What needs to be understood.
Is your mind free and by free i mean not touched by any man-made doctrine.
Most of us are born into it and have no choice in the matter.
And any religion that is organised prevents, blocks out what is spiritual.
It's never ever the real. And the human does have a religious 'Mind'.
But like i say; it is blocked by man-made doctrine.
Which is always the past operating. And thought is the past also.
You have to stand alone which for some may seem scary but fear not.
But we have had this conditioning for 100s, 1000s of years.
To free your'self' from all this is real Freedom.
And you can only know yourself in the 'Now'.
Hey i know this ain't easy.
Thought has its place but let's face it; it never shuts the fuck up and that's our problem.
Attention is all and being 'aware' when thought butts in uninvited.
Thought is a Control merchant and has its place when needed.
Gurus tapping this market have profited big time.
A true wise man will never ask you to follow, never.
So you can do this on your own and for the rest of your life.
And this is real Freedom.
Do it walking in the street; use your eyes, ears , nose, without thought operating
as it usually judges, compares, all that mularky.
Same when talking to someone; give them respect by giving your full attention and not listening through your own noise or thoughts.
Get my drift. Follow nobody, nothing.
Then mind-body are one.
