Freedom from work, from family's conditioning, from societal
norms one can add on infinitum. However, freedom to be entails the
courage to be despite the rejection despite the odds - it
presupposes one is an end unto oneself.
In other words, one is self-fulfilled, a porous self and one can
be and do but one never encroaches or uses something/another to be
free.
Lots of people want to be free but the erroneous stance is that
something outside of oneself will do it. It wont and even when it
happens it is a short-lived phenomena.
The wise would reject nothing but wisely partake of what is and
still be from that which one partakes of. The rejection or the
disapproval comes in cos one is mired in conceptualized models. The
self with all its conditioning, programming + defintions is the
obstacle. Hence the divided, the inner split, the misery, the
anguish, the anxiety.
Let me reiterate - it is an inward process. Now everyone or
almost all are trying to live from the outside IN. Trying to
live is not live - it is inherently flawed - one is waiting for
something/someone to fulfil or conditions to be fulfilled.
However, when one is intergrated from within it is
different expereince altogether. Personality is added to one's
centre it forms a crust. Individuality is from within and no crust
forms. Indivisible is individuality. Reconciling or at least
understaning these dichotomizing/polarising elements is
helpful.
