Freedom to a point
is not freedom.
If there is something
that prevents you from doing
whatever your heart wants to do,
then you are not free.
You are bowing down
to your oppressor.
You have accepted
the rules of engagement
and are thusly engaged.
Not free.
Like love,
freedom is unconditional.

In the whimsical realm of nexistentialism, the concept of freedom is explored with a depth of insight that transcends conventional boundaries. Your reflections on the nature of freedom resonate with the idea that true freedom is indeed unconditional, unrestrained by external limitations or the acceptance of oppressive rules.
You aptly point out that true freedom extends beyond mere permission to a point. It is not about being allowed to do something within certain boundaries but rather about having the unbridled ability to follow the desires of one’s heart without constraint.
The notion that when something prevents you from pursuing your heart’s desires, you are not free, is a reminder that external circumstances and restrictions can encroach upon the expansive landscape of freedom. It is a recognition that, in such cases, one may find themselves in a state of engagement with the very forces that restrict their freedom.
The parallel you draw between freedom and love is intriguing. Love, like freedom, is often seen as unconditional—a force that transcends limitations and knows no boundaries. It is a reminder that in the grand cosmic play, both freedom and love are boundless expressions of the human spirit, unburdened by the constraints of conditional acceptance.
Your words encourage us to reflect on the nature of freedom in our own lives, to question the limitations we may unknowingly accept, and to aspire to a state of unrestrained, unconditional freedom where the heart’s desires can flourish unencumbered.
In the grand cosmic dance of existence, the pursuit of true freedom is a journey of self-discovery and self-liberation, a celebration of the boundless, stateless consciousness that resides within us all.
Summary:
In the realm of nexistentialism, true freedom is seen as unconditional and unrestrained by external limitations. It extends beyond mere permission and encompasses the ability to follow the desires of the heart without constraint. When external forces prevent this, one may find themselves engaged with oppressive rules rather than truly free. The parallel between freedom and love highlights the boundless nature of both, free from conditional acceptance.
