      Freedom for me is to experience life through the Reforming Light and to be able to recognize it in order to live our lives according to nature in an altruistic way.

      Freedom is my perceived ability to choose what is most important and where to focus my efforts. It is what I am choosing to pursue at all costs. I cannot achieve what I truly desire without the help of the reforming light because I do not really have freedom because I am made a certain way and internally I am in a confused state. I don’t fully understand how to resolve the paradoxical contradictions stemming from my thoughts and perceptions. And yet all I have is my perspective and my ability for gratitude and my ability to want one thing over another.

      An environment that is made up of like-minded people, a point in the heart that yearns to know “why one exists”.

      The people in this environment appreciate intonality rather than externality. Freedom exists in a spot.

      Where:

      If one can have 1 constant action every moment” consciously asking” that what is more important than having the proper “conscious intention”.

      Freedom is the ability to rise above automatic egoistic thoughts, Reforming light gives us this freedom by changing the intention from self-benefit to bestowal, letting us act from choice instead of compulsion.

      Freedom for me is to be able to receive and bestow without thought of self, that is the key and way to freedom and  eternal happiness

      Freedom is the ability to recognize the reforming light and ALLOW the light to work on me so I can achieve equivalence of form

      I keep tugging on that string of thought from “The Freedom” because it wasn’t quite clear and now I think I understand. Kindly let me know if this captures it.

      The first factor is our essence the way a seed contains a genetic code that define physical traits and qualities (e.g., talents) but in humans, it also contains inherited essences or basis (later explained in other lessons as ancestral experiences). Continuing the plant analogy addresses how the seed naturally develops into a particular type of plant (e.g, wheat becomes wheat) and this 2nd factor runs parallel to the third factor, which is the environment the plant develops in.

      The idea that these two factors run in parallel gave me the understanding.

      Finally, the fourth factor is the environment one chooses. This one ultimately determines the pace of one’s spiritual growth– the path of suffering (Derech Yissurim) or the the path of Torah/Light (Derech Torah ). This last factor explains where one is given a lever to exercise freedom. It’s the only lever but it’s a very powerful one.
