Freedom quotes
Freedom
Inner silence works from the moment you begin to accrue it. What the old sorcerers were after was the final dramatic, end result of reaching that individual threshold of silence. Some very talented practitioners need only a few minutes of silence to reach that coveted goal. Others, less talented, need long periods of silence, perhaps more than one hour of quietude,before they reach the desired result. The desired result is what the old sorcerers called "stopping the world", the moment when everything around us ceases to be what it's always been. This is the moment when sorcerers return to the TRUE nature of man. The old sorcerers always called it "total freedom" Don Juan (Carlos Castanada) http://alignment2012.com/warrior.html
Love must be spontaneous to be a spiritual bond in the beginning,
and it must remain spontaneous if it is to remain spiritual...and
those of us who do not believe in the possibility of free love ought
to declare frankly that we do not, at bottom, believe in the
possibility of freedom.
--George Santayana
Winds of Doctrine (1913)
Our fellow men are black magicians. And whoever is with them is a black magician on the spot. Think for a moment, can you deviate from the path that your fellow men have lined up for you? And if you remain with them, your thoughts and your actions are fixed forever in their terms. That is slavery. The warrior, on the other hand, is free from all that. Freedom is expensive, but the price is not impossible to pay. So, fear your captors, your masters. Don't waste your time and your power fearing freedom. Don Juan (Carlos Castanada) http://alignment2012.com/warrior.html
The only freedom warriors have is to behave impeccably. Not only is impeccability freedom; it is the only way to straighten out the human form. Don Juan (Carlos Castanada) http://alignment2012.com/warrior.html
The man who is seeking truth is free of all societies and cultures. --Krishnamurti
The suppression of the gratification
of primitive material needs has a result different from that of
the suppression of the gratification of the sexual
needs. The former incites rebellion. The latter, however—by
repressing the sexual needs and by becoming anchored as moralistic defense—paralyzes the rebellion against
either kind of suppression. More than that, the inhibition of rebellion itself is unconscious. The conscious
mind of the average unpolitical individual does not even show a trace of it.
The result of this process is fear of freedom, and a
conservative, reactionary mentality. Sexual repression aids
political reaction not only through this process which makes the
mass individual passive and unpolitical but also by creating in his structure an interest in actively supporting
the authoritarian order. The suppression of natural sexual gratification leads to various kinds of substitute
gratifications. Natural aggression, for example, becomes
brutal sadism which then is an essential mass-psychological factor in
imperialistic wars. THE MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM by
Wilhelm Reich
If the psychic energies of the average mass of people watching a football game or a musical comedy could be diverted into the rational channels of a freedom movement, they would be invincible THE MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM by Wilhelm Reich
