Awareness is the doorway to freedom

 Growing up, many injuries happened to us.  Even if these injuries are long passed, even if we are not willing to face them or think about them, they will resurface again and again and influence us without our awareness.

 

These injuries affect our life and destiny. Even if we are not willing to think about them, we cannot get away from these influences. Our career and financial matters will be influenced.  But we are not aware of this because we cannot pay attention to our psychological workings and don’t know how to let go of these injuries and obstacles, and don’t know how to free ourselves from these injuries for once and fore all. Awareness is the door for this freedom.

 

There is no love in our relationships.  These are some fights and quarrels, sometimes some demands, but all these cannot pacify our mind.  What we really need is love, the true love in our relationships.  This love is not the ordinary love people talk about. This kind of love I have in mind is magnificent.

 

You have to transcend these injuries so love can arise in your relationship.  To transcend these obstacles are not just by words, but by learning to face and learn in person.  If we are not living a life with learning, we are living a life with injuries.  My injuries plus your injuries, and we are entangled.  In the end, either we run away or compromise, we feel empty and painful.

 

There are only two ways left.  You can either fill your holes nonstop to escape your pain, transfer your goals and leave your pain behind, but in the end, you still need to face it; the other way is to simply, directly face and learn from your pain.  We only have two ways, you can choose.  Awareness is the doorway to freedom.
