Freedom Isn't What You Think

Today's contemplation is about Freedom, which is actualized by all four parts of the TUP working together, Body, Mind, Heart and Soul.

We're often told that freedom means doing whatever you want, whenever you want.

Sleep in. Quit the job. Say what you feel. Travel the world.

It sounds like liberation—but is it really?

Here's the thing: freedom without clarity is just another kind of prison.

You can do what you want—and still feel empty. You can leave everything behind—and still carry yourself with you. Real freedom isn't the absence of limits. It's the presence of purpose. Think of it this way: if you're floating with no direction, no anchor, no values, you're not free. You're lost.

How do we find purpose and clarity?

We recommend a balanced approach to life, and our highest clarity is communicated by the Soul element. The Soul is the "Being-part" of ourselves, and is always already in touch with the Highest, the Transcendent. This is the source of our clarity.

This clarity and its vision are our true home. When we are in touch with it, we may also experience a warm, expanded Love that radiates and motivates action. This is the Heart element doing its part.

How do we think about this clarity in practical terms? How can it guide our life? This is what the Mind element does. It receives the clarity and warmth, giving birth to concepts and directions for life.

Embraced by the Soul, receiving the cues from the Mind and the warmth from the Heart, the Body is energized to move — to serve and enact this clarity.

This unity in action never feels like a prison. It never feels like being lost. It may even feel like you are being lifted and carried by something wonderful. This is freedom.

So here's a practical question:

• What is your highest clarity?
• What do you want badly enough so that other things naturally work together for you?

That's the beginning of real freedom.

It's not a vacation photo op. And it's not loud.

But it's solid. And it lasts.
