Liberation Is A Form Of Personal Integrity

The word “liberation” is currently widely used in books and articles on self-help, personal growth, and spirituality.

Something that happens very often is that we tend to confuse certain terms and designations. Liberation does not mean “not having anything” or creating emotional relationships where we carefully avoid emotional attachment that brings us security and well-being.

Liberation is something more intimate. At the same time, it is important for our psychological and emotional balance. Liberation means trying to avoid the things and people who possess us.

We need to be able to give ourselves freely to others in order to create more harmonious and respectful relationships. These relationships should be without addictions, retaliation, or recurring words such as ” without you I am nothing .”

We invite you to reflect on this.

Attachment and release

The term “liberation” has its roots in Buddhism. But in psychology and pedagogy, for example, we have growth with attachment and a healthy fortification.

There are two different concepts that need to be understood so that we can take advantage of them. We can use these concepts to build relationships that are fuller, where we give respect and at the same time are respected.

Healthy Fastening

For Buddhism, one of the most important terms for suffering is fasting. But the connotation here is not the same as attachment in the area of ​​personal growth or within emotional relationships.

Let’s take a look at this in more detail.

Humans, when born, need their fellow human beings to live and learn about the world.

• Growth with healthy attachment is where the parents care for the child’s needs. This is where the child is allowed to live close by to feel safe, and where caresses and hugs and a bond nurtured by love are the key to the development of this child.
• Emotional relationships based on a mature attachment are those in which two people freely give themselves to the other in order to build a respectful and happy relationship.
• The people we need to bond with are the ones we love, the ones where we can develop a kind of attachment where we feel safe. These people are the ones we feel close to and the ones we love and are loved by.

Liberation is a form of personal integrity

Now we want to go deeper into what liberation is to clarify some important aspects. This term does not quite mean that we give up everything we have. Getting rid of absolutely everything does not mean happiness.

The lack of essential things is a great indication of insecurity, fear and grief. Well, for many, addictions are the focal point of suffering. These include activities that bind us to things, people, and places.

• If we build our lives around a person, it can be bad. When our happiness depends on the mood, mood, and attitudes of a person, “something is hurting us.”
• If we are so attached to our families that we dare not move out of the house, “something is hurting us.”
• If we are tied to our job for some reason, “something hurts us.” There are many reasons. It could be a desire to get a better position in the workplace, or make more money, or even move up in society.

• In all these cases, something hurts us. We forget to be happy.

Liberation is a form of personal integrity. It reminds us that happiness does not belong to everyone. Also, it tells us happiness does not lie in getting more.

Happiness is first born inside us. This subsequently makes us feel perfect, free and mature.

How we introduce “liberation” into our daily lives

• Accept uncertainty. When deciding on a goal, do not put all your hopes and all your happiness on the outcome. Learn from the process and accept that uncertainty is fundamental.
• Do not focus your well-being and happiness on what everyone else is doing. Or even what they do not. It is a source of suffering that we must learn to manage.

• Decide to depend on your own actions. Also, learn how to be receptive to what others are doing spontaneously. But do not expect anything.
• If you are obsessed with people having to do things for you, you will be unhappy.
• Do not confuse desires with necessity. They are not the same. For example, I want to win the lottery because I need to get prize money to solve all my problems. It’s just something I want.
• Insecure people are the ones who cling most to those around them. They value having things because that’s how they meet their emotional needs.
• Take care of your self-esteem. Fill your needs with certainty to know you are a whole person. Know that you are not only able to be happy, but can also make others happy.
