Creating Sacred Space is the Art of Being Free

[Christophe Horvath]

There is no space when we are attached to past, to knowledge, to opinion, to judgment,
to our story
about how things are and should be
about who we are and what we should be.

Then we have filled it already to the brim -
full with our old self, without space for new awareness.

Freedom is freedom from external boundaries
Freedom from authority
Freedom from having to follow in the footsteps of others - philosophies, religions, ideologies, whatever

And Freedom is freedom from internal boundaries
Freedom from the pain-body,
Freedom from all the opinion, knowledge and judgment that comes with clinging to the past

It is owning - instead of being owned by -
our so called "identity", "personality" - which is all nothing but story
our being right and making wrong
our looking good
our thoughts & feelings
our thrownness
our ego

Freedom is travelling light
Is being present, aware, conscious
being in creation, rather than in reaction, in every moment

There can only truly be Space when we are simple, open, with beginner's mind
Without stuckness in opinion, knowledge or being right about anything

Freedom is being open to the new
embracing surprises of any kind
Always ready to play


"Be like Children and the Gates of Heaven will Open to you"
- As a matter of fact, you will see that they always were :>)
