True Freedom Isn’t Chaos

True freedom is what’s left when separation falls away

Sometimes a question arises:

“So you say you want to be free, but what if your freedom hurts someone? Isn’t that selfish?”

This is a deep and important question; one that opens the door to the heart of what real freedom is.

The freedom that is spoken of here is not about indulging every impulse. It’s not about doing whatever one wants without care for others. That kind of freedom is still entangled in the illusion of separation—a “me” who must assert itself against “them.”

But the freedom that arises from clarity, from the recognition of oneness, is something else entirely. It’s not wild or reckless. It doesn’t need to prove anything. It is still, open, and inclusive. It does not trample or harm. Why? Because it sees that there is no "other." When there’s no separation, love becomes the natural expression.

So if someone were to act out and cause harm under the label of “freedom,” it’s more likely an unconscious compulsion—an expression of buried pain, trauma, or conditioning. Not freedom at all. And that too, when seen in the light of awareness, can be allowed, held, and ultimately dissolve. 

True freedom is not dangerous.

It is not destructive.

It is a return to the simplicity of being, where life flows not from fear, but from love.

And from there, we can simply meet each moment; not as someone trying to be free, but as the freedom itself.
