There Is No Free Speech Without A Free Mind

We hear much about free speech,
but if our minds have been contaminated,
how can we have free speech?

Everything in our mind is an acquisition that we’ve adopted through suggestion. Depending on our personal environment (family, friends, work colleagues, what we read and hear etc), our mind will have those communal ideas.

It’s only when we are liberated from these concepts through the clarity of meditation that we are free to speak openly. Hmm … is that true? If meditation is just an idea or a lifestyle acquisition, then we aren’t free – we are acting.

The hallmark of freedom is to have no fear of present moment encounters, so we don’t seek safety in formula, which a list of ingredients (ideas) from which something is made.
Formula: early 17th century from Latin, diminutive of forma ‘shape, mould’.

Meditation is breaking the mould,
not making a new one.

If we must act, then we act as if we have made no assumptions;
only then will something fresh occur to us.

Evil constantly primes us to react – and then calls that hate speech.
