New Life #340 – Freedom And Independence
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
Summary
Under what conditions will we truly feel free? What should we do and how does our feeling of freedom [1] depend on building relations of love [2], closeness, and connection between us?
We have gotten used to all sorts of limitations that life imposes on us and it is within these limits that we are seemingly free.
Different desires continuously rise in us and we have to work hard to fill them. We are slaves to the beast inside us. We will reach a state in which there is abundance and everything one may desire in the world, but the question “what am I living for [3]?” will torture us.
Today people in different places aspire for political independence, but this will not give them a sense of independence either. No one can isolate himself from others and feel free in today’s integrated world.
We will be able to feel free only when we annul the borders between ourselves and others, like a child in his mother.
Today I look at everyone with envy. Everything they have drives me crazy, their cars, their homes, their lawns… Escaping from the stress we feel is not a solution since it keeps coming back. We have to build relations of love and friendship. The frustration people feel today stems from the lack of the right good connections between us. There are barriers and limits.
We will be able to feel a good, unlimited, free life only when we are connected like organs in one body.
