"...because anyone who has died has been freed from sin" Romans 6:7

The reason many people are not experiencing freedom is because they are possessed by their own mind. In the outside they may look like they have gotten it all together, but in the inside they are enslaved by their thought patterns and are controlled by their emotions.

People are not what they appear to be. They are their consciousness, meaning the nature of their thoughts and feelings. You are what you really are in the inside, you are what you really are when you are alone. This is why a lot of people don't like to spend time alone, this is one of the tricks of the ego to keep the slavery going.

The reality is if you dont know someone's consciousness you dont really know them. It is hard to know anyone because most people are in the hide out so to speak. Most people are not true to themselves and their feelings because they are ashamed of what others would say if they were to 'be real'. So instead people wear different masks and have multiple personalities. In truth they are possessed by their ego.

It is the same ego that is controlling many lives in various degrees. It is the devil. we all have but one enemy. how it attacks one person maybe different from how it attacks someone else, but we are all on the same boat. That is why we can't judge anyone, none of us is in the position to do so, and if we do we only intensify our own ego; thus keeping it alive.

The level of truth you know determines the level of freedom you experience. The truth that makes us free comes from an inner awakening. Our true self, the Christ within, the ideal man, is dormant in many souls. Though many claim to have discovered the Christ within, but only a few people are experiencing the complete freedom that comes from this discovery.

Apostle Paul is known for his passion for Christ. In the passage above he was talking about the death of the ego; man's false identification due to the ignorance of his true self-the Christ self within and the light of the world. This world is not the world without that we experience through our senses, but the world within - man's consciousness which is the combination of his thoughts and feelings.

And unless the light of Christ shine through we will remain in complete darkness. This is why most people are lost and can't find their way. May today's inspired article quicken the divine life in you. And may the light, the understanding that you withdraw from its message, direct your life to the way everlasting that guarantees perfect freedom.

How much freedom do you want to experience? It is completely up to you. Join the minority of those people who refuse to be under the control of the ego. Observe yourself, examine your own consciousness, spend time alone with God. He lives in you!

Be willing to die each and everyday by letting go of old thought patterns and habitual 'sins'. Keep on letting go, your reward is your freedom!
