Freedom:
—————————
Freedom is often associated with a preferable condition.
A different circumstance may appear to offer freedom.
A different relationship may appear to offer freedom.
A different state of mind may appear to offer freedom.
Freedom then appears dependent on obtaining or maintaining that condition.
Spiritual inquiry examines this dependence itself.
The concern shifts from which condition can provide freedom to why freedom appears to depend on a condition.
Recognizing this structure clarifies how the search for freedom can become an inquiry into what makes freedom appear conditional.
