“We [humans] want to be free to and not free from”. Viktor Frankl
We want to be allowed to (be, do, see, feel, taste, say whatever we want, we “feel” like), to have permission to (be, do, see, feel taste more), And whatever might be we have been wishing for. Including permission to be, to dream, to expand our reality, to visualize ourselves.
We don’t want to be protected against, we don’t want to be kept safe, we don’t want to be fenced in, and we don’t want to be “released” from. It only makes us feel that we are not good enough, we are not able, we cannot be trusted, we cannot do it, be it, see it, get it. It only de-power us from our own power, from ourselves. It only means that experience – experiencing what we are looking for, the very thing we are here for – is not what we are looking for. It means we are denying our very selves.
While “freeing from” equals de-power, “freeing to” equals em-power. Em-power yourself, free you to be who you want to be, do what you want to do, feel your feelings, dream your dreams, “realize” your visions. Allow you to be.
