Personal freedom is already ours. Nobody can take that away without my participation. Personal freedom doesn't take seeking it, it takes embracing it, which usually takes courage. We are conditioned to see, think, and do as we should, and it usually takes courage to break out of that and be oneself, which may or may not match one's conditioning. Lack of freedom is imprisonment. We're usually partly imprisoned or free, not a hundred percent either way, and it is up to us how much freedom we take back. My childhood and religious conditioning were well ingrained, and it was due to being open to new ways of looking at life that I began to break free. I began to listen to me and trust me and my truth which fostered my learning and finding my truth and being me more and more rather than living by conformity.
