The mind may have all sorts of stories of how it will be when there is more clarity.
One is that there will be no consequences of our actions, and that we can do what we want without repercussions.
This is one of the “dreams of the ego”.
The reality of it is much simpler and more ordinary, at least in my experience.
There are, of course, still consequences – of our actions, choices, emotions, thoughts etc. Consequences happen in an ordinary way.
We may not believe our thoughts about it, so the coarse or gross (dis)stress may not be there. (Or it’s at least not resisted in the same way.) This makes it much easier.
And yet, when we go against our inner guidance, our heart, our authenticity, is still doesn’t feel right.
In fact, the more clear we are, and the more we recognize all as love, the more painful it is to go against our guidance, our heart, and our authenticity.
In that sense, there is less freedom in clarity. Or, more accurately, there is still freedom to go against guidance, heart and authenticity, yet the consequences are more clear and painful to us. And yet, that’s a small – or actually no – price to pay for living from clarity and love.
I still get caught in fear and beliefs, and sometimes go against my guidance and heart. When that happens, it’s helpful to feel the pain of doing so.

………….
– when clear….
— stil get consequences, of actions, behavior, choices etc. (in an ordinary way)
— may not believe thoughts about it, so coarse/gross stress may not be there
— and yet, may also not feel right, if go against inner guidance/heart/integrity/authenticity
And yet, I will gladly give that up for living in more clarity and love.
