Spiritual Independence Day

What does it mean to be independent?

Of what?  How does one attain it?  Can it be purchased, traded or taken?

Spiritual enlightenment seems likely to be the closest thing to being independent.

The catch is that spiritual enlightenment has little to do with attaining and much to do with releasing.  Releasing of thoughts, things, people and situations that do not serve Your specified path.

It is about letting go and getting really really honest.   About who You are and why You are here. I sit observing others on the day recognized for this great concept.

The idea of  independence, the reason for the holiday.  Is anyone out there present to the reason for the day?  Can we create space in our lives to pay attention to this?

To notice what holds us as individuals away from our joy?  Or better yet can we turn our focus directly towards that which gives us joy?

I heard a story once about how the peach tree does not fuss over the blossom being on the branch where the fruit needs space to be.

The orchard keeper does not run around picking all the blossoms off the tree making room for the peaches.  As if the blossom’s being there will stop the peach from having space.

The peach grows and the blossom falls away naturally and the whole time we are able to enjoy the beauty and fragrance of the blossom.

Can life be this way? Where our focus goes to growing the peach (that which brings joy) and the rest will fall away naturally.

It is possible that nature already has independence figured out.  The psychic readings Christy and I have done over the past months all talk of getting clear and letting go from spiritual awareness.  If not now, then when?
