Blunt Force Truth: There’s a huge difference between gaining freedom by escaping from something versus just being free. It’s all about your vibration. Because escaping something, which can still be a good thing, is basically pushing away from something unwanted. That still focuses the mind on what you don’t want. The subconscious automatically goes out and finds what you’re focused on so you see more of it. It’s best to focus on your higher vibrations then, isn’t it? From a place of inner not-giving-a-fuckness, embrace freedom to be free. Especially for those on the spiritual path, you’re going to increase your perceptory awareness and basically amplify this process. Meditation may be a great escape from stress, but it’s not an escape from it at all. It just prepares you to deal with it better. Know that if you ever feel separated or fragmented, or just worry about getting lost during meditation or other practices, your purpose is to be right here right now, and that means you can’t possibly be any less than whole and complete. Your work is here. Everything you ran from in the past may have had a way of coming back, but embracing your inner freedom releases you from your past. It releases you from ever having wanted to try escaping in the first place.
