About this audiobook
Freedom of choice is not freedom - 11 November 1968
• What do we mean by free will? Is there such thing?
• Is choice ever necessary?
• Freedom exists only when I perceive very clearly, when the mind sees things as they are.
• Q: Is it possible to be free in society?
• Q: Is love the absence of hate?
• To find out what truth is you must be free of propaganda: the propaganda of
the Church, the propaganda of literature, propaganda of tradition, so that you see things clearly for yourself.

Reviews for Freedom of Choice is Not Freedom
21 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Choice appears under the influence of confusion, and without confusion, when seeing clearly, there is not possibility for choice to occur because what appears is obvious. The idea of choice as freedom is the idea that the presence of bias and prejudice brings favorable results. The choice for what is favored comes after deliberation. De-liberation, literally meaning that the appearance of choice is the absence of liberation, or in other words confusion.
