Infinite Freedom

What is infinite freedom? Is it possible?

I have thought a lot about it and decided on a physical level it is not. Our freedom of movement is restricted by our range of motion. Our social freedom is restricted by our friends and community. Usually, we willing give up some personal freedom to be part of a larger network: family unit, town, country. There is a trade off.

The only place where no one can restrict us is our minds. In our minds we can go forward without fear, repression, obligation. Our great cerebral cortex is a galaxy of neurons. Our thoughts can bounce, travel, grow. I think the best time to do this is just after waking or just before falling asleep. It is a pleasant segue way into the dream world.

Enjoy your infinite freedom and don't forget to indulge.
