The Biggest Lie About Freedom

In the ego-drama, life revolves around me: I am the author, the lead actor, the producer, and the director. This is exemplified by Satan in Paradise Lost, who states: “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.” By contrast, in the theo-drama, God is at the centre of our lives. By surrendering ourselves to God, we paradoxically gain true freedom, and become ourselves. Self-realisation comes when you give yourself to a higher self that overwhelms yourself so that you become yourself. When the devil whispers, “Do whatever you want”, it seems like freedom, but it is actually a trap. Ironically, we become less free, losing self-control and end up pursuing what harms us. Freedom does not mean that we can do whatever we want to do. Freedom and obedience to God go hand in hand. #freedom #devil #obedience #god
