Freedom begins in the spirit and slowly makes its way to the rest of the person until behavior becomes enslaved to the freedom of the spirit. To be truly free means that one has learned and accepted the pleasant boundaries of liberty -- namely, the law of love.
The heart which is governed by total freedom has learned to kill selfish ambitions in order to look to the best interests of others. It has embraced the joy of forgiveness, adopted a lifestyle of sacrificial generosity, rejected jealousy and covetousness, and learned to promote peace in all interactions.
Freedom, an exemplary fellow, walked on earth over 2000 years ago in the form of a carpenter who came from heaven to cease all oppression among men. Instead of political propaganda, He is still choosing personal emissaries to engage people in one-on-one conversations that can lead them to a life of true emancipation and release.
