“I am not a victim of the world I see”
When you experience the Light in you shining and extending outward, you will feel connected to the Light in everything it meets. Then no thoughts of bondage or dependence would even enter your mind. Those types of thoughts enter in when the ego’s thoughts are believed and projected outward to spread their veils that cover up the Light that remains present everywhere. It is a dynamic of dreariness projecting and bumping into dreariness, justifying itself in the images it conjures up.
Your release from this dynamic lies in the knowledge that the world you see reflects the content of your mind. Change your mind and the world changes accordingly. You are only held by the images caused by the projection of ego thoughts for as long as you entertain those types of thoughts. Your glorious independence and freedom dawns when you direct your mind to decide against them and think creative thoughts instead.
You are not a victim of the world you see. You are a receiver of the world you see. What you receive depends on the quality of the thoughts you entertain and send out.
