Chapter 5 How to Awaken the Extremely Intense Desire for Liberation

  1. The primary means to awaken the extremely intense desire for liberation is to carefully examine two choices every day until the extremely intense desire for liberation awakens.
  2. Choice A is to choose to end the ego by dropping all unnecessary activities, to create the maximum amount of time every day to practice the most direct and rapid means to eternal bliss.
  3. The most direct and rapid means to eternal bliss, here and now in this lifetime, is the Awareness Watching Awareness Method described in Chapter Seven.
  4. Choice A is Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss with no sorrow and no suffering.
  5. Choice A is Eternal Life.
  6. Choice A is to live as your true Self for all eternity.
  7. Choice A is absolutely perfect joy.
  8. The above (2 - 7) is a summary of Choice A.
  9. Some people may find it helpful to read more descriptions of Choice A written by the Awakened Ones who have taught in the past and such quotes or a list of books will be provided in future volumes of this book or on The Freedom Religion, inc. web site:

  1. Choice B is being identified with a body subject to suffering, sorrow, disease, death, violence, fear, anger, etc.
  2. Choice B is to allow an imposter called the ego to pretend to be yourself and to control you.
  3. Choice B is to allow an imposter called the ego, that has created all the wars, diseases, death, sorrow, suffering and evil that every human has ever experienced, to continue.
  4. Choice B is to have a temporary and therefore futile life that leads only to death.
  5. In order to better examine Choice B, you can make a list of all the forms that human sorrow and suffering take.
  6. You can write on that list thousands of wars, thousands of diseases, thousands of forms of violence and every other form human sorrow and suffering takes that you can think of. Usually humans look only at a small part of the ocean of human sorrow and suffering. The purpose of the list is to look at the entire ocean of human sorrow and suffering all at once. The purpose of the list is to look at the entire negative side of human life all at one time.
  7. You need only read the suffering list once.
  8. After that, the summary found in Chapter Five should be enough. [this chapter]
