A free soul

Freedom is paradoxical. It is innate and yet we have to claim it. In my opinion, very few people have realised innate freedom although many touch it, lean into it, have moments of bathing in it.

Another author, and my former lecturer in Buddhist studies refers to such moments as ‘The Hit’. They can come anywhere and at any time.

Once again paradoxically, there is no cause effect relationship, no technique that will guarantee a taste of freedom, a hit, but there are lots of technologies and techniques that seem to make it more likely.

I am sure that these are familiar to most of us, meditation, 3Principles, a walk in the park, taking a shower…

If seeing innate freedom is an accident, we can make ourselves more accident prone!

And that is hopeful, isn’t it!
