Doorway to Freedom
So often in listening to Osho he reminds us of the original
"fall" — the fall from the
womb. In the womb, the
child is in total relaxation, everything is done for the child including
breath. Once born, we as a child, are subject to those conditions outside of us
and that are outside of our control.
These conditions block the natural flow of who we are, and in turn block
our consciousness, which is our greatest gift. We become, over time, closed,
dull and sleepy, missing the joy of being present. The solutions lie in the
many "doors" on offer; we can use the chakras to move the energy in
our bodies or primal therapy, which works with these outer conditionings that
are imposed on the child, or hypnosis to open to the unconscious mind, and so
much more.
Regardless of the door that we use, the purpose is to open the body-mind
so that the energy, and our consciousness starts to flow in its natural state,
opening us to the love, awareness and creativity that is lying dormant within.
But this is how humans live: in dreams, in imagination, in projections.
This is how we live, and this is not the way to live this beautiful,
tremendously valuable life – this is sheer wastage. We have to become more
attentive to the moment, to the present. We have to gather our consciousness.
Consciousness is our treasure, and all the methods that have been invented,
devised down the centuries, are nothing but ways to create more consciousness
in us, to create more fire in us, to make our life a passionate affair, a
flame. People are living dull lives, people are living absent-mindedly, people
are living inattentively.
Our original state is
happiness and joy. We begin life with a blank slate, innocent and curious
it’s the perspective that allows us to experience life with an open mind. We
begin life as explorers. It is our nature to seek answers for the
unknown. This desire to investigate is what makes us excellent spiritual
explorers. All we need is the proper tools and guidance. We
are already perfect in all of our imperfections.
Happiness is the state of being which gives us
positive feelings such as joy, satisfaction, contentment, and
fulfillment. It’s essential to find out what exactly makes us happy and
why. We need to balance body, mind, and spirit to be
satisfied. Opening the doorway to true spiritual freedom is essential for
this equation.
Everyone has their way of awakening. And
each of us has spiritual gifts to aid in this quest. These are
gifts from our ancestors, which we carry in our spiritual DNA. We awaken
as we open these doors of consciousness. It requires autonomy and freedom
to explore our own inner world at our own pace.
The doorway to
true spiritual freedom lies outside the boundaries of organised
religion. It is not only a hindrance to our spiritual walk; it is a
stumbling block to the health of our societies. We should take up the
practice of spiritual techniques that expand our awareness. Don’t
fall for the counterfeit of organised religion.
