was thinking that in many ways freedom is false notion, it comes from being separated from action, work, play , thought, etc ,
it depends on the angle of investigation ,
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Quote:
I want to know Gods thoughts; the rest are just details.
Albert Einstein
--- If our thoughts are just details then by not thinking and letting go we open up a channel that allows Gods thoughts to flow through us. Once at this level we are free to explore and gather knowledge to use in our everyday lives to make it better.
Our true freedom lies within every ones ability to access this level of thought. All that one needs is the awareness to confirm its existence.. Freedom a state of mind!
If we opened ourselves up as a channel to not receive specific knowledge but absorb ‘Gods thoughts’ as One, then since the rest are just details, they will sort themselves out on its own without us having to worry about what the future holds as the path we travel is exactly what we mapped out.

Freedom is a lie, just like you.
Now go to bed
-------------------- No one behind, no one ahead. The path the ancients cleared has closed. And the other path, everyone's path, easy and wide, goes nowhere. I am alone and find my way.

The only freedom we have is the freedom to have an attitude and behavior of our choice.
PS: To new people present in this thread and this forum. Posting someone elses idea word for word (aka direct quote) is not an argument. It is simply copy and pasting what someone else has already said. Thank you!

This doesn't seem like freedom to me, it seems like stating the obvious. What i do in my life might not matter to other people in the history of mindkind, but that's okay because what i do with my life matters to me.

IMO freedom is the ability to be honest with yourself and others about your true feelings (or at least the only kind of freedom that is at all attainable.).

Theres a difference between stating the obvious & actually realizing it, feeling it Imagine if you really understood & accepted death, how deeply calming & relaxing that could make your life...
