Unity is attained by realizing that by giving and receiving eternal mercy to and from all, one overcomes eternal imprisonment.  Freedom is attained by realizing that by giving and receiving eternal redemption to and from all, one overcomes eternal abandonment.  Imprisonment is fear perception of infinite order with no way out (ultimate connection, being surrounded, no movement, no freedom).  Abandonment is the fear perception of infinite disorder with no way in (ultimate disconnection, being outcasted, no order, no unity).

When the fear state of imprisonment is overcome by embodying mercy & compassion – and ultimate connection is perceived as togetherness, interconnectedness – this is the attainment of Unity. Unity is the state of integration, interconnectedness, wholeness, balanced within and without – and the feeling is like receiving and giving mercy, safety, support, protection, compassion. When the fear state of abandonment is overcome by embodying redemption & autonomy – and ultimate disconnection is perceived as release – this is the attainment of Freedom. Freedom is the state of liberation, release, movement, opportunity – and the feeling is like receiving and giving redemption, opportunity, newness, excitement, autonomy.

When one overcomes the fear of imprisonment and instead perceives Unity, and when one overcomes the fear of abandonment, and instead perceives Freedom – and brings them into balance within oneself, one has embodied the way of Unity & Freedom, the way of Peace, Happiness, Balance & Harmony.

When one embodies the way of Unity & Freedom, one embodies compassion, gratitude, forgiveness and humility.

To embody the way of Unity & Freedom is to embody the way of Compassionate Autonomy. Unity & Freedom is a perception of existence that allows one to be beyond fear and to be at eternal peace in existence (the experience of eternal change).
