Freedom

Prisoners bound with heavy chains for years, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted and with eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made free. It takes them a while to understand what freedom is.
(A Course in Miracles)

You are already free my friend, yet you know it not. The first step into freedom is understanding that the monsters you perceive are not real. It is like going into a virtual reality horror show: the monsters, ghosts and zombies are scary enough, yet, when you step up to the  monster and say, " Hey you, I challenge you, why don't you try to touch me", you will find that it cannot deliver. At this moment you are free and the monsters you perceive now will never bother you again.
