Complete Freedom...

Most spiritual teachers tell you to first know that "You are That"..

This is the first Reality, although not complete Freedom is achieved in the First Reality, It is a good start..

I think that these teachers focus on the First Reality because the thought and fear of complete oblivion of self is too much for the mind to consider..

remember, the mind is the ego and has only the desire for existence..

Once, You have awakened as Divine Consciousness and the only ego left is the acknowledgement that You are God, Then the opportunity exists for further surrender of this last stage of egoic consciousness..

the highest gift to Reality is to give Everything that You possess, and Your Godhood is this highest gift..

This is complete unselfish Love..

This is Complete Freedom as the absorption into Pure Awareness...
