And this myth that I can rest in some assuredness. That I will never again feel insecure, or feel fear, or feel doubt, or feel those emotions we don’t want to feel. If I’m truly enlightened, I will never feel those emotions. Forget it. That’s not it. That’s the pipe dream. That is the opium that is sold to the masses. And they eat it up, and they never get there, and they end up disillusioned. Freedom is never freedom from. If freedom is freedom from anything, it’s not freedom at all. It’s freedom to. Are you free enough to be afraid? Are you free enough to be insecure? Are you free enough not to know? Are you free enough to know that you can’t know? Are you free enough to be totally comfortable knowing that you can’t know what’s around the next corner? How you feel about it ... how you will respond to it - that you literally can’t know? Are you free enough to be totally at ease and comfort with the way things actually are? That’s freedom.

Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.
