Freedom from the Known

Send us Fan Mail We are born with a simple, clear, and open awareness. Yet, this pristine consciousness is short lived. As we navigate life, our experiences – linked to external approval or criticism – progressively reduce our scope of consciousness to limited ways of perceiving reality, ingrained habits, and automated reaction patterns. Unbounded curiosity, exuberance and awe, novelty, and spontaneous creativity give way to the ordinary, known, and mundane. Our lives become conditioned, molded and contracted by the weight of accepted norms and a subtle system of praise and critique. What once seemed expansive and open is replaced by a seemingly “functional” existence, as the natural vitality of an expansive life fades into the background. Join me in discovering how we find our way to home to a natural freedom from the known.
