The Great Escape The more you want to be free from the imprisonment, the stronger the bars become, the thicker the walls seem. First rest in assumed confines, give no thought to freedom, nor bondage, for that matter, stop trying to escape the situation, notice the nooks and crannies of your cell. Become insightfully aware of your situation, regardless of whether it produces blissful or painful sensations, and by standing still to the core the flash of recognition ultimately dawns, that the jail was of one's own making. The bars and cinder blocks thinner than rice paper, as ethereal as the wind, as real as the unicorn. So the great escape is made, not by moving an inch figuratively and literally, and one revels in reality without bars and borders infinitely boundless, presently joyful. June 28, 2001 (1 of 1)
