“The idea of personal liberty is a divine idea; but if it is glamorised, it can become an illusion blocking the way to true freedom. But as an ideal it is still very potent, so we struggle for liberty and freedom. We struggle against what appears to represent authority and which appears to be telling us what to do. Sometimes we get so engrossed in the struggle that that is all we live for; and if we lose it we lose our reason for being. The concept of freedom is not freedom from something, but freedom to be. If you think something in your environment is keeping you from being, then you are operating under illusion, the illusion of your essential powerlessness and your lack of divinity.”
