True Freedom

Question from the Internet:

“Is freedom an illusion? Are we forced to contribute to society?”

The freedom we usually hope for and even fight for – individual freedom when I can seemingly do whatever I want according to my subjective and egocentric calculations – is an illusion.

We srarted talking about a global world and global interdependence, but in truth, we haven’t even started to scratch the surface about what it actually means.

In this global and integral world we are all effectively like single cells in the same, closed and living organism.

And if its is so, what kind of independence and personal freedom could we have?

What individual freedom do our cells and organs in our body have? What freedom do plants or even animals have in nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system?

We are forced to become mutually responsible and mutually complementing members of society, all of us contributing to the well-bening and best possible state of the whole with our best abilities.

But it has nothing to do with any of our arbitrary ideologies, philsophies or religions, that are all the products of our inherent nature. We need to comply with the strict, unchanging and unforgiving laws of nature – that sustain and govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on – if we want to survive.

So where is our freedom then?

We need to liberate ourselves from our inherent and illusory independent individualism, we have to liberate ourselves from the notion that “I” exist independent and opposite to others, when in truth, all those “others” are my integral parts I inevitably and irrevocably co-exist with and have to cooperate with if we all want to survive – like cells of the same body.

And when we achieved this true freedom, and start sensing life through this collective and integrated Human “super-organism” with is unique “collective consciousness”, we will also liberate ourselves from all the limitations that come with our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic viewpoint, even from the boundaries of time, space and from sensing physical life or death.
