A liberated being is a being who is free to be in, but not attached to, any of the perceived reality modes.  A being who is aware of the reality modes may attend to them sequentially, and yet remain free of identifying with any of them.  The goal is to be spiritually in the experiential world but not of the world.

The process of awakening is the recognition that the realities which we thought were absolute are only relative.  To define ourselves as being within anyone awareness mode is to impose a limiting condition, and we are less than free.

Our intellect, our linear mind, knows only through our five senses and thus becomes a limiting factor; a prison of sorts, tending to lock the process of achieving higher levels of awareness, of coming to know.

Most people around us that we have grown up with take the first two modes of awareness as absolute reality.  Actually, the clinging to any mode of awareness as reality is really a sign of arrested spiritual development; a self imposed imprisonment.

What brings us down is our attachment to old models or programs about who we thought we were and how we thought the world was; old habits of mind.  The clinging to any one single conception of reality without ever allowing oneself to see through the self imposed game or drama of relative realities is the real definition of insanity.

Fear can also bring us down--where there is fear, we aren't free.  To free ourselves from fear we must motivate ourselves to confront those places within ourselves that illicit those fears--to conquer our internal demons head on.  Instead of running and hiding from ourselves, we could turn around and look directly at ourselves.

The paradox within and between the various levels of awareness is that there is an incredible melodrama going on and we are all the actors.  The paradox is that actually it's all so perfect. 

Each level of awareness is a result of some form of suffering.  When there is suffering, we must do everything we can to alleviate it realizing the suffering is our teacher and is perfection itself.  Our doing everything we can to alleviate it is also part of the perfection.  Just stop for a moment and look back at your entire life of neuroses and suffering and see how perfect it has been in bringing you to this point, this moment.

The perfection is in the dance, the flow, the activity.  All passing form is not real; it's all an illusion.  The reality is in the experience.  The freed being can ultimately live in and experience all the above modes of awareness simultaneously without fear or anxiety.
