Liberation Start Here
Pre-registration options
Welcome to Liberation Unleashed. Did you know that two options are available to you even before you register?
1. You can read the books Gateless Gatecrashers or Liberation Unleashed, for details please visit our Books section. Several members have reported that things became clear to them just from reading this book.
2. Alternatively, you can work through the best pointers from Liberation Unleashed in an app named Enlightening Quotes. Over three hundred pointers are arranged into ten structured and sequenced categories.
Registration and posting on the forum
In order to post at this forum, you will need to apply for an account. To do so, take the following steps:
1. Fill out the form on the registration page. Make sure to include a valid e-mail address. Once our admins have reviewed your application and created an account for you, you will receive your account information as well as a link to your personal thread on the forum at the e-mail address specified. In the application form, we also ask you to answer some introductory questions, which we will use to set up your personal thread on the forum, requesting a guide.
We will try to review your application within 48 hours. If you haven't received a response within that period, please contact administration (or by email: admin[at]liberationunleashed.com) and we will do our best to grant you access to the forum as soon as possible.
2. Once your request has been approved, you will receive an e-mail with your username and password as well as a direct link to your thread on THE GATE forum. Your thread will consist of the introductory text you provided in the application form, so make sure to give a brief bio there, tell what you're looking for here and what you've done already. This will help in matching up a guide that resonates with you. Because we get a lot of requests for guides, it may take a while before someone responds*.
When you want to quote some text, simply select it, and in the editor press button "quote". You will see tags appear in the editor box; with the text in between the brackets. You can press preview to see how your post looks before submitting it.
*Note - Sometimes it might take several weeks until your request for a guide is responded to, due the availability of free guides at that time. Be assured this will happen; an excellent thing to do while waiting would be to read the Gateless Gatecrashers book.

How does it work?
We refer to the method used on this forum simply as Direct Pointing. Our guides are exactly that: guides, not teachers. The process is straightforward and easy, as long as you abide by three fundamental guidelines. These are the following:
1. Write from your own experience. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this; in order for any Direct Pointing session to be successful, it is your responsibility to examine your experience as it is, instead of resorting to speculation and theory-forming. The only way to see is to look for yourself..
2. Be 100% honest. Strive to be completely honest and transparent as to what is actually happening in your experience, this will make the process as smooth as possible.
3. Post regularly. We've found that it is important to create a proper momentum in order to successfully carry out this investigation. What's needed is focus and intensity. The only way to enable these is to strive to post at least once a day.
A word of advice
When writing a long post in the text editor, it might be a good idea to periodically copy and paste your text into notepad or another text editor on your computer, as it is not uncommon to be logged off automatically and lose all your text.
Concerning Liberation
We are fully aware of the fact that the term “Liberation” has different meanings in different traditions. In order to not set up false expectations, we'd like to make it clear that we use the word in a very specific way. In the context of Liberation Unleashed, liberation refers to the clear, unambiguous and direct realisation of the absence of a separate self. Because not everyone, perhaps no one comes to the Gate without at least some degree of latent tendencies, what we refer to as liberation may not be what you expect of it. Seeing self for what it really is - a story, does not mean that your life is suddenly upgraded in every conceivable way. Old habits, beliefs, programming and conditioning will very probably remain in place. Awakening from the story of you allows old patterns to drop away quickly. The foundation upon which these patterns were based is gone. In this sense, liberation is just the beginning.
Some remarks
For more information, please read the FAQ page on the website. By reading the above, it will have become clear to you that The Gate is a different type of forum than what you may be used to. This is not a general spiritual discussion group. We thank you for respecting this. Thank you for your time. Welcome to Liberation Unleashed... the Gate.
