Be Not What You Think You Are But Who You Are

Faith is conceptual belief and like heaven itself it needs no proof as it transcends time, place, history, culture and space. Yet, as faithful as we may be, we are not of heaven but are beings of the earth— Unable to divorce ourselves from the experiences of time, place, history, culture or perceived cosmic space. Life is an earthbound reality perceived and lived in time, place, history, culture and space. And liberation is not what we think but what we must fight to ensure to be— To merely seek, ask and knock is as conceptual as faith is; whereas fought for and won liberation is the result of the reality of perceived truth: you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free—free your mind and you are not just what you think you are but who you are. P.S: To think thoughts is one thing; to actualize them is another thing. Reality is not a concept but an actuality.
