Is this freedom or a self-imposed prison?

We wake up and do what we don't want to do because we have been conditioned by the ego. The ego creates a false sense of identity and attaches us to roles, responsibilities, and societal expectations. We follow these patterns out of fear, seeking approval and avoiding discomfort.

It's a self-imposed prison because it confines us to a limited and unsatisfying existence. We become slaves to external demands and lose touch with our true desires and inner guidance. We voluntarily lock ourselves into a cell of conformity and fear.

True freedom comes from recognizing the ego's influence and choosing to align with the Holy Spirit's guidance instead. When we become aware of our ego-driven actions and questioning their validity, we break free from our self-imposed prisons into a life guided by love, purpose, and authentic self-expression.
