Having Free Thoughts.
I found this challenge and am attempting to give my opinion of what freedom is to me.
Freedom to me is being able to be conscious without imposed subconscious priming. I literally shout until a radio commercial is over because I am aware what they are doing. For people who think I'm insane, let me enlighten you. There's a concept that you are the average of the five people closest to you, at your point in life. You'll start to pick up small gestures of theirs, or even speech patters. This is proof. Marketing uses psychological tactics to create the most optimized temptation for their viewers, or listeners. Even fast food restaurants base their logos off of color psychology. Look into red and yellow xD.
There was a study done where an individual would approach a stranger and ask them to hold a cup of coffee while they tied their shoe. Afterward the stranger was asked about their impression of the individual. One trial experimented with cold coffee in the cup and one trial did hot. If the stranger received the cold coffee, they were more likely to say that the individual tying their shoe was a cold person. The hot trial is exactly what you think. They believed the person to be warming and comforting. This is a study that even Tony Robbins has stated on. Our minds are very malleable, letting the wrong programmer have access can be detrimental.
Freedom Is Intrinsic
Only a man can give up his own freedom. They can take away your time, your body, but you will always have your thoughts. They can try priming your mind, but if you stay vigilant and persistent you will carry on. You have freedom in some way. In my opinion, the most important part of freedom. Everyone individual was put on earth with freedom, freedom of mind. This is a type of independence that is most crucial to protect. It is the control center of your existence and you must have defenses.
I personally choose the texts that I read very carefully. I will also be extremely cautious about what music I listen to. Listening to music has many effects on the body. If you practice mindfullness, you will acknowledge how you are affected by different music. Having our generation circling around the hip hop - rap industry many minds are programmed around sex, drugs, and money. It's sad how the mainstream are effected, and many of them aren't even aware of it.
Have you ever seen a child watch a television? That is abuse of freedom. That child is literally glued. Glued man. I don't know the affects that a TV have on the mind, but I am totally aware of the effects they have on children. After the TV soaks up their attention they are tuned in to download whatever content is playing. This could be Elmo, Roger's Show, etc. Most shows even have underlying biases. Certain shows lead a path toward democratic beliefs or republican, certain shows advocate different religions. This is literally wild man.
Freedom Of Beliefs
Beliefs are thoughts that most individuals begin to identify themselves with the concept. Many people attach their ego to their beliefs. What about when you're brought into this world though? Did your parents have freedom of their beliefs? My mother was raised Christian, I asked her why she was Christian, she said, "I was raised Christian." What a ridiculous response. Seriously. You're telling me your mental knowledge has been solidified by your early years? Before you even knew anything!?
I was raised Catholic, but I do not claim a religion. I am most fond of Buddhism along with Taoism. Both being eastern religions, they seem to vibe with me in an open minded sense. Freedom of thoughts on your belief, well that can be said who you are sometimes.
Children come in into this life and get what their parents give. Beliefs, dietary habits, living habits, so many subconscious actions are literally transferred to offspring! I mean Gee WIZ!
What Does Freedom Mean to Me?
Our existence. Without freedom, you're letting someone else paint your painting. You're letting someone else control your destiny. Control your mind, control your destiny. Do not allow the dark magicians to infiltrate your mind. Dark magicians use dark energy to corrupt and influence children of the light. People are so lost though because there's a war going on and they're not even aware of it.
The mental war has been going on for centuries. The majority of the masses either are ignorant or ignore the facts. This war is something that can't be seen to the naked eye. Some call this the idea of the "Illuminati"
I hope you have your freedomThanks for reading, hopefully it was thought provoking. Give some love through upvoting and comment below how you feel about imposition of subliminal priming!
