I Am (no-me: totally free is the ego only!!!)

[Guest guest]

To conceptualize on 'Absolute Freedom' is to understand the nature of Desire and

Fear!! Know that the desire and fear arise from ignorance!!!

 

To know the answer to " Why am I totally free? " , is to undertand " Who is not

free? Why am I not totally free? "

 

Always free, I am.

 

The problem occurs when the mind intercepts in thinking that 'I'm free' or 'I'm

not free...etc!!! " It is only the ego which thinks that it desires more than

just 'Liberation'.

 

" Liberation is the nature of the Self!! "

 

The self is always free.

 

Being attached to desire and fear (names and forms) is what creates all bondage!

 

If you think you are free,

You are free!!!

 

If you think you are bonded,

You are bonded!!

 

" Thinking makes it so...! "

What does " totally free " mean?

 

Yes I like that sentence, and I

like it because " I Am " *is* unreal,

and because it is something that

many don't get. So I like to see

that pointed out so directly.

 

The statement is from the " advanced "

teachings of Nisargadatta. There are

other teachings of his that seem to

contradtict the statement. Those

teachings are the elementary teachings.

 

To see the advanced teaches consult

*Prior to Consciousness* and

*Consciousness and the Absolute*.

 

For the elementary teachings consult

*I Am That*.
