Unknown Freedom.

There is only unknown freedom. Yet a dream seems to play out which seems very real. It seems real but is not. There seems to be someone but this is the dream.

An energetic sense of self happens in the body and from this, there seems to be separation, an object to a subject. There seems to be a person searching to find something, find happiness, and find more. This energy of separation, which is an experience of something missing, of loss, of unworthiness, is an illusory sense of a person. The person searches for better experiences, more knowing, or something else other than this - unknown freedom. A journey seems to happen. A reaction to this can occur and a search for self-improvement, self-realisation, or awakening can happen. It's all part of the search by this energetic sense of self. The search, through more experiences, will never find what it is looking for. Yet this is also freedom happening as a search....this is wild and free. This is unconditional freedom.

The story of Yvette is a story. It isn't real. Seemingly real but only a story. The one experiencing the story of having done this and that is the dream, the separation. A dance between someone and no-one seems to happen or seemingly disappears completely. Simply nothing/freedom freely happening.
