      I think freedom exists in the choosing to receive in order to bestow pleasure to the Creator.  We could also choose actions for purely receiving for the self alone, but the first choice moves us closer to the purpose of creation.

      Freedom to me means that I choose to be happy and giving through all I go through knowing that the Creator allows me different experiences.  Some are positive looking through may hide egotistic reactions, some are negative looking but may allow me to bestow to others (and myself) with happiness and gratitude.

      Freedom happens when we have the ability to choose between at least two options. In our current state we can only follow the desires of our body. All we do is choosing between this egoistic act and that egoistic act. If we reach the state where we have the ability to act more than that (altruism) we have the freedom.

      We can’t do otherwise .All we can do is attract the reforming light and let it lift us to the other state. We need to try and change our intentions. By moving in the middle line and reaching faith above reason it will finally happen.

      Freedom is ability to chose that which we can control; our environment. Yes, they are physical in terms of who we allow to teach us, who we allow to influence us (friends/society/religion), and what books we study. But to me the environment is also mental/spiritual/psychological. It is what I allow myself to ponder on. Whose words do I allow to replay in my mind? What thoughts do I nourish with more study and find my mind going to. I have freedom on where I allow my thoughts go. Like most Kabbalah terms and sequences I am trying to strengthen my grasp on the the different Lights. I know the Direct Light shines upon our Kli but that our screen filters most of it out but that a little gets through everytime filing our Kli more and allowing more Reflected Light to come from our Kli. Receiving/bestowal. And I know there is a Surrounding Light that draws near to us as we seek more wisdom. I’m guessing because I can’t remember…that the Reforming Light guides us on chosing our environment.

      Freedom is being at peace with the desire of the Creator for us His created beings. It mutes the opposite forces within us that are in resistance to His desire. Freedom is being still and knowing. It is peace.

      After different life experiences, I concluded that freedom is the ability to choose what a higher purpose requires me to do. It’s a deep feeling that I have been created for a specific purpose only.
      That doesn’t mean it’s a high or lofty purpose from society’s perspective.
      From this perspective, I can feel a different degrees of freedom, but I don’t know if it’s possible to be certain that I’m in the right place without information from above.
