Have been thinking a lot just recently about what it means to be 'Free' and what really is 'Freedom.' And I thought it might make an interesting topic of conversation. So, if you have a 'free' moment, let me know what you think 🙂
Hi Derek
Good question. For me trying to live each moment as it is, not how my mind or my memories want to perceive it. Living from the true me (minus all the stories I've made up about me and people and situations blah blah blah) in the true now. Then I feel light and free. Very much work in progress... this chink is just shining through! More please. Would love to know what others think and how they have achieved it, thanks for that question Derek.

Hi Derek 🙂 ,
I'd like to know what to be 'Free' and 'Freedom' means to you?
'Freedom' was yesterday afternoon, when the sun was so warm and the day so beautiful.
I took my trusty old bicycle and cycled along a quiet single track road to my private (river) swimming pool. It's always quiet, although a few people know about it. It's also quite a distance from footpaths - freedom to skinny dip in the sunshine.
Wonderful. I had the time, I had the opportunity, no one stopped me - my daily dose of freedom.
Whole books have been written about this question alone. Mainly, it seems, they highlight that we cannot be free as long as that freedom depends on outer circumstances, as then we will always be hooked to them in some way.
True freedom, therefore, would mean freedom from our social conditioning, our self-image and our view of the world. 🙂
