Detachment and Inner Freedom

As transiting Saturn prepares to fully return on my astrological birthchart, greater life lessons come up to test my reserve to live in complete integrity to myself. Deeper levels of onion peeling, in particular to that associated with my identiy reveal themselves to be eliminated such that I can live more fully in the present, without the encumbrances of social expectations and attachments to material reality. Several days ago walking in the middle of times square I suddenly felt my heart open and realized that there was still a part of me attached to my identity of once being in the workforce of a high-paying banking job and the expectations that I was still carrying towards myself. Through momentary grieving, I was able to let that go and immeditately I was able to experience a deeper sense of Inner Freedom which enabled me to be able to appreciate all that life has presented me thus far in my own journey. It's all too common that we complain about life, but the paradox is, there really is nothing to complain about because the seed of the complaint lies solely in our misperception of ourselves and of our reality.

Expectations, whether they are from others, or self-imposed, keep us from truly living our essence and from seeing and experiencing life for what it is. It keeps us from therefore experiencing the deeper levels of Love, Gratitude and Reverence which is everything that we really exist, breathe, and live, for. It is the Heaven that many seek to bring on Earth, yet the truth is, Heaven is already on Earth. It merely requires an open, unbiased heart to know it.

To be in a state of detachment is to have no expectations, no attachments to outcome of events, circumstances, the way others treat us, for which we have little control. What we can control is our own reactions and perceptions to our outer reality. With this realization, true freedom is possible.

In service to true freedom... namaste....
