Freedom
A Visionary Society Project
Personal and political freedom is a good start, but misses the mark. Freedom includes freedom from our confused idea about what we want and who we are. Is that possible?

Everyone wants to be free. It is unbearable when a tyrant is standing over you, stomping on your neck. But freedom from being controlled is just the first step in freedom. Real freedom includes freedom from ourselves – from our unknown biases, our confused, mishappen idea about what we wish for.
Is freedom even possible? We have to fight for it with every fiber of our being. To put an end to everything enjoined by nature and society. The ancient ways fall away and your mind is pliable and still. It is a new beginning under a cloudless, limitless sky.
