Describe "Freedom" in no more than 3 sentences

[Mashika]

What is freedom for you, what does it represent? If you don't mind, please describe what that word represents in full, following this if possible

1. What you grew up thinking freedom means
2. What you hope freedom means for your future generations
3. What you think other people see as freedom (in other places outside your country)
4. Do you think other people are wrong about what freedom is? If so, which groups of people or how do you consider them to be wrong about the meaning of it?

Open questions actually, please feel free to go beyond the basic points above

:thumbsup:

[Mashika]

"Freedom of [Fill in a purpose or situation here]"

That's a good template

Freedom of [speech]
Freedom of [killing someone]
Freedom of [gathering rain water]
Freedom of [raising your own food]
Etc and etc

Freedom of speech is a very usual thing, but it's a "species in danger" these days. Because, you can speak about anything you want, but 'Can you speak about anything you want without repercussions?"

You sure can speak up, but other people can also say "this person spoke up in a way i don't like, so i'm free to kill them because of it". So free to speak, but there will be consequences. No one will stop you from speaking, they will actually encourage you to speak up your mind, but then the consequences may be fatal.

Twisting meanings and situations around is easy, see?

Cancel culture is a perfect example, as well

[Bill Ryan]

The right to one's own sanity — i.e. to think and feel and made personal decisions clearly and with full awareness without any external manipulation or malevolent influence.



The right to one's own self-determinism — to be able to say or do, (or not say or not do!) anything one wishes as long as one doesn't harm others without just cause.

(Is that no more than 3 sentences? :P )

[ian33]

Detachment...from past experience, is when i have felt totally free

[Sérénité]

I grew up thinking freedom meant the ability to have your own mind, your own opinions, to voice your own needs…and being able to speak up on all of those things without prejudice, ignorance or punishment.
I also grew up realising that freedom was both an inside and outside job.

If you can’t travel outwards, travel inwards.

I hope future generations are able to think and travel freely.
Something so many took for granted for so long and now it’s being slowly taken from us.
So I hope generations to come can live freely, travel freely, speak freely.

I guess freedom is subjective. To the cage bird it’s just getting out into the room, to the wild bird it’s being able to soar the skies or flit from tree to tree.
To the battery chicken, freedom is getting a little extra space in the crowds and surviving the day.

I don’t think anyones opinion of freedom is wrong. Their experience they are here to learn and evolve through will dictate what freedom means.

But the most important part of freedom to me is that we should all be allowed to live out our own version of freedom, whether it be travel, speech, way of life…as we wish.
So long as we do no harm to others in the process 🕊

Slightly more than 3 sentences but I humbly request the freedom to limitless words of expression 😆

[Bill Ryan]

I humbly request the freedom to limitless words of expression 😆Exactly!! Why are we so restricted in this thread? :P

[Mashika]

I humbly request the freedom to limitless words of expression 😆

Lmao, "I can't breath" comes to mind just now :) xi xi xi

It reminded me of "can i say something?" and then "sure you can" and then "can I ?" followed by "sure, IF you can move your mouth"

lol

Even oppression comes in the way of hugs and smiles these days

[ian33]

Detachment...from past experience, is when i have felt totally free

i got close to this when hitching around europe with no particular destination, living in the moment and accepting everything that came my way
..according to my grammar school headmaster i achieved it..in my final school report, he simply wrote.."he has managed to maintain an unruffled detachment the whole way through"...great days
...the internet encourages attachment to ideas, which is a bind

[OmeyocaN777]

Freedom means that you can go anywhere, anytime you are in love with...

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Answering a little more abstractly here, because the philosophical perspective is to me more interesting than bland political constructs.

Freedom at its fundamental core is independence. Pure independence. But that can only be achieved with pure solitude, which just isn't possible, unless you choose to live alone in the wilderness, totally off-grid.

True freedom can never be achieved in any population greater than 1. If at least one other individual exists, you are obligated to honour their freedom, and that will always be at the expense of your own. Just a tiny thing, like making room for someone to pass in a supermarket aisle is a loss of your freedom. Not that that's a bad thing at all, it isn't.

Because humanity is one huge cooperative. In order for it to function with its freedoms intact a degree of personal freedom - your freedom - must be sacrificed. That's the only way it can work.

[scotslad]

Freedom is the ability to make mistakes and nothing but the opportunity to do better and apply the learning from those mistakes ;)

[Harmony]

It could be that all perceptions of freedom are only a personal perspective as everyone has parameters, limitations and boundaries that may be physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and they continually may change.


Everything we choose affects something or someone.


Maybe it is we freely choose to navigate the world the best we know how, the will to keep learning because we want to, maybe not because it's easier or the most fun sometimes.

[pacificator]

Freedom to learn and educate
Freedom to appreciate differences
Freedom to receive and give
Freedom to make your path as wise and as best you can
Freedom to respect others
Freedom to love and care

[bogeyman]

No more freedom
It don't exist
There isn't any

[thepainterdoug]

Freedom to be able to choose my own destiny in life style, occupation, religion, travel, enjoyment and leisure within the laws of a free society such as the USA under its original established constitution and bill of rights created by its forefathers to insure these freedoms and protections.
Basically, Let me say and do what I feel , while being responsible for it ,under these laws.

[Inversion]

Freedom seems to be a universal desire and possibly a right. I heard a story years ago of a created being escaping from a facility because it wanted freedom. It's alleged the glyphs on the I-beam recovered from the Roswell crash translates to freedom. From another source that seemingly has to be posted somewhere on a craft in order to enter the realm of earth.

alien research (https://alienresearch.fandom.com/wiki/Roswell_I-beam)

It’s said that the Elephtheria beam is broken off at one end, where the first symbol is, in the inscription set. It would have represented the first letter in E-l-e-ph-th-e-r-i-a, where the E ("Epsilon") appears to be missing.[2] The Greek word Elephtheria means "freedom".[4]

Drunvalo Melchizedek claims we draw experiences through our south pole. The component of freedom must work in harmony with that for us to acquire our incarnational experiences.

S78/P26. The first distortion is free will, the second is love & third is light.

[Merkaba360]

"Do no harm" could be argued to be the golden rule or a golden rule. So, it is probably best if we stop freely killing animals with complex nervous systems.

But outside the issue of food. There are potential consequences if I harm someone verbally. Even though, they are actually harming themself. Yet, I am aware that I can make others feel pain with words due to being in an ignorant state of consciousness. However, if they choose to physically kill harm or kill me in return, they also have more serious consequences to pay. Like rotting in a hellish prison for decades. So, i guess the consequences tend to get worse with each harmful step.

The main issue for me is that there can be no criminal offense, if their is no victim or danger of putting someone in harms way, like reckless driving. Everything else can only be a reasonable monetary fine. I want the freedom to harm myself and not live in a nanny state with paternalistic laws. Drugs are a big one that falls into this category. If someone wants to snort lines of cocaine in their home and have fun, it is their right. I dont care if undeveloped people need the law to act like their father, I am not in the same category. I can score high on all their tests. So, give me a special license for my achievements in high intelligence/awareness/psych development/emotional intelligence/etc. Then, If the imbeciles must have more laws, I should be exempt.
I dont care if someone lazy to develop themself thinks it is unfair. Tell them to get to work. lol

Mark is only correct about sacrificing freedoms for the cooperative because of the level of consciousness. If we evolve much more, most the current sacrifices become unnecessary.

THe amount of laws making it so hard to succeed in business is pretty insane. Freedom of commerce should be higher.

[Strat]

The question can be translated in differently I think, I don't know I'm tired.

The boring answer is that it is like a tiered system. At one level you are someone living essentially by yourself and you do everything alone. You rely on yourself for everything. There's nobody around so you don't have to debate or agree on anything with anyone, it's just you so you're free to do as you wish, when you wish and where you wish. This is total freedom but IMO it's not desirable.

As you move up the tiered system, freedoms are naturally stripped away. You have to come to agreements with others and abide by them (like laws).

Of course, governments and cultures have different laws/rights/freedoms but the salient point I am making is an inescapable pattern of life.

EDIT: Just now read Mark's reply. I should have read that first, my bad. I'm basically echoing his post. He's correct 100%

[I am B]

Imho, "freedom" is like "god". It is risky, and imo impossible to put it into words, because any definite noun/word, would undermine the very essence of it.

[yelik]

Free to do what I want, when I want and how I want. However there has to be some ground rules broadlly like the 10 commandments.

The elites have a certain freedom that money can buy, but, when anything goes chaos, destruction and demons follow

[JackMcThorn]

When I was growing up in amerika we were taught that Liberty is God-given and Freedom is government-given.

Liberty is the state of 'being free'...

Further, I subscribe to 'do no harm' with a provision for 'self-defence'.

[norman]

What is the difference between 'Freedom' and 'Individuation' ?

I think the answer is subtly more than 'intent', but that divides the secular from the faithful, and I don't see how there can be any real secular freedom, outside of elitism and 'I'm all right Jack' (ism).

[Mikeyboy]

I suspect my soul knows what ‘Freedom’ is but I think we only have the illusion. We cannot do whatever we want otherwise surely there would be chaos. We don’t want to accept our loss of freedom so we create an illusion and pretend that we are free. We will be truly free (again) when we pop our clogs!
But while we’re here (planet) if we all agreed through our free will, to help and not hurt each other that could lead to something.

wyksogsIwt4

This is a good thread of considerable importance, thx.

[Craig]

Merely being on this planet means we truly aren't free, and until we can leave we never will be?

Whilst forced through the cycle of death and rebirth we will never be free. Just need to finish our never ending sentence.

[Mike]

Just to play devil's advocate a little...

I don't think we came to this planet for freedom. I think we came here to escape it in some sense.

If you begin with the premise that we're souls inhibiting a human body, and that soul is eternally free, you might then wonder why we'd forfeit that freedom temporarily to come here.

And that's because God (or whatever one wishes to call God) needs boundaries to experience itself. It's needs relativity. It needs to separate itself into this and that. If it's just one large, never-ending, amorphous field of energy then it can't experience itself.

In short, in needs to restrict itself in order to experience itself. It's an old Jewish idea. And it makes sense to me.

And if we accept that our souls are small bits of God, carrying out this mission, you might then say that this restriction of freedom is productive in some ways. Even necessary.

Here on earth we're restricted in all sorts of ways, and many of those ways are existential and not put upon us by any outside source. I can't fly like a bird, for instance.

But freedom on earth mostly means, to me, freedom of speech. Because freedom of speech is freedom of thought, essentially. That freedom of speech should be limited in very few instances (threats of violence for example). And after that, it means the freedom to assemble, to practice whatever religion one wants to practice(or not practice) , to own property, and to move as one pleases(without invading other's space or territory)

We should strive to be as free as humanly possible. We'll never be perfectly free here on earth, but I don't think we're meant to be.

[Wind]

To be allowed to be what I am. I am not my body, I am consciousness inhabiting this body.

The body which has it's limitations and sufferings due to ailments related to past issues and such.

While I might be imprisoned by my body, I can still be free spiritually and mentally. However, if I am not allowed to do what I want with my consciousness and body then I don't feel very free. Society at large does not allow people to be fully free, we are only free within certain parameters and people accept that to a great degree.

Good people have never needed and never will need laws to tell them what is right or wrong, yet I can understand why society does have to have certain kind of "rules" and structures. Spiritual laws are their own thing, they're always at play. People are "free" in a sense to do anything they want, but if they go harming or affecting others in a negative, harmful way then that too will sooner or later come back at them. It's just how the energy always rebounds back, so experience teaches that way too. So there can be more empathy and compassion by seeing things from another angle. By feeling things from the perspective of other beings who are not so very different from you.

"You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind."

"The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states."

~ Mahatma Gandhi

That's very good Mike. If God, the Creator is limitless and all-encompassing then what's the opposite of that? To be limited. To be a human being is to know how it feels to be limited in certain ways and also to know suffering because of that and through our feeling of seeming separation. That's not a punishment, but it's for the sake of an experience. Why do we choose that? That's another topic, but in short we are just all Creator or the universe experiencing itself in human form. That's how consciousness grows and evolves.

Freedom is to not allow others to control you. All laws are ignored, except, harm no others.

To expand a bit more, I may have posted before, but one time I asked my Grandpa why he joined the army to fight in ww1.

He said he thought about for a few days before joining, then realized without freedom you are nothing more than a hamster in cage, running on a wheel.

He did not want to be that hamster.

[truthseek]

simplistic perhaps, but isn't that what life should be? The following "oldie but goodie" just about sums it up for me:

gwoIGGzsfS0

[shaberon]

When I was young, it was part of a song, flag worship, which is what it meant, worship the flag.

Beyond that, I would say it means you are responsible for Trespass (https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/trespass.html), which is most familiar as "breaking the plane" of another's property (land), which is imperative to the principle of Private Property, but is also true if you "break the plane" of their body, and so forth, if you inflict an actual damage or injury, you are liable, not otherwise, but we are surrendered to a false law that presumes guilt because we are Residents (vagrants, status criminals, paupers-at-law), false in the sense it is not a true representation of Christ, it is anti-Christ.

I am not a Christian but I will respect it due to the fact it is this Biblical subject which shaped the original American law, and from there it is easy to trace the steps by which it has been--surrendered by us, but, still exists, so it has been more or less overwritten by statutory law.

[Johnnycomelately]

So here’s my version of the South Park Haiku version take, might be out of order:

Freedom, we all love,
but how do we honour it.
Not much else to say.

Here on Earth challenged,
nary a day of peace yo.
Sumptin’ wrong with me?

Better not say much,
all of my weakness revealed.
How did I get here?

Hard not to feel bad,
when feeling so constrained so,
‘cause me me me me.

Freedom is like gold,
when you have it you’re happy.
Go find and mine that.

[mizo]

Ability to communicate freely between you, yourself and [your] God/Maker/Spirit/ Gaia.
To be able to reach to your fullest human potential -to live life; follow your dreams without any restraints, constructs or boundaries.
Freedom means to having the capability to just say 'No!'
Being awake from the “Seat of the Soul” through unlocking our pineal gland...

Sorry that's 4 :shielddeflect:

[Johnnycomelately]

Found a clip where a man expresses his love of freedom, names some things that that means to him. American, in a speech setting, I don’t know either. Please see 1:45:12 to 146:00 (the end).

I found the rest of the vid to be full of info new to me, spys’ and criminals’ network stuff. Could anyone suggest a best thread to post this thing?

[Ernie Nemeth]

Freedom in the human form is not possible. The best that can be expected is that the individual is unfettered by excessive overreach by the society they live in. In that context freedom becomes a living tribute to liberty - the liberty to make choices based on one's own internal vocation and the available resources to make it a reality.

[Suzi E]

Perhaps freedom may be described as : - ..... '' Not to be beholden to anybody or anything. ''

[cannawizard]

my interpretation ---

the natural state of every manifested sentient being~

(free) (dom)

[DaveToo]

As is evidenced by the variety of replies so far we can see that there likely won't be a consensus here as to its meaning.

I won't attempt to describe it, but I will say this.

Before this plandemic started I used to think Canada was one of the best places (if not the best) to live in the world.
Freedom formed a big part of that mindset.

All that has changed, just in the span of a couple of years. I fear I will never regain the freedoms I had and could very possibly have to forfeit even more.

Shrug this off, carry on making do, things will be OK. Or, hope for a big asteroid? ~8O

[Mike Gorman]

Free-dom, the domain of the free. When I was a little fellow I thought a great deal about freedom, I seemed to strain, and buck against constraint of every kind, my mother told me I was a little lightening bolt as an infant, and she related the story of when the welfare nurse came to visit. Back in the late 1950's/60's in England it was customary for the local health authorities to check on newborn babies, and toddlers in the local community to ensure they were being cared for 'properly', being fed, and flourishing - very benevolent!

Anyway, one of these community welfare nurses came to visit when I was just 2 years old, my mother told me that I was incredibly animate, rushing about placing potatoes in drawers, and being very busy! The nurse told my mother that I should be 'restrained'!

I was one of those kids who tended to wander, and get into mischief, that is my nature to this day, I am intensely curious, interested in many, many subjects and I appreciate the latitude, and space in which to execute on my inclinations.
Of course, I did not take to school very well, the rules and disciplined order drove me to distraction, it took me many years to adjust. Meanwhile I educated myself with thousands of books, and plenty of rambling, and adventuring.

Freedom to me involves creating the situation whereby individuals can pursue their interests and projects without being constrained, or directed by overarching authorities, OF COURSE this has to be tempered with the caveat that you 'do no harm', and also respect the freedom of others.
Social freedom must include the absence of interference with the lives of individuals, the provision of opportunities for growth, learning, exploration, experimentation with ideas and projects.

The conditions of freedom should also provide for useful work in exchange for the means to live, and prosper.

I suppose this is the classical British 'liberal' philosophy, we do not favor intrusion by government, or social authorities, we appreciate that 'good order' must be kept, and violence and predatory behavior deterred and prevented from obstructing people to pursue their own version of happiness and the good life.

Freedom is the ultimate goal, objective for human civilization, this is the only decent path; any creed, or ideology that works against this ambition is thoroughly evil.

Apologies for the wordage, I couldn't constrain myself to a short sentence, I accept all responsibility.

[Anchor]

--

Freedom is to complete absence of any constraint - such that one may "walk the universe" with unfettered tread.

I desire to remain free to express love and light in my being, to pursue my vision for the earth and the life of all beings in and on her, to help those that wish to be helped. I want the freedom to teach and learn, learn and teach, and evolve into that one that can walk the universe unconstrained.

1. Freedom means that I can always play and no need to go to scool, work, marry.

2.I hope the human beings can free in love, jobs.

I also want to share Xuefeng's opinion on Freedom


The meaning and level of freedom
Xuefeng

像雄鹰恣意翱翔在高远空旷的蓝天，
像骏马奔驰在一望无际的辽阔草原，
尽情挥洒随性绽放没有疆域和羁绊，
天马行空随心所欲穿越时空的浩瀚。


Like an eagle soaring freely in the high and empty blue sky,
Like a steed galloping across the endless grasslands,
Free to sway freely and bloom without boundaries and fetters,
Travel through the vastness of time and space at will.


　　追求自由，是宇宙所有生命的不懈努力和终极追求。

The pursuit of freedom is the unremitting efforts and ultimate pursuit of all beings in the universe.

　　“不自由，毋宁死。”这是两百多年前北美为了从英国统治下获得独立而由美国政治家帕特里克.亨利在费吉尼亚议会演说中的一句追求自由的呐喊。这句话的原意是“要么给我自由，要么把我杀了。”

"Be free or die." This is a cry of freedom pursued by American statesman Patrick Henry in his speech to the Virginia Parliament more than 200 years ago in order to gain independence from British rule in North America. The original meaning of the sentence was "set me free or kill me."

　　“生命诚可贵，爱情价更高，若为自由故，二者皆可抛。”这是一百八十年前匈牙利为了摆脱奥地利帝国奴役而由匈牙利诗人裴多斐在《自由与爱情》中的一首歌颂自由之歌。

"Life is precious, and love is more expensive. If it is freedom, both can be thrown away." This is the Hungarian poet Petofi in "Freedom and Love" 180 years ago in order to get rid of the slavery of the Austrian Empire. A song of liberty.

　　自由，你是宇宙最艳丽的花卉，你是展翅高翔的万里云天，你是一泻千里无拘无束的奔腾江河，你是无边无际尽情遨游的碧海波澜，你是极乐天，在你的怀抱里，没有恐惧担忧防范只有安全，没有约束羁绊只有如来本性的妖 冶灿烂。

Freedom, you are the most beautiful flower in the universe, you are the sky that spreads its wings high, you are the galloping river that rushes without restraint, you are the boundless blue sea and waves, you are the heaven of bliss, in your arms, there is no fear or worry There is only security for prevention, and there is no restraint and fetters, only the flirtatious splendor of the Tathagata's nature.

　　自由最圣神最让人向往，自由最妩媚最令人迷恋，自由最性感最使人心驰神荡，自由最庄严最叫人获得尊严。

Freedom is the most holy and most desirable, freedom is the most charming and fascinating, freedom is the sexiest and most inspiring, freedom is the most solemn and most dignified.

　　什么是自由？自由就是“随心所欲不逾矩。”自由就是尽情绽放如来本性，自由就是不妨碍社会和他人及不伤害大自然的前提下想咋样就咋样，自由就是释放爱的气息而一路没有干涉和阻拦，自由就是在无垠的时空尽情驰骋 随意往来而没有任何桎梏、约束和羁绊。

What is freedom? Freedom is "do whatever you want without breaking the rules." Freedom is to fully bloom the nature of the Tathagata. Freedom is to do whatever you want without interfering with society, others, and without harming nature. Freedom is to release the breath of love without interference or obstruction along the way. , freedom is to gallop freely in the boundless time and space without any shackles, constraints and fetters.

　　自由是上帝赋予生命的天赋权利。

Freedom is a the Greatest Creator-given natural right to life.

　　在自由的世界里，没有烦恼、痛苦、焦虑和忧愁，更没有害怕、恐惧、防范和担忧，自由的世界里，只有开心、快乐、幸福和惬意，只有逍遥、飘逸、美妙和无限的心旷神怡。

In a free world, there is no trouble, pain, anxiety and sorrow, let alone fear, fear, precaution and worry. In a free world, there is only happiness, joy, happiness and comfort, only carefree, elegant, wonderful and infinite relaxation.


　　自由有三层境界，第一层：忍把浮名，换了浅唱低吟。一蓑烟雨任平生。杏花疏影里，吹笛到天明；第二层：看万山红遍，层林尽染；漫江碧透，百舸争流。鹰击长空，鱼翔浅底，万类霜天竞自由；第三层：跳出三界外，不 在五行中，天涯海角驰骋纵横。

There are three levels of freedom:

The First level: Better to barter empty fame,
For the pleasures of good wine and sweet song.
In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.
In the dreamy shades of apricot flowers,
In the spring that seemed no bound,
Singing and playing the flute till dawn;

The Second level: I see a thousand hills crimsoned through
By their serried woods deep-dyed
And a hundred barges vying
Over crystal blue waters.
Eagles cleave the air,
Fish glide in the limpid deep;
Under freezing skies a million creatures contend in freedom;

The Third layer: jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements, freely travel around the whole Earth.

　　如何达至自由的三重境界？

How to achieve the three levels of freedom?

　　超凡脱俗可达第一自由境界，使天下处处祥和温馨可达第二自由境界，聆听神佛仙圣教诲走上帝之道可达自由的第三重境界。

Being above the common and free from vulgarity can reach the first level of freedom.
Making the world peaceful and warm can reach the second level of freedom.
Listening to the teachings of gods, Buddhas, immortals and saints and walking the way of God can achieve the third level of freedom.

　　在自由的第一层境界，可以心无所住宁静安详享受大自然赋予的美妙乐章；在自由的第二层境界，人皆尧舜，长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天。尽行处，妙难言，醉了山川；在自由的第三层境界，扬起一捧沙，绿树千千万，天 马行空自由驰骋，幻化无限美景。

In the first level of freedom, we can enjoy the wonderful movement given by nature in peace and tranquility;
in the second level of freedom, everyone can be Yao and Shun, outside the pavilion, along the ancient road, the grass is green. Wherever you go, it is indescribable, and you are drunk by mountains and rivers;
in the third level of freedom, you ca raise a handful of sand to make it into thousands of green trees, gallop freely in the universe, and transform into infinite beauty.

　　自由万岁！让我们挥洒青春时光弹奏青春乐章走出必然王国迈向自由王国，我知道自由之路，请随我来，让我牵着你的手奔向自由的山岗，去尽情歌舞弹唱，去饱览山川美景，去享受生命无穷无尽的美妙时光。

Long live freedom! Let us sway the youthful time and play the youthful music. Walk out of the kingdom of necessity and move towards the kingdom of freedom.
