearts and souls of believers. That to me makes them all of value and truth, if only to give some meaning to those who believe in them. I respect everyone’s right to their belief and faith, but I’m convinced that what’s there is so much more than we perceive.’  Bridges built between humanity are only holding us back from reaching our true potential.    

Surrender to the silence within and listen, really listen. There, we might find more answers.
