Already Free.

What do you think it will be like when you are finally liberated?
Think really hard about it. Then scratch that idea. Because that’s not it.
Got another idea?
Scratch that one too.
You can’t imagine liberation. Anything imagined is just thought, arising in the free expanse of what you already are.
Look at it now, that thought, that vision of liberation. Just notice it. In the simple act of noticing you are liberated.
Hello Alicia,
This is just a note to say that I enjoy your writings soooo much…Whenever I’m lost in all words and emotions I just read one of your short stories and it’s clear again!
Amazingly simple you point ‘it’ back, thank you!
Hello Susan,
You are very welcome!
I love it when the pointers are seen as just pointers. Isn’t it ironic that the pointer, itself, must be destroyed in the pointing?
Remember: “Being lost in all words and emotions” is still witnessed by you! So YOU cannot get lost in any of this. A feeling of being lost and overwhelmed is a result of a thought: “I am lost in words and emotions”. This thought simply appeared. It will probably arrive again. Just notice it. And if you are drawn to identify with it, notice that too. If judgment arises because of this, well notice that too! It’s all Okay and no feelings or thoughts need to be denied. Simply rest in the noticing.
YESS!! now that’s what I mean by your clearness..
Of course there’s nowhere to go or to get, everything unfolds and disappears by itself, this witness thing creeps in sometimes and seeing this creeping in is enough, I guess?
Yes, the noticing is all there is.
YOU are that noticing presence.
