Freedom is a spiritual thing and is manifested in the here and now in the way you live your life.
Freedom is a condition where that which is free can do anything according to its own volition. If there is a constraint to what it can do, then automatically it is no longer free. It has a chain, a barrier. Let us say you want to go and look at the ocean. Then you would set out on a journey to go to the seaside. The optimal route would be in a straight line to a point chosen at random. You are free to do so.
A destination spot is chosen. You set out on your way. But after some steps you encounter another body. That body considers it is the owner of the patch of dirt our body needs to walk on. Suddenly we are not free. We have to negotiate with the other to come to an agreement. Agreement reached would probably have to be reciprocal. We allow them to travel over our land in exchange for us traveling over their land. A wee bit of freedom has been given up. But wait, we are talking about things in the here and now.
How about the spiritual? The spirit is outside the here and now since it is a consciousness, an energy form that impinges on the physical universe but can not be touched by the physical universe.
Consider a spiritual being, how could it be constrained? By its own ideas and thoughts of course. Say it has the idea it is ugly. In the physical universe, that would be manifested as a body that has ugly attachments to it. Because the original condition is that the spirit is perfect, that would reflect in the here and now. Somehow there is a corruption that promotes ideas such as being ugly. It would be logical to assume that the physical manifestation would be in a perfect form, beautiful and fully operational. What could evoke a change?
An interaction in the physical universe! Another free spirit could move it's body in the vicinity of our body. Both are perfect bodies, but perhaps a circumstance could arise where an idea could creep in that would disturb the spiritual force. And it goes downhill from there.
How could we resolve the opposing intentions? Introduce a higher authority. I call my higher authority YHWH. From YHWH come ideas and suggestions. I agree to take these as milestones, markers in my journey to greater beingness. As long as others agree with the teachings from YHWH we get along fine.
This is the system I see. What is you perception of it?
freedom is an outcome of the spiritual understanding that all things are one . This is from the advait or non duality school of thought. Freedom is not a function whether one is able to do things or not. In contrary its a a function of ones ability to understand the underlying unity of all phenomena. By this understanding one is truly liberated from the everchanging or impermanent nature of this world that we live in ..
Everything passes and there is nothing new tha has not been seen before. There is only one truth and that is Jesus Christ is Lord and only two outcomes Heaven or hell. God Bless You
wow thats a really boring description
its origins are in the dualism which is the illusion
since its determined there is no freedom at all ..
even the blessing is not a blessing as there is no spirit of freedom in it
You seem to have fallen for the devils biggest lie. Do you belong to the buddhist cult by any chance?
who told you that there is the devil ?
are you by the way on any kind of antidepressants
or have you been seeing a psychiatrist
or you believe everyword of bible as the sole word of god
or you believe that there are other holy books ??
Yes i most certainly do believe every word the Bible says something that the satanically indoctrinated such as yourself cannot comprehend. There are other books that you would probably call holy but i stay away from books dictated by satan other than for research of course . By the way i don,t drink take drugs smoke or see a psychiatrist how about you? Also you never answered my question are you a slave of the buddhist cult?
so it seems that its not me but you who has been satanically indoctrinated. as ur the one who believes that there is a satan.
I on the other hand have no religion , i only believe in the unity of all life and the sacredness of all life. Bookish religion like bible are for those who have no courage to venture into Spirit. Thats why you can enjoy 2000 year old stories, u can believe in satan
The more you spout i can see how completely indoctrinated you are and a disciple of satan but don,t realise it. Many aspects of your belief system are in the doctrine of the church of satan and one thing i am sure of is that you will meet the grotesque devil unless this strong delusion is taken from you which i will pray for. God Bless Your Soul.
