Mental Monday’s: The Freedom to become - an exerpt from Where are you going by Swami Muktananda
Money, love, I guess, for another person possessions, Fame. But we can actually have something richer and outside of those things, which is this deep knowledge of self and connecting with whatever you call the power outside of yourself that we are. I believe we are divinely connected to. So I don't know if this makes sense. And if it doesn't let me know. But that's what I got for you from Mental Mondays

Hi PK. I really love that you brought this in. It seems to be a really nice thread to a lot of the other discussions that you've brought in in the last several weeks over, you know, who we are and what our responsibility is versus being a victim of circumstance, I suppose which animals definitely are. And it's a hard question, though, do we have the freedom to be anything? I mean, I know that as a practical person, there are restrictions

If we all had the choice, the freedom to do so, wouldn't we all be billionaires? So there seems to be roadblocks and limitations in which what we can become. And those adages we were told as kids, I think that stems from the American dream sort of Pixie dust that we love to sprinkle in America because we have so many stories we can point to where people were rags to richest stories. Right

But even in the frontier, there's haves and have nots. It's the great unsatisfactory imbalance that must exist like people like, we are going to be rich. We can't all be rich. That's not how capitalism works. So someone quoted to me the other day, but, yeah, this is very, always very interesting. Having an amazing day and not too cold at any bus stops today. Peace

Not necessarily like you said, existentially. Not that it ultimately looks like a house, a car, this much money in your bank account. But you're connecting this with yourself and your own divinity within yourself and the divine outside of yourself is the becoming like that acknowledging the connection and maybe working on nurturing it not even work like something you have to do. But just that acknowledgement is making a deeper
Or did I seek my own pleasures in selfishness and ungodly pursuits that benefited no one. Humans have power. Oh, yes, scripture tells us. And God says in Genesis, it says, and God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have Dominion? Well, yes. And what is that image? It contains attributes of God with words. We have the power to heal with words. We have the power to build up the power to break down

Hello. Hello. And good night, Jerry. I have listened to your response at least three times, and the work day just got to be unbearable. So now I'm having a chance to respond. Thank you, sir. So much for that. That was really beautiful. That was a beautiful response. And I just completely vibe with that and the idea of becoming the right person. And if that feels right, that feels right as well
