The Element of Freedom :)

“And the day came, when the risk it took the remain tightly closed in a bud…was more painful than the risk it took to Bloom. That is the Element of Freedom.” -Alicia Keys

I am SunRaymond,

Hey!! Do yall like the above quote? I was listening to Alicia Keys…and she spoke that quote. And to that I said, “Right On!!!”
Notice she said, “And the day came….”, meaning that you should already be blooming like Spring!! You are living proof that Spring can occur year round. Sure you do Spring cleaning…but don’t you also clean in a similar manner year round?

Many of you have dreams. You wanna do this and you wanna do that…and you find that what you are doing now is quite painful as you are not doing what it is you really want to do. Ouch!! I’ve been there. Excuses excuses and more excuses.

We wanna stay in one spot our whole lives because it is what we are most familiar with. We wanna stay within that nice comfortable bubble that our immediate families have prepared for us. We wanna stay bound within our confusing religions. It’s a lot of things that seek to trap us…then once we see it for what it is…it starts to get more and more uncomfortable. Yet for some reason we try hard to remain in that uncomfortable position until we are all closed up…remaining tightly closed in a bud. Why?

It may be fear of what others think. Fear of letting this specific person down. Fear of the unknown…whatever it is…I bet it sucks to be tightly closed up in that bud.
My definition of the opposite of freedom is imprisonment…and I say that to be imprisoned is to not know your own self…because once you know yourself then you intuitively become compelled to do what it is you want to do…that which makes you Happy. That is called Blooming!! …and that is the Element of Freedom.

Get the idea of Freedom into your heads and make it manifest there. There are souls who can find Freedom behind the thickest bars. Sure the planet has been visited and taken over but it is time to take your place of Freedom behind bars. And as you do that…those bars will become thinner and thinner…day by day…thinner and thinner until they disappear. Then you find out that you’ve always been free to be free…and free to be You.

Put a normal human being behind bars and watch him suffer.
Now put dirt and a seed behind the same bars. Day by day…let the SunRays from the little barred window within the cell shine upon the plant…and water it as you would feed the imprisoned human.
I guarantee you that the plant will sprout and Bloom like those bars ain’t even there. That is the Element of Freedom. Ha!! How do you let a plant outsmart you. LoL!!! Hahaha!!

The Element of Freedom is risking the Fall just to know how it feels to Fly. Then once you finally Fly…you find that it becomes impossible to Fall…because you are Flying!!

Well ain’t that somethin’!!!?? It sure is.

Know yourself…then after you do that, go out and do what makes you Happy. No money? So? So what?? That don’t have nothing to do with why you can’t go out and do what makes you Happy. You are a master creator…Improvise!! LoL!!!

Here in the little mountain town I’ve been living in, it costs 18 dollars to go to the Hot Springs Pool during the day. Oh really?
So instead of going there…I walk myself to the Natural Hot Springs down by the river where I get the most wonderful views. I can bring Friends if I want…or I can go alone…sit for hours and listen to the sky…then I become the sky…how sweet the sound.

Remaining tightly closed in that bud has got to hurt. I bet you need to stretch. LoL!!
Your bones say, “PoP…PoP…PoP…Crack”…LoL!! …but after that you feel great.

That is the Element of Freedom!! Enjoy it…smiley face.
