THE FREEDOM ~ Oliver's thread from Avalon

Hehehe.......it wasn’t provocation. It was synchronicity as I thought recently about inner freedom. I believe that there is no freedom without having inner freedom. Lack of the inner freedom most people face reflects what is going on outside of us as I believe that everything is an inner reflection.
My stormy month on the forum was a way my soul forced me to look at this issue. I believe that it is very important for us to find our definition of freedom rather than looking what others think about freedom. It is a matter of personal growth and personal responsibility.
I know that what people think will never stop me to do what I want but it affects me emotionally, and as such, I am not free yet. I still need to do soul searching to find out what do I need to do to achieve emotional freedom. When we have the emotional freedom, we are truly free as we don’t react to others behaviors, and as such, it will not affect our joy and inspiration. We can, therefore, live our life to its fullest, freely expressing what we are.I strongly believe that if everybody were free from the issues of control and inner blockages they try to impose upon others, we we would enjoy true freedom.

Spot on, Mercury!

Ah...I so f.....g like this one!!!

The only way to deal with an unfree world
is to become so absolutely free that your
very existence is an act of rebellion.

-Albert Camus

I think there could be something in the etymology of the word Freedom

Freed - Om

Beautiful Oliver. Thank you.

Oliver, that was brilliant! Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most profound. Freeed Om. LB

Thanks Carol and Linda!

Simplicity ... how complicate is to reach it, isn't it?

However, it just comes sometimes. I really hope there is some explainable connection concerning Freed - Om. And I hope it is simple one. If explanations is needed, of course.

Great post, Mudra, thanks.
Richi Havens plays and sings this song with decades...and always with the same fire and passion.

I have no any smart quote on freedom in the moment, but I have something else -- a bit of beauty-freedom. Pieces of heaven -- music by Grande Maestro Ennio Morricone for few movies, all of them great ones. Many says Morricone's music made them legends.


"Once upon a time in America"




"Cinema Paradiso"




"Once upon a time in the west"
