Perpetual Freedom

No one is free today because of yesterday.

Freedom is the force that renews this universe out of the void every day and every moment. It is a source of endless energy with infinite possibilities.

You are free when you take part in that endlessness. When you never stand still. When you are forever escaping the confines of today to create a wide-open tomorrow.

Freedom I see the light in the darkness. Every day is chance to set it free. Reply

No one is free today because of yesterday. I agree with this - and because of that I cannot fully agree with the rest of this post.
All of us have "baggage" - some good, some bad.
In this light, can we ever really be "free?"
Can we really just "wipe out" our past experiences? Surely they must affect us - and therefore can we ever really be free?
Some psychiatrists and psychologists have spent many years writing on this subject - adding that even a baby is not "free" as he/she comes into our world carrying traits etc. of his/her parents. Reply

You are free when you take part in that endlessness. When you never stand still.

Rabbi,

Please note, God told Moses to "Have no fear! Stand by, and witness the deliverance which the Lord will work for you today."

Sometimes, one has to stand still to enjoy freedom. Reply

For Post Falls Torah provides no restrictions on the human being. Torah tells you, "This is good and this bad; this is life and this is death. Choose life."

You are free to choose as you wish. And that is true freedom.

But when there is nothing to choose, when the human being follows only that which is good for him, that which feels right, that from which he derives pleasure--then he is truly a slave. A slave to nature and to his own beast. Reply

Freedom The dictionary defines freedom as one who is free or without physical or other restraint. How does that relate to us? We are surrounded by rules, laws, and other restrictions that give our lives structure, telling us all that we need to know. So how can we be in a state of perpetual freedom. I See it as not a state of body but a state of mind. Someone who is free can question, can think, can dream. To be perpetually free is to be able to let your mind be what it wants to be. This is why that state of mere legal freedom is not enough. A person can be free in body but not in mind. Only through freedom of the mind can someone really excerise their rights, themselves. Reply

Freedom I would like to meet Rabbi Freeman and thank him for sharing his wisdom. I at times question my actions, thoughts, philosophy, and at times, or most of the time the Rabbi validates how I think. Reply
