Liberation

My client and friend who has life in prison (one of the wisest souls I know) wanted to respond to last week's Awakin, but when I saw his response I thought WOW it is perfect for TODAYs! I also sent him today's article and question so he may have a deeper response. I wanted to share his response to Desire from last week here. That service space discussion on desire that was held this past Wednesday interested me. A spiritual teaching that has always resonated with me is When you desire nothing you have everything. When we get the inside right we need nothing external to us to make us feel better. There was a certain act of oppression that I encountered yesterday. I said to the guy I'd been talking with that I wasn't going to allow it to disturb my state. Another guy overheard me and asked, What state is that? I replied, a state of peace. Angrily he said, how the fuck can you be peaceful in fucking prison. Calmly I said, the only thing they can imprison is my body, my mind and spirit are free. His whole demeanor changed and he said, I like that, I'm going to go meditate on that. More and more I'm realizing that the only thing that I've ever needed to change is my own perception. When were vibrating at a high enough rate nothing external can disturb or allure us. Remember the old song that said, Free your mind and the rest will follow? How true that is. Have a great day JT!

"One of the wisest souls you know" should write his memoir. Encourage that, please, because there are so many prisoners who could benefit from it, along with the members of his family. I, too, have a friend serving a life sentence. While wise and good, I'm not sure how spiritual she is. Please contact me if your friend has something she can read. Thank you, Anthony

He is amazing. I have been capturing our correspondence for over a year and my hope (after I learn how to publish my books that I get to publish our back and forth communication). I have to say SS questions and literature REALLY brings out even more of his journey so I am thrilled about this! He is BESIDE himself happy to receive the Awakin literature. I told him I believe he should write a book and he is doing it effortlessly just with our email exchange. I hope he gives me the YES once I figure out the publishing process in my world so I can help him! Fun stuff and feel free to share with your friend anything. He loves to share!
