Liberation

Liberation refers to the process of freeing someone from another's control. Synonyms of the word ‘liberate’ are emancipate, free and release. While these words mean ‘to set loose from restraint or constraint’, ‘liberate’ stresses on the resulting state of liberty.

Liberty is freedom from limits on thought or behaviour. When we describe someone as liberated, we mean that they do not accept society's traditional values or restrictions on behaviour. It is about feeling free and being able to behave as you like.

Essentially it is about the shift in paradigm. In the first stage of Illusion, we believe that problems originate externally. By thinking thus, we empower what’s out there to control us. Putting the onus on others and external factors chains us to those very problems.

From victimhood, we must wake up to taking responsibility of our lives and the choices we make. The truth may be unpleasant but it is better than living a lie of illusion. We start seeing things logically and find ways to cope and be liberated.

We constantly evolve with new levels of liberation awaiting us. When we escape one box, we find ourselves in another one. The box eventually is in our mind conditioned by prejudices and fears. Stepping out of such consecutive boxes will lead to liberation.

Don’t get chained by constraints of the situation

The limiting box must be undone for liberation!
