Strange how that works.
On the contrary, it’s very predictable how nothing works.
It doesn’t.
Everything works. It’s just a matter of how, and on what.
Only nothing is free.
So to become free, you must also become nothing.
Then it wouldn’t be ‘you’ being free. Think about it, how can nothing be free, free to do nothing, to have no freedom of movement, action, thought, speech etc? That’s like the worse kind of prison one could think of, i mean, a dark medieval dungeon would be horrible, this because its very dark and you can’t do much. You are advocating a situation which is so dark there is no light at all, so suffocating there is no room to move, no lungs to breath, no thoughts to experience being free.
I do however have some understanding of nirvana, which i think of as Caugant; the divine infinite [as in druidism], but also of the Awens; thought-wind, which emanates from that source and all through nature. So freedom to me is in expression, to open ones arms to the wind. The Socratic eternity [nirvana/Caugant] is fine, but its the original ‘self,’ and so we will inevitably end up there, hence why the rush? Or any need whatsoever to ‘attain’ such a freedom? Its the easiest thing of all to reach.
