Freedom

Freedom is not a self centred activity. True freedom is the ability to become an active participant in life. True freedom is seeing how skilled and capable we are and then effortlessly directing our activities for the benefit of all. True freedom is bursting with the wonder of the beauty of each moment and the wanting for the best for everyone. True freedom is to be found in relaxing for a short moment and gently allowing the recognition of clarity to become more and more obvious.

Short moments of clarity, repeated many times, become continuous.

Global clarity network

The power we have when we work together is something that most people already know. When we blast open the myriad of descriptive frameworks we have used to try and contrive the ways in which we can contribute and cooperate then we discover a whole new order of beneficial activity.

By tapping in to the global support network of Great Freedom what you discover is a group of people completely dedicated to supporting each other in relying on clarity. By seeing that we do have the ability to extract the power from each of our own experiences we know decisively that this is something that other people are also capable of. Each circumstance becomes the perfect opportunity to recognise the brilliance of clarity intelligence and it's innate compassion, strength and beneficial responsiveness. We all know how normal it is for us to want the best for other people. It's time to stop blaming others for the problems that we see in the world and actually begin to take responsibility for ourselves.

Great Benefit

The reason for gaining confidence in clarity is to be of great benefit.

Obsessive self focus

The recognition of the clarity of awareness is not about starting up another activity that is obsessively focused on all the ideas we have about everything. It is very easy to simply replace conventional frameworks with new frameworks about the recognition of clarity.

If you find yourself thinking about the recognition of clarity then this is a sign that you simply need to relax for a short moment. In this immediate instinctive recognition is all the understanding that you will ever require. The brilliant responsive intelligence of clarity is this relaxed openness.

Just show up

The most incredible piece of advice I was ever given was "just show up". Simply by listening to the hundreds of hours of free downloads, watching videos and attending Open Meetings whenever I was able, clarity became more and more obvious. With absolutely unerring instruction and support it is guaranteed that there is an increased ease and stability in all situations. It is an incredible relief to recognise that everything, without exception, rests in the warm embrace of clarity. I am so grateful for this incredible training and the love, warmth and openness that are now so much a part of my life.

Thank you Great Freedom!

Real Intelligence

What is looking through your eyes is clear, alert and vital. This clarity is evidenced in the ability to experience the ever-changing flow of perception. This dynamic display is the perfect opportunity to recognise the always-on nature of innate clarity.

By relying on clarity rather than only the descriptive frameworks that we have adopted to try and understand what is going on we tap into the vital essence of all experience. This essence is intelligent and all-pervasive, pervading all experience without exception. Clarity is the ability to respond with complete openness in any situation and to clearly see what is the most beneficial action we can take. It is like seeing everything from the top of a mountain, effortlessly knowing exactly what to do or what to say without any turmoil or confusion possible.

A case of mistaken identity

When we believe all of the conventional descriptions of who we are then we create an identity based on what other people have told us. By the direct observation of our own experience we are capable of coming to a definitive conclusion about the nature of our experience and thus about the nature of our true identity.

The painful way of life based on making all kinds of assumptions about who we are and what we need to be happy is shone through in an instant of instinctive relaxed openness. With the support of a community of people dedicated to relying on this innate clarity then there is no chance of even the slightest confusion around this most vital of recognitions. With nothing to defend there is no place for resentment and pain. With nothing to prove their is only spontaneous cooperation. With nowhere to go there is only total wonder at everything just as it is!

Direct Recognition

The direct recognition of the inseparable nature of clarity from every perception is completely convincing. This recognition does not depend on what the perception might happen to be. We might have labelled it a thought, emotion or physical sensation. However we have labelled it clarity shines brightly, lighting up the perception from within. Clarity illuminates all experience without exception.

In a short moment of relaxed openness, this is immediately and directly known. Great Freedom is a worldwide community of people dedicated to making the simple choice of relying on clarity. With the clear, consistent support that is offered confidence in clarity is guaranteed to increase and the ability to live life unlimited by any conventional framework becomes a reality.

Trust

What a relief to discover that we don't need to believe anything that we have been told about who we are or what we need to do to be OK. When we relax for a short moment we find something that we can really count on, something that we can really trust, our own direct experience of sky-like clarity. This direct, instinctive recognition of the stable ground of all experience is completely convincing and blows open the need to try and pin down or hold on to any fleeting appearance. Instead, when we repeat this simple recognition, we see that we can be more and more comfortable with the unpredictable flow of experience, however it looks. Great freedom is freedom in the immediate perception of everything exactly as it is. It is about getting real with ourselves about exactly what is the true nature of our experience, seeing that with clear guidance and support we have everything we need to gain confidence in the clarity that is the essence of every moment.

Simplicity

In a short moment of relaxed openness the simplicity of being is directly experienced. Potent clarity effortlessly pervades all experience, lighting it up from within.

Short moments of the instinctive recognition of clarity, repeated many times, become continuous.

No longer a victim

What a relief to discover that we no longer have to be a victim to any of our points of view. By relying on sky-like clarity for short moments, many times, then we directly experience the stable ground of all experience, amidst the unpredictable flow of perceptual phenomena.

By taking advantage of the support offered by Great Freedom it is absolutely guaranteed that confidence in relying on clarity will increase and we will experience increased ease in all situations.

Stability

Each moment is unique, fresh and new. The content of our experience is continually changing and yet underpinning it all is the vastness of sky-like clarity, constant and completely reliable. By emphasising clarity rather than only the contents of our experience we discover something quite incredible. What we discover is the stable ground of all our experience, the constant amongst all the ceaseless flow of fleeting appearances, naturally present and unwavering.

When we begin to rely on this clarity then we see how easily we are able to respond with warmth, openness and piercing intelligence in any situation, we are no longer confined by having to conform to all our conventional frames of reference. We directly experience what real freedom is and the fundamental nature of all our experience is directly recognised. Each moment has the same potential, each moment is an opportunity to recognise what is already the case. Short moment by short moment, gently touch in with this openness and see for yourself.

Descriptive frameworks

All descriptive frameworks rest naturally in the basic state of clarity. All opposites and dichotomies subsumed in clarity, the broadest of all categories. Nothing opposed to clarity as all is the display of clarity. No label more evidence of natural perfection than any other. The expanse of equalness and evenness is the perfect playground for purely beneficial qualities and activities, hooray!

Scientific method.

Recognising your true nature is not a matter of faith or belief but instead of direct, clear observation of the way things actually are. If we take the "scientific method" to it's logical conclusion then there is no need to take anything we have learned about ourselves and the nature of reality from other people as true but instead actually rely on our own experience. When we look clearly there is nothing that has an independent nature, separate or apart from the clarity that is looking through your eyes or hearing through your ears. All the "things" that seemed so real and compelling immediately have a completely different context and we can finally begin to relax the obsessive rearranging of space to try and make ourselves feel better, phew.
