Remaining Reveals Freedom

8/18/2019

 
“Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man!” 
is a line from one of my four year old granddaughter’s favorite books.

The gingerbread man cookie, although made to be eaten, runs away
from those who are trying to eat it. But finally, at the end of the story,
he is gobbled up.

When I first read this book to my sensitive granddaughter I wondered
if she would be upset by the ending. But she wasn’t.
It seems she understood the purpose of the gingerbread man cookie
was to be eaten.

The gingerbread man reminds me of us –
when we are out of touch with why we are here.

We run away when we don’t know our purpose is to remain.

We run away when we are bored or restless.

We run away when we are anxious, upset, stressed, fearful.

We run away to activity – any at all will do. Rather than remain and
feel our feelings we scroll through social media, write an email, pick up a book, project blame, call a  friend, get something to eat, go shopping, clean the house, 
organize a closet, watch a Youtube clip – run, run, run, run.

We look for something to do rather than just remain and allow the raw feelings of boredom, restlessness, unworthiness, anxiety, or fear to fully be felt 
without buying into a story about any of it … 

‘see’ what is on the other side of it all, so to speak … 
​
and then, from a place of peace, clarity and freedom, move.
​

We Realize Our Freedom When We Don't Run From What Is Here and Now

    It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
      Sri Nisargadatta     Maharaj

      Einstein said,
    "No problem can be solved 
      from the same
       level of consciousness
           that created it."
      
     

     
    To see new solutions
       we must see differently.
