True Freedom

True freedom is understood, felt, and cultivated from within.
It comes when you gain the ability to hold space for all of yourself, for all of your parts.

Growing up in a materialistic society, in a world driven by dopamine, I observe that the majority of people in my generation and onward think that freedom means having multiple choices:
what to eat,
where to go,
what to do,
who to date.

Even though that has its place and can be an expression of abundance, it can also become highly confusing. It may be a stage of someone’s journey to live in this frequency, but it doesn’t ultimately bring real, sustainable freedom.

There are studies that actually prove that we feel more stressed, that more cortisol runs through our veins, and that we become less regulated when we are faced with multiple choices instead of a few more aligned ones.

We are confusing this feeling of multiplicity, of diversity, with “freedom of choice.”

I have come to understand that freedom is ultimately a characteristic of the soul. We came here freely. We are free to choose who we want to be and what we want to do with our lives, from the soul’s perspective.

Nothing can remove the real freedom within us, but we can block the feeling of it by building inner jails that are mainly psychological, by becoming attached to elements that give us identity.

A truly free person is highly magnetic because they carry the energy that nobody can limit their perception of themselves. They are psychologically free.

Free from the need to prove themselves.
Free from performance.
Free from imposed duties.
Free to be or not to be.

They are free from who they used to be and from the burden of carrying old identities into the present. And they are also free from the pressure of becoming who they think they need to be, by relaxing into a sweet and deep acceptance of who they are in this moment.

From that acceptance, they also stop imposing pressure on others to be anyone they are not. They stop imposing expectations onto people.

We may still have desires about how people show up for us, but when that doesn’t happen, we are free from the burden of taking it personally. Free from the burden of confirming disempowering narratives. And free from the false need to educate, save, correct, defend ourselves, or prove a point to someone who is not actively open to receiving it.

At the end of the day, ultimate freedom is freedom from the ego that needs to prove itself right.

Because we become rooted in a deeper truth that is liberating by definition: the peace of knowing yourself already loved and supported by Source, whatever you choose to do with your life.

The compulsive need to consume a diversity of experiences in order to feel free starts dissolving there. And instead, you become more and more specific about your soul’s true callings.

The intensity of your enjoyment increases as you get to know yourself more deeply… and when you know that you are free to change your old ways, let old ideas die, and upgrade into a new version of yourself at any moment you choose.

Outer freedom, in the physical world, may indeed depend on many factors. But inner freedom begins with a decision: the decision to shift, and to embrace the divine right to express new aspects of yourself whenever you desire.
