This is something that is really hard in the society and mental states most of us live in now. We are stormed each day will tonnes of propaganda that rapes our mind and controls our actions. Each day we move farther and farther away from a lot of the things that perhaps will enables us to free our minds. Love, Compassion, Empathy, Happiness. We simply dont experience enough and move away, slowly alienate ourselves from everything else, we do not have a local life to be able to have a relationship with people, even though we may want to for example have some sort of relationship with our neighbour or a stranger something stops us [well something definately stops me], we do have the radical choice to talk to that stranger, we sometimes no longer see that stranger as a living human being with feelings and emotions, we sometimes see them as objects, ive come slowly to realise that once you are AWARE and conscious that people are PEOPLE, in fact a relationship can spawn from there even if you dont talk to the person, its amazing, you suddenly see this stranger as someone you can relate so much to, you feel love. To be conscious and aware of everything around you, and to know what to reject will ultimately free your mind.
How to free My Mind
How I did it: I was depressed for 5 months...reading, writing, expressing as much as possible, neglecting my family and friends, seeing a psychologist. I was going crazy and i thought there was something wrong with me. But if i didn't go through all of that...I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this goal.

As a kid I always thought a lot and spoke little with strange people, I always felt that I could be whatever I wanted to be. Somehow I lost myself. Trying to be someone else, trying to be a better person but always failed on my own standards. I kept hurting my self-esteem throughout and ended up feeling lower than I ever thought I would.
I never thought this situation of personal conflict with my mind would ever arise. Even though I hit my confidence and my belief in my own self, I never thought I was less smarter than anyone else during my downturn. Somehow when I tried to improve myself and started climbing up back again, I started feeling I was the worst I could have been.
I took a hit then, not before, and realized my creativity had died, my will to do something good had died. Even though I found myself to be caring and kind, I did not care about myself. And this is when I started finding myself again. I hope to achieve that real soon so I can give back what I have taken from my family, my community and my own personality.

I recently realized how much religion played a role in my life, playing the father of my moral beliefs. Although, I never considered myself very religious; everyday I lived to be a good person, I lived to please everyone convincing myself, that I too was living by my own moral compass. But, that was all a lie. I’m trying to free my mind of guilt, fear, and doubt. My body, my actions, and my mind are not fully in sync. When I do what I feel, my mind brings me down. It stops me from enjoying the things I should enjoy and the feelings and actions that are the most natural to every human life.
I’m not really sure how to get past this.

but its a number of practice. Getting into spirituality will help you understand your purpose in life. Taking an internal mind cleanse of a journey to somewhere like himalayas will be uplifting. Removing unhealthy egos and gaining awareness. Meditation is the freeway to enlightment and detaching from all material things in the world will bring internal peace. Your life will start to make sense when you searching for truth. Your mind will be free when you learn to understand the mind.
I want to know what I understand and belive. I know you are out there and I know the is more to it.

I have done this before, it takes practice. I think meeting other people who have freed their minds really helps. Otherwise being stuck in the same boring routine following rules really gets to you. I get locked in. Living in the city, gas prices so high, no where to escape to. So detached from the natural world.
