“All of that is happening right now. The fantasy about work and tomorrow and going somewhere else and all the rest of it is just a story happening now. No matter what you cannot escape this right now - because you are this. There is no you separate from this. When the fantasy is happening then there is just fantasy. It's not you having a fantasy. It's just fantasy. You are the fantasy. You are the aliveness of which the fantasy is made and into which the fantasy resolves right now.   And freedom is what is happening. Freedom is the infinite capacity to welcome everything that you are. Freedom is the discovery that liking and disliking, wanting and not wanting - it is all merely this present happening. It's not you liking something. It's just liking. The separate individual who owns the liking is an inference. Who you are is that which is welcoming the liking or disliking into yourself. Which is effortless. Take a look and see that this is what is actually happening right now.”
