Spirit

What we work for and towards is absolute freedom and independence of spirit. This means, first and foremost, independent of your own mind and body – thoughts and feelings, but ultimately independent of death (and therefore life). Independence and freedom, surprisingly come from and through love, and only when you have earned independence can your love be also independent – freely given – unconditional. Whatever clings to your spirit must be put to rest, not by destroying or repressing (they ultimately never work – your past always comes back to haunt and catch you), but by encouraging what clings to openly present itself so that it can be understood and then appeased by being loved. This is the only way and is really exactly the same as working correctly with another person. It is effectively coming to terms with your past – making peace with yourself.
