Freedom as I see it.
Lifestyle is pure enslavement of humans, who doubt about their value. They want to live the life they want to aspire to. "I can't go to the work with an old car", "people like us used to spent the vacation on Hawaii", "it becomes me to drink high priced wines", "we do like healthy food" - all those statements are usually spells about how humans wish to be perceived by others. But this is nothing more, than associating with informal groups and as well going under the same delusion as baroque wig hiding lice and unhealthy scalp.
From other side, associating with the lifestyle means cheating with others. Cheating, because external lifestyle might not be the result of authentic thinking, but conformity with a group humans admire. Someone, who lives his own, authentic and meaningful life has no reason to conform any group. Even if some lifestyles may simply pay off.

The relation between wisdom and freedom is very strong. Note 'wisdom' and not 'intelligence' neither 'good education'. Wise humans are those, who have reached such level of world understanding, that they may conciously manage their life independently anytime they want. It doesn't mean they're independent. First of all full independence is either impossible at current stage of human development, or inconvenient (as far as it means focusing on very narrow sphere and resignation of many others) or even fatal. Go back then to the problem of right balance and make your understanding much deeper. The world you're living in has a kind of framework. This is multi-pattern physical space; rules managing the Chaos; time you have to spent on the Earth; limited number of humans you are or you will be in relation with; the machine called body that carries your mind; the way your mind is working; thousands of artificial systems your're part of, you're using or you have to respect; biosphere and so on. On the other side there is your mind, that acts within the framework and interacts with it and other entities. Information about this framework is knowledge, gathered by the process of education. Intelligence is smart and efficient dealing with entities within the framework and emerges by creating relations between 'knowledges' of different areas. Wisdom needs both wide knowledge and sharp intelligence, but is rather a way of living than a state of mind. As a result of that, wise humans don't waste their time on the Earth, not even one day. Instead, they live happy, meaningful, healthy, symbiotic life. And they're not bothering about the freedom, because it's obvious. |

Humans used to perceive the reality by eyes and other senses and assume, that their view is only correct one. This is a trap, not only because our senses are built in evolution - so the main foundation was functionality in terms of surviving - but because it limits the imagination to a three dimensional, visible model of the reality a particular human perceives, remembers and can recreate the vision in the brain.
But, the space every human creates consists not only visible phenomena! Even more - those phenomenas are pure illusions, as far as atomic and subatomic models are true. If an proton - also his solid (that's illusion as well...) - part is of a pinhead size, the whole atom spans by it's electrons (whose are not solid!) up to the size of a football field. Try to imagine: you see the hand, that consists mostly empty space and very few solid elements. That's good example of how poor are our senses, so let forget them, when describing the world human creates. There are more "solid" patterns and dimensions, where relations to other humans are most important, but as well timespan, knowledge, conciousness, memory, feelings. For a particular human such defined expanse is created by unique combination of unique patterns, that changes every second, while other humans can't observe it at a glance and consider other worlds as nonexistent. If two unknown humans pass by on the street, each of them brings his own world with, and when passing only visible phenomena of those worlds are met: the physical surrounding, the body form, sometimes short look...but principally there's no real coincidence of both worlds. It's easy to demonstrate, that a human has power only to manage his own world, the limited possibility of changing visible phenomena and only little influence on other worlds. This makes ipso facto a good definition of the freedom.
The point is, that very often people think mainly on visible phenomena, focus efforts on other humans' worlds and make vary little on his own world, where expanding freedom is most effective.

This emotion is not defined as separate one, probably because its usually arises with other intense and powerful feeling like falling in love, observing delivery of a child, staying at the top of a mountain. But its separate category, that is pure magic. In a second every little entity seems to be complementary, smiling, supporting and perfect; bad experiences vanish and change into necessary steps for not being in ignorance; the Sun is shining and you receive good messages from all the world.
But the world is perfect indeed. Probably only humans are able to appreciate that, but much more often they complain. And, following Big Bang theory, we are sitting right now on a very small rock, that flies, rotates and interacts with other parts of intrinisic matter, and this is the result of absolutely fantastic and improbable set of coincidences, beginning from values of basic physical constants, ending with death of dinosaurs few millions years ago; between them there are thousands of such cross dependencies, so the most probable solution is, that the world is perfect. This awareness spans in mind a very special dimension of the freedom. Peace.

disappearing the world surrounding |
I've asked somebody who owns 20 meters yacht, whether this toy extends and how much his freedom. The answer was not freedom related, he replied "it's not a toy, it's lifestyle". It made him think. After few minutes he told, that the boat is place where he take his family and they disappear the world, reducing it to the minimum needed. I do the same travelling every weekend to my remote loghouse in the forest. I realized, this is the same phenomenon in case of people, who can feel free in concentration camp, in a jail during tortures or fighting with cancer in the bed. So, go back to calypso about imagination. It's your internal tool to disappear anything wrong. Otherwise you need a yacht and big sack of money.
