Free from what? Free from the illusion that you are nothing more than your physical body and your mind. This “illusion of the self,” as the Buddha calls it, is the core error. Free from fear in its countless disguises as the inevitable consequence of that illusion — the fear that is your constant tormentor as long as you derive your sense of self only from this ephemeral and vulnerable form. And free from sin, which is the suffering you unconsciously inflict on yourself and others as long as this illusory sense of self governs what you think, say, and do.
This is where it resonates I can feel a resistance in my body when I read these lines. A fear. Becaue I recognize that beyond those limiting beliefs there is infinite possibility, infinite potential, no attachment and complete freedom, and it is terrifying.
