Can you release yourself from your own prison! Part I
Prison is where you live, inside your body, inside your mind, inside your psyche. You are not free, for your body imprisons you. You, being mind or soul, or spirit or psyche. Your body is the space and time that permits you move in a particular way, submit you to its limits. Your body is but restriction to your relative liberty. It dictates its limits and its space and time upon your life. It gives you first of all a span of being, a lifetime for existing.
But once your body end comes your body decided for you when you exit. You are bound by its limitations, for you cannot fly, nor hop from one street to another. You need machines to help you travel and hop from one place to another. But it is not you. It is not your body that makes you hop or travel.
You are fixed by your own physical constitution. You are fixed to specific movements and specific conduct. You are fixed to the limits of your being inside your prison. What freedom do you have? All is relative, like everything else. You must eat, for your body depends on it. You must drink for your life depends on it. You must sleep for your being depends on it. Where is your freedom then?
No way to escape eating or drinking, for few hours or few days, then your being is at stake. Your survival suffers and your prison demands you to submit to the law of the jailer. No pity, no mercy, no freedom. You are destined to move within the walls of your prison. Whether you like or not, hate it or not, you live within the walls of your body.
Try get your liberty and then you die. Suicide is the only way out, especially if you are sick and suffering from a cancer to aids or whatever illness happen to strike you in your own prison. Illness you try to escape but they catch up with you from time to time and once for example you are under the grippe of a grippe then your body imposes on you its demands and exerts of your to comply by its weakness, aches and suffering.
Your feet have a certain limit of movement. They cannot be twisted in every direction. Your hands cannot perform except what is within its capacities. Your head cannot even turn around to look back, You have to turn a round in a circle to look behind you. The structure of your body is so made that you have to comply by its limits and its dictates.
Have you tried to jump off your window? Try it and see what happens, especially if you live on the seventh floor. You bones are crushed, your blood pours as a cascade, you would feel so terrible that you would wish death, if you are lucky, or unlucky enough, to survive.
In your fall, you have to keep company to your body. You cannot let your body fall and you stay behind watching its fall! You are imprisoned with its walls and whatever happens to it you sure are going to feel it.
When you get older then God has mercy on you. For your body does not respond to your wishes, already limited in reality. You become weak with all sorts of nagging illnesses and discomfort. But you must take all, buddy!
