Based energy determines how you live. If that energy is constantly based on yourself, you’ll be selfish. If you possess the whole world, but aren’t free from self, you’ll remain based in a self created prison…
Being free from the prison of self requires basing your energy away from self-serving thoughts. When the mind isn’t based on these thoughts there’s a freedom that allows the mind to become free. What makes it get stuck is energy that’s mostly based on satisfying self in some way. Based on the sensation of mind, body, and mental formations helps to alleviate the bondage of self. This is a direct path to how to become free from suffering. You can only be free when your base is on what allows freedom, but it’s tricky because mastering this takes constant vigilance. It will be your directed base that determines the extent of freedom and that will be the determining factor how your life is lived.
Freedom from suffering is not pain free, it’s learning to be with the pain that arises. You cannot hide from what’s happening, but you can only be focused on something that bases you in the Now. To no longer be based on self is the path of liberation. How this is done is by simply not focusing on self and being based on what will set you free. The self is there and it has been given a name. It has so many other different labels attached to it, but it’s a prison because of the mere fact of attachment. Freedom occurs when there’s an understanding of the lies of self, not in creating concepts or beliefs. Where your energy is based determines how you live. If that energy is constantly based on self, you will be selfish. If you possess the whole world, but aren’t liberated from self, you’ll remain stuck in your self created prison…
