Stop chasing freedom and start mastering it.

Peace Be With You Reader,

One of the greatest obstacles on the spiritual path is the belief that we need more freedom.

We say things like,

“I’m so bound by my negative thoughts.”
“I need freedom from my mind.”

But pause and ponder:
- Isn’t the power to choose what thoughts you entertain or ignore always available to you?
- Haven’t you always had the ability to give or deny attention to any thought that arises?

You see, this isn’t about needing more freedom.
It’s about exercising the freedom you already possess.

The truth is...
We don’t suffer from lack of freedom—
We suffer from lack of self-responsibility.

"Inner discipline and self-responsibility are the first steps toward the real freedom of self-mastery."
- Aaron Abke, The Three Beliefs of Ego

Self-responsibility means giving up the ego’s favorite story: the story of victimhood.

Our shackles are forged not by circumstance, but by our misuse of attention.
We’ve forgotten that we are the wardens of our awareness, not its prisoners.

We let thoughts roam freely, dictate our moods, and drag us into old reactions.
Then we call that chaos “life.”

But this isn’t a freedom problem.
It’s a responsibility problem.

Because what you give attention to grows,
and what you withdraw attention from withers away.

⚡ The Ego’s Power Is Borrowed.

The ego has only the power you’ve inadvertently given it.
It’s not infinite; it’s on loan.

“The ego operates within very specific limits, whereas your True Self is unlimited.
The ego has at its disposal only the power you’ve given it.
The I AM within you is infinite — boundless, inexhaustible, and always accessible.”
- Aaron Abke

This means the moment you choose to meet the ego on equal ground, with equal discipline, awareness, and force of attention, it cannot win.

It only survives by your consent.

Your awareness is the infinite force that dissolves it.

🌿 Your Power of Attention Is Your Freedom

So why keep waiting for “more freedom”?
You already hold the key.
The question is:
Are you willing to use it?

Yes!

Self Mastery is about becoming response-able to it.
Able to respond to thoughts, emotions, and life from Truth rather than habit.

Until self-mastery matters more than momentary pleasure...
Until peace becomes more sacred than performance...
Until truth becomes your only home...
The ego will keep you chasing what you already are.
