Yes. we are all human. Yes, I am free and have always been free, though I didn't always recognize that. Like the Zen Master once said, "What is there at this moment that you lack?" The whole game of life and all the "inner practices" come down to the recognition that, IN THIS MOMENT, everything is absolutely perfect -- that we have everything we need. The key, of course, is KNOWING this, not just thinking about it in some kind of spiritual bypassing kind of way.
