Liberation

I am writing this blog to explore the topic of liberation—liberation from fear, anxiety, pleasures, riches, and desires. Everyone seeks freedom. History shows us that no one is content with being enslaved and always strives to escape the chains of bondage.

It has been deeply ingrained in our minds that we should constantly strive to acquire wealth and pleasures. But the most important question is often overlooked: Will these riches bring lasting happiness? Is this happiness truly permanent?

True liberation lies in freedom from attachment, fear, jealousy, and greed. It is also about liberation from the need for someone else to validate our worth or to feel loved. Ask yourself: Do I need someone to make me feel loved, or can I experience love within myself? Do I need someone else to bring me happiness and joy, or can I be content on my own?

In the last few years of my life, I have learned to find happiness in my own company. Is attachment to a person—or the need for someone else to feel loved—really necessary? When we become attached to someone or something, we depend on it to fulfill our needs and desires. This attachment creates a bond that ties our emotions to their actions, giving them power over our inner peace. But how can we free ourselves from these emotions? Are these emotions truly ours? Or are we merely observers of them?

When we examine closely, we might see that both the giver and receiver of these emotions are the same. Are we genuinely attached to people or objects, or are we attached to the emotions they evoke in us? One way to find liberation is to recognize our unity with eternity. When we realize our oneness with the universe, we begin to see ourselves in everything and everyone. This perspective allows us to detach from transient emotions—emotions that arise from the past of the body we inhabit. In this way, we spread love both within and everywhere we go.

When you recognize your oneness with the universe and nature, you begin to see pain and suffering as temporary and tied to the material world. You can distance yourself from emotions and pain. The truth is that suffering is a natural part of existence; it has no final resolution. Emotions like jealousy, loneliness, anxiety, fear, and anger will ebb and flow, constantly shifting. The only true liberation is to see yourself as part of a greater consciousness, as an inseparable part of the whole. There is no individual consciousness—only unity.

When you feel an emotion, you are not truly experiencing it—it is simply a phase of life passing through the body you inhabit. Isn't this recognition—the awareness that you are not the emotions themselves but the witness of them—the true path to liberation?

Leading retail workers activist to retire after long stint

Usdaw General Secretary Paddy Lillis Announces Retirement

Leading retail trade union Usdaw general secretary Paddy Lillis is set to retire in July after serving seven years in the role.

Lillis has been a full-time official at Usdaw for over 35 years. He had previously held the post of deputy general secretary for 14 years.

In his time as General Secretary, Lillis has overseen the launch of a number of high-profile Usdaw campaigns, including a Retail Recovery Plan and the New Deal for Workers.

He has worked with retailers and employers’ groups, such as the British Retail Consortium, to highlight the issues facing the retail sector, and led campaigns calling for clear government action.

Lillis has also driven forward the Union’s Freedom From Fear campaign, which delivered new legal protections for shop workers in Scotland, with England, Wales and Northern Ireland set to follow suit.

He serves on the TUC Executive Committee and TUC General Council, and he is a member of the TUC Anti-Racism Taskforce. He has also introduced a programme of work within Usdaw to improve representation of Black members at all levels in the Union.

Speaking about his retirement, Lillis said, “It has been a real privilege to serve Usdaw over the years and I feel proud of what we have achieved together.

“My time as General Secretary has brought many challenges, but I will be retiring with the Union in very good shape financially and with growing membership.

“The Union has campaigned tirelessly for many years for increased protection for retail workers and stronger rights at work, and I will be leaving at a time when the Labour Government will be delivering on some of our campaigns.”

Dave McCrossen, Deputy General Secretary, has also announced he will be retiring in July after seven years in the role. Dave has been a full-time official for over 35 years.

A former employee of the Co-operative Retail Society, McCrossen started his Usdaw career when he became an Area Organiser in 1989.

16 years later he was promoted to Deputy Divisional Officer. Working closely with Lillis, he was responsible for developing the organising agenda within the Division and seeing it grow from 39,000 members to more than 65,000.

In 2014, he was successful in securing the position of Divisional Officer.
