Achieving Christ-Consciousness

[Night Owl]

So where is true knowledge found?

I've seen enough to know that you're telling the truth.

I could argue some of the finer points, such as that it is entirely possible - in theory - to develop psychic powers, manipulate the world with your mind, and/or even defeat death.

But for the most part, you know your s***.

I've definitely achieved minor telekinesis and some other things... but, in your opinion, to what degree are channeled materials like Ra or Seth to be trusted?

I want freedom more than anything. There must be a way to get there.

To answer that question, since you seem to have a recurrent attraction toward that thought, I believe that to reach freedom you must know what it is. I believe freedom is the power to experience your own choices, and that in itself is given to everyone in every circumstances. Now that doesn't mean we all feel free all the time. I most certainly feel trapped very often. But perhaps it is helpful to consider the reasons why a feeling of constraint might be perceived over and over.

One of the key might be to consider from where do you seek freedom? Do you seek it from a perspective of lack or from a perspective of abundance. The difference lies essentially in the perspective for the same situation and so one could say that not seeking freedom could give you a key to realize you already have it. If you feel deep within that you have it, you wouldn't be seeking it right?

But I believe before being able to release the seeking, it is essential to understand that every circumstances are the results of choices, whether we perceive them or not. I believe the relation we can make with this is that we tend to have feelings of constraints because we cling to thoughts, ideas, feelings, perspectives, desires which makes us feel enslaved even though we want to be free and happy. It's essentially a battle between two choices. Realizing this is a first step towards perceiving the choices and the freedom you have behind it. We often cling to thoughts like "doing the right thing" or believing that "only a particular set of circumstances can lead us where we want to go" for exemple. While these things seem at first look to be looking towards our goals and desires, they essentially strips us off of the freedom to experience the real path leading us there, the path we have yet to discover. Acceptance that those things are not true might help realizing the freedom of our choices.

Maybe you find yourself in a situation where the constrict is so real and so big that it encompass your entire reality, such as being locked up in prison, having a lifelong medical condition or something like that. Most of the times it would be hard to argue that these circumstances also reflect choices which have already been made. To recognize them would also bring you closer to freedom. Essentially we have the freedom to enslave ourselves, or we are enslaved into our own freedom to experience ourselves. Choice is power, but power is freedom as long as it is used from a perspective of abundance, of unity and integrity. Without these things, power can also be the most constricting thing you can imagine. Most people who seek power and dwell in power, might at first "appear" like they have much freedom, but essentially they are enslaved by their choices of seperation and their own perceptions of lack.

Of course believing that it is possible to be free is also necessary. Otherwise, everything will feel like a constraint.
