Introduction by Adamas
Liberation is all about the self. Not in the superficial play of self-absorption that screams from most media outlets, but more the subtle intoxication with the richness of the weave that is rolling out before us. Every choice we make creates a new realm of possibility brought into form by the gamut of emotions and creative whims bubbling inside of us. The journey of liberation is the journey back through memory starting at the point where we have the most charge, these charged spaces are frequently from unresolved relationships in our history. It often begins with romantic relationships. These contain a large part of our unresolved story since other people rarely do what is expected of them or what we want so we set ourselves up for a wide range of disappointments and unresolved storylines.
The purpose with Liberation is to bring these stories to completion. Having a sense that we can now truly put them down without regret, a feeling we have really made peace with them in order for us to create new space in our life. How can we have a new relationship if we are hanging on to the unresolved shards of the past waiting for the other person to say or do something so we can finally allow an end on an emotional or physical body level? Often these resolutions play out in dreams where we finish the story and then wake up realizing that all we needed to do was to see what would have happened, or say certain words in order for us to truly lay it to rest. As we work through the most pressing unresolved relationships it allows space for us to begin to process other unresolved relationships, like family or old friendships that went bad and were just left hanging.
“Regret and unfinished business are like hangnails that get caught on things and cause the whole machinery of our existence to stick like a rusty chain on a bike. Once we smooth these over everything becomes much more seamless. We generate less chaos on the side, less hangnails hooking on socks and furniture as we walk around.� The journey of liberation is very much the journey back to our self.
