ABSOLUTE VS. RESPONSIBLE FREEDOM
Definition of the word freedom

Freedom means to be really free and able to do exactly:
• whatever you want
• when ever you want
• how ever you want
• with who ever you want
Freedom is the basis for Love to develop and the basis for health and the basis of general well being and happiness in your life.
Freedom is one of the most valuable gifts God gave to mankind. It is one of the most powerful as well, it let's you feel like a child of God - made to the image of God. But who of you truly feels like a child of
God, who of you can truly say "I am free!”? Let's have a look at freedom, what it is, how it feels and how to restore it.
To know exactly what freedom is, we may first have a look at a few examples of the opposite of freedom.
The opposite of freedom is slavery.
The old fashioned slavery, where a person was property of another person still exists in certain countries -
however usually in different forms than earlier. Modern slavery is different and often in disguise. Hundreds of Millions of people on this planet feel uncomfortable without knowing why. Often it is due to lack of absolute freedom. Freedom to do whatever they want, whenever they want. Politicians may be slaves of their political party, of their own ideas, of their own beliefs and desires, of their own career or of their wish to be in a reputable position and to be mighty.Citizens may be slaves of their country, of the politics in their country, being restricted in their activities,restricted in the free expression of their opinion, selection of jobs, selection of the educational system of their own choice, to travel or leave their own country. Managers may be slaves of their own business, position, investment, system, ideas, and projects.Children and babies may loose their freedom to their parents, to their teachers, to educational systems, to the government who deprives them of many potential rights and their divine freedom while being children, to the church or religion they have been made to belong to.Concept of Freedom When you have truly realized absolute freedom in your life, then you certainly know exactly how it feels to be free and what freedom is. To circumscribe or define the status of absolute Divine freedom may be difficult. Freedom is, if any day, any second of each day’s time you can do exactly what you want, what you decide, you can be where you want to be and then you are free. The vast majority of the world's population at present has little or no freedom at all, without being put in jail. Their mind, country, job or home is their jails. Most of the world's population has put themselves into jail without realizing it. To make you fully aware of the definition of freedom I'll describe a few examples of various situations in life where people currently have lost their freedom partially or completely on this planet. From these situations described you may derive a full understanding of the definition of freedom and get a clear and shocking picture of your own status of freedom within yourself.
Individuality, Freedom and Ethics.
The modern conception of man is characterized, more than anything else, by individualism.
Existentialism can be seen as a rigorous attempt to work out the implications of this individualism. The
purpose of this lecture is to makes sense of the Existentialist conception of individuality and the answers
it gives to these three questions:
(1) what is human freedom? What can the absolute freedom of absolute
individuals mean?
(2) What is human flourishing or human happiness? What general ethic or way of life emerges when we take our individuality seriously?
(3) What ought we to do? What ethics or code of action can emerge from a position that takes our individuality seriously?
