Isaiah 49:9 · World English Bible
saying to those who are bound, ‘Come out!’; to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves!’ “They shall feed along the paths, and their pasture shall be on all treeless heights.
The prison is one the mind builds around itself, its walls made of thought, of fear, of the story you keep telling about who you are. Go forth is not spoken to some distant future but to you, now.

EGO & BEING
The prison is one the mind builds around itself, its walls made of thought, of fear, of the story you keep telling about who you are. Go forth is not spoken to some distant future but to you, now. The door was never locked from outside; it opens the instant you awaken from your thinking into the simple awareness of this moment.
Once free, those released are fed everywhere they walk. When you live from awareness rather than compulsion, nourishment is no longer confined to some future arrival. This moment, wherever you happen to stand, becomes the high pasture where you are sustained.
Ego v. Being lens
What door have I been standing in front of, assuming it was locked?
The mind makes the world it lives in. The chains you feel were forged out of thinking, which is why they can be set down.
People are not disturbed by things but by the view they take of them. Change the view and the prison walls move.
A man clutches a rope in the dark, sure it is a snake, until the light shows the rope. Nothing was removed, he just saw clearly.
