“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.”
-Bob Marley-
The hard truth is that we have free will, but most of us do not or cannot employ it. In some places in the world, free will is stifled by cultural norms, religious dogma, or oppressive governments. In other places, people become slaves of unconscious habit. How often do you spend wrapped up in depression over the past or anxiety regarding the future? Most do not even realize that they operate this way on a normal basis. Only you can free yourself from an oppressive mind. The key, as always, is presence. Embrace the eternal present and liberation will follow.
Wishing you a mentally expansive Saturday.
