From Basic Freedom to Full Actual Freedom

Yes I thought the same after reading it! :slightly_smiling_face:

At this point everything seems very straightforward and it’s just a matter of doing it, whatever the last bits of objection may be. Just yesterday I would say I had two issues that would be major, core-of-identity-level huge ones, and once I got down to actually puzzling it out they were resolved very quickly.

One was relating to my partner, being unhappy with various minutia that was piling up, and I simply realized that the root of it was a feeling that I had to suffer for her to be happy. And I saw that that just wasn’t true, I don’t have to do that for her nor her for me. That really brought the intimacy and fun immediately back with the disappearance of that unhappiness! And that simple realization is all it took.

The other was seeing with being upset in general, that it’s my choice if I want to be upset. That is a way to choose to live my life if I want to. In other words I saw it wasn’t a moral choice but a “what do you want to do?” choice. And of course with seeing it that way it was blindingly obvious that choosing to enjoy and appreciate being alive is far better :smile:

So I would say prospects are good and it’s just a matter of doing it now!

Cheers,
Claudiu
