Knowledge is the ultimate freedom

A friend and I have been working together and, as part of the work, we’ve been keeping track of the synchronicities  and manifestations we notice.  The more we notice them, the more they happen.  The more they happen, the more we know we are “in the flow.”  In the flow of the good that is coming our way, in the flow of everything we’re been dreaming about and hoping for all these years, yet haven’t attracted up until now because we’ve had a little too much resistance going on.  In the work I do, we uncover the layers of resistant thought that the mind is used to having.  Resistant thought is the only thing that ever keeps you from having what you want, from having a richer and fuller life.  It’s all related.

My friend Jeremy finds dimes and that signals to him he’s in the flow.  This month, one theme has been red Ford Mustang convertibles.    We take delight in spotting them and see them everywhere we go.  We’re both writers.  Lately, the books we’ve been reading keep echoeing what he’s been writing the past year.

We went to Unity of Melbourne Sunday and Rev. Felicia Searcy was the speaker.  She spoke on what he’d just recently written: having an environment to let creativity and soul qualities unfold. taking time for silence.  When she mentioned Leonardo Da Vinci, whom we discussed just the night before, we had to look at each other and grin.  The entire day was like that.

I love spending time with friends on the Path, talking about what’s going right in our lives, talking about what we want and why we want it.  Taking note of synchronicities and messages we receive from the Universe.  The more time I spend like that, the happier and easier my life flows.

Last night we turned the tv on and as part of the Oprah Winfrey Network’s Super Soul Sunday, we saw the end of an interview with Gloria Steinem who at 78 looks 60.  She has a full and meaningful life, and we related when she said she sometimes feels she would like more alone time.   Afterward, we saw the portrait film “Ram Dass, Fierce Grace.”   After Harvard expelled Richard Alpert for LSD experimentation in 1964, the former professor traveled to India and returned as Ram Dass. Now in his seventies, the author of Be Here Now continues to teach and inspire as he deals with the effects of a massive stroke. Follow one man’s journey from 1960s counterculture to the present as he transforms an unexpected illness into a call for grace. “The stroke caused me to lose faith, and it was a cold, cold place, and I suddenly realized it was fierce grace… that turned my life around.”

We’ve been talking about grace all week, and feeling free despite what most would call limitations.   Once you’ve touched that place deep inside of you and consciously connected with what I call the soul or God or the Universe or inner guidance, that to me is the same as resting in a loving parent’s arms and knowing I can do anything because I’ve got that behind me, It’s got my back.  And if that’s the case, there are no limitations.

That doesn’t mean ignore rules and get in trouble and you won’t go to jail or be locked up, it means as you listen to your inner guidance and follow the thought and action that intuitively feels the best, you will be guided to those thoughts and activities that attract happy circumstances and people and events to you.  The more you tap into and connect with inner guidance, the more meaningful and free your life becomes.  The more you listen to inner guidance, the less you are troubled by the worries of the world.  The more you’re in the world and not of it.

Ram Dass said, even though disabled by a stroke, he’s never been more at peace than he is now.  That’s a real free place to be.  We should all feel that free.
