What does freedom depend on?

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
- Rumi, Iranian poet

Does freedom depend on wealth, position, status, possessions...?

Does it depend on what one has?

Or is freedom a state of liberation from within?

Or perhaps it is not an issue of "either or" (i.e. the external versus the internal), but could it be that with attainment of an inner state of freedom, the outer conditions that we associate with "wealth" will gather around an individual like a magnet attracts filing (if the individual so desires)?

I believe that freedom is first and foremost an inner process... attainable by the individual. Not by adding anything "new"... but by shedding the false from the mind, and opening the eyes to the perception of truth...

... the truth, love, and peace that is already here, now.

We don't have to seek in the future for freedom... we don't have to seek in the political life for freedom (it is so often rife with conflict and frustration)... we don't have to seek in wealth for freedom, because it does not exist there (money is simply a tool for material lives, and fulfilling our projects)... what we long for is here, now. Of course, it may take some time to clear away the dross and bring out the gold... but that's alright. There is no rush when it comes to what truly matters.

Gold and Silver in the Mainstream Media

The U.K.'s Daily Telegraph says "The ingredients are in place for a bull run in gold and gold stocks". Also, a U.S. insurance company acquires gold for the first time in 152 years.

This is important, because as the mainstream starts publishing about the weakness of the U.S. dollar (and other fiat currencies) and the strength of the gold and silver markets, more and more people will abandon paper money and flock to precious metals.

If you want to position yourself for the bull run in gold and silver, make sure to read these two books to understand precious metals (available from any good public library system):

• The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It
• Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver
  

For a good way to buy gold and silver bullion, go to GoldMoney.com and open an account.

For physical bullion possession, and if you live in Canada, I suggest this dealer:

Of course, this is not investment advice, and you assume all risk for your own actions.
