Sometimes you get used to a lifestyle where the house is open and you don’t go out because you have lost the concept of freedom. But sometimes you are so afraid of freedom that you can free yourself from any prison or chain. It all depends on the strength of your concept of freedom.
One thing you have to realize is that you have to tame your wild, crazy mind. Your mind has a very bad habit we call selfishness or “what about me?” It’s boring, it’s boring, no one wants to hear it, so you can just shut up and let it go, connect with people, give . You’ll be so busy giving that you won’t have time for yourself. You will be happier.
This is the moment of awakening for the people of Earth. Now is the time to wake up from madness, because the history of humanity is fundamentally the history of madness. But for the first time in the history of this madness, madness threatens to destroy us. So we’re going to come to an end one way or another. Either we destroy ourselves, or wake up from the dream, wake up from the nightmare. But seeing your own madness is the beginning of healing from madness, because everyone has not only madness but also sanity.

We are trained and conditioned from an early age to switch off our automatic responses, our real and necessary responses. We are told how we feel because no one knows how to communicate from the emotional realm.
The idea of shadows needs to be released, we need to go to the places that scare us, to go into the dark and befriend our demons. Wounds are key because we are all born with wounds. We are like “where am I”, “who am I”. “Why am I here”, “Where is he”, “Where is she”, so we keep re-inventing ourselves until we are at peace with loneliness and our own anger.
