Hi Everyone, With all this talk of free lately, I thought I would write something:
How do we be free? What is free? Am I free now? I live in what many would call a free country, does that mean I am free? What does free even mean? Free from what? The MOQ would say - static patterns are suffering. They represent old age and death. At the most basic level if you are free from some thing, that is, if you are free from some such a static quality then you are said to be free. In that case how do we experience 'Free'? One way of experiencing free, is by simply doing something else. If I have the choice to do something else then I can be said to be free. That's what democracy, or this 'free' country that I live in is all about. Having the choice to do something else. The freedom. That thing doesn't have to be better, just so long as it's something else, something new, that I may or may not have done before, then I can be said to be free. But unlike what most people say in these free Western nations of ours say, that's not the only way to be free. This first kind of free is really just more static quality and not truly free. There is another way to be truly free from static quality. To be truly free from static quality you can be free from it by getting it perfect. That is, you find some such a static quality and do it over and over and over again, until it no longer grates and it's gone. Through doing something, over and over again, and getting it perfect, static quality disappears. This is best experienced by doing something very simple and easy to perfect - such as sitting in a room. If you sit, the first time you do so your mind will be very 'loud' and thinking of 10 million things (well mine certainly was). But the more you sit, the more the mind quietens down, and eventually, if one sits regularly enough, it stops - revealing the DQ that is there all along. It's strange, because it wasn't what I was really ever told, or what we're told in the West, but right in the middle of the most monotonous boredom; Dynamic Quality and true freedom can be found. To me this is one of the most beautiful aspects of the MOQ. It explains with brilliant Metaphysical clarity how to truly experience DQ and make things better as a result.
