Freedom

Beneath our personalities and identities, our essence is pure awareness. Since we can’t be both the awareness and that which we’re aware of, we can’t be our body, mind or anything else we perceive. This is important because how we feel is based on who we think we are. If the image we’re identified with is threatened, we suffer. When our perspective shifts to the part of ourselves that’s pure awareness, there’s nothing to feel threatened by because we’re just a witness to what is. When we don’t identify with names, pedigrees and labels… 

We’re free.
