About This Quote
This quote is a reference to the book, "The book of John", in which Jesus says: “The truth will set you free, they say, but believe me, nothing will set you free.” The truth is that it’s not about being set free from something, but choosing to be set free. The choice to be set free comes from knowing that there is no such thing as death. The thought that there may be something beyond our material existence is what keeps us stuck in this world. Freedom comes when we begin to believe that there is no heaven or hell. There are only the different levels of existence where each level represents different levels of experience and awareness.
