Freedom (June 1991)

Expansion of Consciousness or Spirituality is realized not through forcing or attempting to reach, acquire and attain idealized conceptual goals of increased awareness and fulfillment.

Consciousness is able to unfold through the willing action of continual opening, surrendering, releasing and letting go of the illusory parameters of any self-definition.

This process of expansion requires an ongoing, sincere effort of renouncing the sometimes alluring sense of comfort we may have found in an established identity, so that progressive unfolding of the innate potential can continue. This willingness to remain open allows for unlimited growth or expansion of Consciousness and eventual freedom.

It is equally important that we recognize the potential for continual growth in others, being sure to release any fixed concepts we might harbor about them – never projecting limitation onto them, but remaining open to and supportive of their ultimate resolution as whole beings.
