That is a good perspective.
Partially i think that freedom could be related to overcoming all of your fears that hold you back and prevent you from embracing the unknown.
As humans i believe we find ourselves in a difficult position. The moment we think about our state in this world we long for liberation and freedom. we crave deep down to be free from resentfulness, grudges, traumas, mistrust, complexes, reactiveness, depression, expectations, standards, self judgment etc.
Some say personal freedom is complete awareness. That it comes through a deep understanding and a deep awareness of life.
Throughout our lives, many of us fail to grow to love ourselves, and when we do find someone else who loves us, we become overwhelmed with happiness. Very quickly we throw our happiness into the other person’s hands thinking they’ll fulfill everything we desire out of life , but in doing so we have enslaved ourselves to them. How?
For example, when they connect with someone else we feel jealous. When they don’t behave the way we expect them to, we become angry. We lack so much awareness of ourselves that we blame them constantly, and in doing so we imprison them in our own cells of expectations.
When Someone cuts us off on the road, we blame them as ‘idiots’ and become angry instead of taking responsibility for our patience, tolerance and expectations of others. The truth is that we never made a deal with them that they shouldn’t behave the way they do – we only project our ideals of responsibility onto them so they don’t make our lives more difficult. We never stop to think that the key to freedom is changing something inside of us, rather than something on the outside.
To be free from all that binds you, from all that is false, Freedom from past thoughts and future expectations. Free to be, to exist, to experience joy, innocence, consciousness, and is entirely, internally of the present moment.
These are just some thoughts i had.
