DVD #178 – Teaching of Christ: Freedom

Lecture given in the Aquarian Education Group’s old temple in Sedona, Arizona on September 12, 1993.  

 “What is the essential freedom? Essential freedom is elimination of all those limitations and obstacles that prevent man from returning to his divine nature.” — Torkom Saraydarian. In this lecture Torkom discusses how freedom must be applied through harmlessness. 63:08 min

“If you read the Teaching of Christ very closely, very deeply, you will see that in that Teaching from the beginning to the end Christ is emphasizing freedom. It is not only political freedom, social freedom, and so on but also an essential freedom. That essential freedom is the elimination of all those limitations and obstacles that are preventing the human being from returning to his Divine Nature. Everything that prevents you from being yourself, your essential Self, is an obstacle, is a limitation, and the Teaching of Christ shows exactly how to eliminate these obstacles and hindrances to lead to total freedom.”

– Christ, The Avatar of Sacrificial Love, p. 257

“Freedom without harmlessness turns into violence, totalitarianism, into crimes, into a superiority complex, into destruction. You must have freedom, but freedom must be exercised through harmlessness. Harmlessness is compassion and compassion is nothing else but love, and love is nothing else but freedom.”

– Christ, The Avatar of Sacrificial Love, p. 262

“Freedom is a state of awareness. In that state your true Self is not conditioned by any formula, doctrine, dogma, expression, or by any physical, emotional or mental form. You can penetrate through them and see things as they are. Freedom is obedience to cosmic principles. Only through such an obedience can you destroy your limitations and hindrances.”
