that's what meditation is letting go of everything and you realize letting go of everything is not an experience letting go of Everything Is Not A Feeling experience it's a it's a it's a existential position in relationship to life it's a philosophical and spiritual position it's a posture in relationship to all experience you understand what I'm saying everybody get the difference it's it's not a particular experience it's not a particular feeling experience you have a peace Joy or Bliss that's not it it's the it's a it's a philosophical and spiritual position you're taking relationship to experience it's not the experience itself and it's a it's a difficult thing to get so if you want to be a a free person or a liberated person that freedom and that Liberation is dependent upon the position the conscious position that you're taking in relationship to your experience and it's not dependent upon the experience itself because all experience comes and goes have you noticed that have you noticed experience comes and goes so when it comes and goes it means you can go up right whoa right I'm enlightened and you go oh down and then up again and down or else you can go down also for a long time and you can go way up and then on it goes right so your experience is going to go up Pleasant unpleasant fantastic awful Blissful painful Etc right so you're you're the so the feeling quality of your experience is always going to be changing isn't that true and all the more so if you live a life of Engagement you see if you live a life of withdrawal so for example if you go away and you live in a cave somewhere and all the and the and the conditions that you're living in are completely controlled all the time right it's the same temperature and there's no noise and there's no stimulation and it's very very quiet day in and day in out day out week in and week out month in and month out year in you then you can you can completely create a very stable feeling state right you may just have to you know eat a little bit sleep a little bit but basically you can can completely control the kind of experience you're going to have right but the more engaged the life that you live right the more engaged you are the more you're actually embracing life the the more engaged you are with life the more difficult it's going to be to control the kind of experience you're having so therefore if you're going to live a life of Engagement but you want to be free the freedom that you're speaking about was going to have to have more to do with the position that you're taking in relationship to your experience than the actual quality or content of experience itself everybody get that this is very important stuff very important so if you live an Engaged life then your freedom is going to have to have more to do with the position that you're taking in relationship to experience rather than the content of your experience in any particular moment a person who is not free can have an experience of bliss right so a person who's not free can have an experience of bliss and feel during the Blissful experience like they are free right but that doesn't mean as a human being they are free and then you can also say that that also that on the other hand you can say a human being who is free can have an experience of pain and fear frustration confusion and anxiety and not lose their Freedom oo so so the freedom we're speaking about here has to do with the position you take in relationship to your experience and it has less to do with the content of your experience rather than the position you're taking in relationship to your experience is that clear that distinction so what I'm saying is freedom is not a feeling freedom isn't the feeling of peace Freedom isn't the feeling of Joy Freedom isn't the feeling of ecstasy see the feeling of Peace joy and ecstasy feels free but it's just a feeling of Freedom it's not Freedom itself so what I'm saying is that freedom is a position that you take in relationship to all your experience rather than a particular feeling experience and that's something to think about okay hard lesson to learn but it's very important stuff
