So personal freedom does not start with your circumstances then? It begins inside of you?
RB:
Yes. Some people think that if they have a big car, house, or boat, then all of their problems will go away. That's not necessarily true. People should think through what's going to make them happy. Most of the time it doesn't require all of these trappings, and once people figure that out-it's funny because all the trappings seem to accumulate around you anyway.
Personal freedom gives you the ability that, when you decide to do something--when your neurology lines up to do it-you do it with all your heart and soul. That, whether it's taking a swallow of ice tea or exercising or drawing or writing or kissing, is what you are doing, and you're doing it 100 percent.
Real freedom is not based on a personal inventory. It is based on bathing your neurology in other chemistry. Freedom is not about following rigid ideas. It is about going into a state where you find your own personal destiny. It is about having flexibility in your behavior, not rigidity. It is your ability to change your own internal state.
Personal freedom is the ability to feel what you want so that the "chains of the free" -of fear, sadness, and hate-are broken. Real personal freedom is about being able to go through and break as many of these chains as you possibly can. These chains are made up of negative feelings, limiting beliefs, and destructive behaviors. It's about being able to build the kinds of internal states that take
people to good places through curiosity.
personal freedom goes one step further than
just making good decisions. It's about learning how to think in such a way that you can make these decisions.
It's also about being able to take the good internal states and the things that you are curious about and manifesting them in your life.
