You experience the great freedom in connecting yourself to the divine source of all things. And through spiritual exercises you make strong that connection in freedom and loving.

With the foundation of spiritual freedom, even in moments of stress, we can reflect back and see the humor in a situation.

Spiritual love permits greater freedom. Our most rewarding goal is to have freedom. Freedom of the spirit, of the mind, the emotions, the body and yes, even financial freedom. So we can walk the earth and not be trapped by it. And where we walk, people say, "Thank God you were here. Thank God you spread your sunshine and your laughter and your love with us."

Don't be anxious to be the teacher. Live your life to your own best advantage, and if other people gain from observing you, that's great. But you need not go outside of yourself in an attempt to make others see it your way. Allow them the freedom and the integrity of their own consciousness.

You must continually exercise your consciousness of living free, where you can choose whatever you choose, you can go wherever you go, and you can do whatever you do.

Living here and now is freedom.

Freedom is the ability to do those things that you know are right for you and are not based upon the judgments or restrictions of other people. Be true to yourself in spite of your personality, emotions, mind or physical mannerisms. They are tools to be used to communicate to the rest of the world. That greater part of you, your spiritual nature, communicates itself in spite of those other conditions.

One way to come into the moment is to move into meditation or prayer and hold your consciousness very, very steady. That enables you to move past the dominion of your fixations into freedom.

The very next person who we meet may have the key in his personality or actions to set us free. Their behavior may be very different from the rest of society, but they may be living in total freedom inside themselves. And as each one of us becomes free to listen and learn from each other, we can all become free of the restrictions, regulations and rules we run in our minds.

The Bible talks about how there's a season for this and a season for that, and you just participate in what season you care to and allow other people to participate the same way. In that you'll find freedom. In the Spirit you'll find liberation. And if that's all going to happen, we might just as well laugh and live in grace.
