Independence

Independent. The dictionary says:

Free from outside control; Not depending on another's authority; Self-governing.


Free from outside control. 

What must the quality of my mind be to be totally free from outside control of any kind? What is the quality of my mind when it is being controlled, swayed or bullied from some outside experience?


Not depending on another's authority.

What is the quality of my mind when it no longer depends on something or someone? What is going on within my mind when it seeks another's authority? Do I need comfort or reassurance? Do I feel not capable? Do I want to fit in?


Self-governing.

What is the quality of my mind when it is self-governing, sovereign and completely autonomous? What is its quality when it is caught in seeking and fear?


Explore independence and find out the depth of it.


Happy 4th of July.
