Declaration, by Charles Carreon
So what does it mean to be a free person?
To look through your thoughts, and see fewer limitations,
Not to feel constrained by anything,
Absolutely free to do absolutely nothing.
Not needed, not wanted, not sought.
I've become hermetic by a process of inversion.
All resources come from within, so gradually one wants no input.
None.
Dealing with things is hard, because there isn't enough will.
The lack of will is a drag.
It's like a trend to non-existence.
Yet that's not at all what I seek.
I wish to be unknown and unsought, to be absolutely free.
Then of course I will come face to face with the limitations of my own mind.
Which is what I am eager to do.
The limitations of the mind are intriguing.
The problem of time and awareness and their interdependence is wonderful to contemplate.
The mysteries of vibration and attention are innumerable.
The face of mother earth is inscribed with life-affirming meaning, if you choose to fix your eyes upon the mountains.
Read there and you will need no Saviour's testimony to believe that we are part of something immense, living, eternal.
These truths I hold to be self-evident.
