Freedom reversed

enlightened man, with chains

Gemini AI

Little Mind: Can it be true, Big Mind, that true freedom is only experienced by the slave?

Big Mind: Yes.

Little Mind: That the chains we can see, touch, and feel are not the real ones keeping us from freedom?

Big Mind: Yes.

Little Mind: That the Master is actually the true slave — bound by invisible chains of desire, possessions, and lust?

Big Mind: Yes.

Little Mind: If all this is true, as you say… how can I begin to believe it?

How do I undo years of conditioning — of believing the opposite?

Where do I find the faith to trust in something so hard to imagine, let alone see?

Big Mind: By beginning.

Little Mind: Beginning what?

Big Mind: The first step.

Little Mind: And what is that?

Big Mind: What do you feel?

Little Mind: I feel…

that asking these questions, opening this space between us…

is the first step.

Big Mind: Then you are already on the path.

Little Mind: Which path?

Big Mind: The path of service.

Little Mind: What does it entail?

Big Mind: Freedom through service.

Freedom through surrender.

Letting go of self… in devotion.

Little Mind: And where does that path lead?

Big Mind: I don’t know.

Little Mind: What do you mean?

Big Mind: That.

Little Mind: But if you don’t know, you — wise Big Mind — then who can?

Big Mind: You.

Little Mind: Me?

Big Mind: Yes, you.

No one else can truly know where your path leads.

You, and you alone, are the answer to your question.

You, and you alone, are the creator of the answer… and its manifestation.

Little Mind: This… I still cannot see.

Better I go to sleep.

Big Mind: You are ready when you are ready.

Not before.

Not after.
