Subject: “Of Bondage and Freedom.”

Received by Lytske.

Mentor: “Some days ago we spoke about doors, and more specifically about the door of the heart, whether it be open or closed, and we touched briefly on the problems connected with this. I would pursue this in a similar vein and use the word bondage.

“People are held in bondage in one form or other. This deals mainly with their habitual thoughts, which keep them in bound to such an extent that they are incapable of thinking along original lines. These habitual thoughts have become like a security blanket from under which they dare not venture beyond the norm, to think outside the box.

“With this I mean that they are like sheep following one another without thinking independently how this could serve them in their personal spiritual growth. It is time for the masses of humanity to wake up and realize how they are kept in bondage, some even by the elders of their various places of worship.

“The Creator intended for each individual, born on every planet in space, to think for themselves and grow into the divine blueprint He bestowed upon each living and thinking mortal child. If the Creator had wanted a race of mortal clones, He would have created them so. Instead He gave each human child the capacity to think for themselves and make decisions, indeed, barring genetic and unforeseen accidents, from which humans emerge less than capable of thinking and rendering their decisions.

“To discover the extent to which bondage exists, consider not this individual to be a rarity, but rather deem the world at large to be in some way controlled and therefore in bondage, albeit that most of you are not even aware of how extensively insidious this bondage can be. Your thoughts restrict you and therefore keep you in bondage to circumstances, as the why’s and wherefore’s ever escaped you, because of patterns of habitual thinking, choices and decision making.

“Think what you can do to acquire freedom within yourself and clarity of your thoughts, so these don’t run amuck like a team of spooked horses – creating that merry-go-round of your mind. The answer is actually very simple; get off the merry-go-round and free your thoughts to more useful and elevated matters. It is in your power to achieve this. Cut the cords that bind you to a tedious train of thought, stop this and veer onto a different track for a more hopeful and positive scenery. There is so much to be enjoyed in life, as the Creator has given you the free will to open yourself to the many blessings which may so far have passed you by unnoticed.

“It is already a blessing and a privilege to wake up to another day of spiritual growth, and to be able to ask yourselves how you shall spend your day as a new person, open to anything new … or once more wasting the day as per usual, according to habit and routine, so all days will appear alike, dull and gray when reminiscing?

“Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured, so get out of old habits which prevent you from having original thoughts.”
