Freedom

 How do I build my life? A solid foundation, a continuity of connection (redundant?), keeping it touch with the contentedness of being or consciousness, proceeding from that, building steadily up, up, up (down, down, down?) into a healthy life.  Inspiration and Manifestation! Eightfold path seems to be a good schematic. 6 Paramitas The eight limbs of yoga seems to be a good schematic. The 7 chakra system (the rainbow bridge) seems to be a good schematic 

Notes from video:  The Nature of Consciousness, Rupert Spira https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-IIzAblVlg&t=1328s "If we want to speak the truth about the nature of consciousness, experience, or reality we would have to remain silent. And that is why it is said that the highest teaching is silence. "However, very few of us are sufficiently mature enough to intuit the nature of consciousness from silence,and therefore the spiritual traditions have elaborated various paths, various skillful means to tailor to various levels of our understanding. So it is in that spirit that I speak of the nature of consciousness. "And the first thing I would like to do is to give a definition of consciousness, of course consciosness cannot be defined. But this would be a good provisional definition of consciousness: Consciousness is that in which all experience appears, it is that with which all experience is known and it is that out of which all experience is made." --- @6:49 ...

Wow. Each chakra really is a different paradigm. I'm having to re-evaluate everything based on this new feeling of having a choice/will. And its so incredible how free will and fate are merged together from this perspective. There really is no conflict between them. Neither of them feel totally accurate, but those two terms represent different ways of viewing the same thing: Life expressing itself. I leveled up yesterday.  Thanks mom.

 I guess there's just I.   I am free to be good or evil. Passive or active. There's nothing that's going to save me, except myself, the universe expressed through these eyes; if I don't do it, it won't be done.
