Breaking Free From the Shawshank Prison of the Mind

The Mind Always Says We Are Separate

How can we possibly break free of the safe Shawshank prison the mind creates for us?

We’re all trying so hard, trying so hard to change something outside of us. We insist the problem is out there, but also insist that the solution is out there.

In this image, we see that we are stuck in the mind’s two-dimensional reality. In essence, the mind, like a computer, objectifies everything and judges it either as a part of us or a part of someone else. The mind only knows this way of engaging life.

With heart centering, however, we awaken to the fact that these programs are running without our conscious knowledge. No matter how hard we think, we can’t get out of the box.

The red and blue box is the reality of duality and persistent separation from our hearts.

Stuck in the Shawshank prison of our own minds, we become both the warden that judges, the guard, and the prisoner.

The Heart Reveals We Are Whole

“The Heart, when open, always reveals that we are equals, heart-full and radiantly whole.”

This image reveals the heart’s reality, which shows that we are energetic equals and radiant beings.

We know this is true from the experience of romantic love, when there was a full activation of the heart center and the other was revealed as radiant to us as we were to them. Under these circumstances, however, we often did not see ourselves as radiant.

Now that our mental reality has become fake, artificial, hyper-stimulated, and massively manipulated, our sense of who and what we are is being profoundly challenged to change.

By spending more and more time connected to our hearts, our deeper, more expansive three-dimensional reality of unity is revealed. We begin to see ourselves regularly in the mirror as radiant selves.

Reunited with our hearts, we are truly free from the Shawshank prison that our minds created and held us safely within for so many years.

The Light That Breaks Through All Barriers Is Your Heart Light

Take time now to go beyond the confines of your safe but confining mental prison.

Take time right now and shift into your heart. Experience that light, warmth, and calm, and let it radiate outwardly. Continue to let it shine and shine and shine.

Surrender with ease to the shift until it naturally fades.
