Where do you feel most free?

Posted on Jul 1st, 2009 by Ted : Solution Multiplier Ted
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 01, 2009:

I always have freedom.
It's never about freedom itself, it is about the consequences of exercising freedom.

I guess in that sense, I feel most free here in my home in New Zealand.
My two trips to the USA have both frightened me, the degree of conformity and patriotism present.  Orders of magnitude beyond what is normal here.

Even here in Kaikoura, I do fear th consequences of some groups, mostly USA based, becoming aware of what I am saying and seeing it as a threat, and eliminating me.  It is a threat that does enter into my calculations, and is an influence, and I am still free to say anything, and all actions have consequences.

And there is definitely a sense in which one's sense of security influences one's choices.  The greater the sense of security, the greater the experiential degrees of freedom, though the reality is always that we are always free at some level, even if it is only to choose our interpetive schema.
