Freedom

What is freedom?  My gut reaction is that freedom is the absence of external forces which compel.  Which makes me consider what "external" means.

Are our attachments really ours?  Do we possess them, or do they possess us?

Love

Could love be the state of removal of all boundaries?  What if, to say you love someone, is to say that you have removed all personal boundaries from your relationship with them?

What is it then to say that one loves the world?  If one lives without personal boundaries, have not all attachments ceased?  Has one not achieved Buddhahood, enlightenment, the state of Open Mind?

Thought

To think is to create.  When one thinks on limitedness, one limits oneself by creating limitation.

Oneness

When all of one's boundaries are removed, one experiences oneness.

Self is not lost, but because all boundaries have ceased, oneness is experienced.

oneness

I and my father are one

action

I only do what I see the father doing

compassion

"... and he had compassion on them and healed them all"

ego

he must become greater, I must become less

compassion

perhaps compassion is the experience of the movement of the heart of god
