      After experiencing and investigating all one’s desires one can come to the conclusion what freedom is not.

      Resulting hopefully in finding clues (reshimot) as to correct ourselves and  connect with our essence.

      Freedom is what I’ve somehow deeply felt is the desire to see man free from bondage, not only externally, but internally in a sense as well to choose a course – such as acting in harmony with nature. I do feel that through the books, media, and things that we take in, within our environment, we begin to change our views. The reforming light helps us to shift into a will to bestow and help correct our desires. Perhaps then, we can understand more about the path to take and make more conscious choices.

      Freedom is the choice to place myself in an environment that actively fosters ongoing corrections of desire and perception, thus re-contextualizing reality. I am experiencing unbounded appreciation and wonder that, through the loving guidance of the Creator,  I have found that environment here, with KABU, and I look forward to deepening and deepening into this transformational process.

      I understand that our freedom lies in the opportunity to reject our ego’s control and stop acting blindly and instinctively. We have the free will to make our own decisions consciously and without mistakes, but we need to raise our desires to the level of human beings. The Reforming Light helps us to correct our intentions behind our desires, we still feel desires, but not in the “traditional” way. We change from “will to receive for ourselves” to the “will to receive in order to bestow”.

      Freedom is the process to make decisions without being coerced. Ultimately one should derive pleasure from such a choice without feeling regret.

      I think the whole free will is a tricky thing. I don’t think we really have freedom of choice in the way we normally think of it. Every choice I make is the result of a desire that I have. I have not chosen any of my desires, they arise in me. I don’t choose the people I get to interact with, or the thoughts that come to me. I feel like I am just on a ride moving along a track outside of my control and I can only observe.
