One can only start truly Seeking when one stops blindly obeying societal laws, cultural regulations, &/or religious dogma.  Rules are not “made to be broken”, and yet they are never to be blindly followed either.  In fact, they are never to be followed at all.  Rather, they are to be consciously and volitionally fulfilled … As such, today is a day for you to renew your Freedom by choosing to “leave the stable quietly”  (there is no need to flaunt your “disobedience”).  This morning, take a few moments to list the rules that you most frequently obey (e.g. traffic laws, paying for goods & services, not assaulting others, etc).  Your goal today is not to break these laws, or even to skirt around them.  Rather, your mission today is to live “above” them (e.g. being overtly kind to others precludes the need to obey the laws prohibiting assault).  As an alternative, you can fulfill laws & rules voluntarily – not because you must, but because you want to (e.g. driving slower than the posted speed limit not to avoid a traffic ticket, but to respect fellow drivers) … Basically, today is a day for Being (or driving or walking) courteous – all the while being conscious that you are not “obeying the law” when doing so; you are transcending it.
