Where do you feel most free?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 01, 2009:
Freedom is not a state of feeling, although it might seem that way. Freedom is an advanced stage of thinking with the heart, an intuition that can be made conscious. This freedom is closely linked to love. It has no motivation except love of the free deed. It can be understood through meditation on the book, "Philosophy of Spritual Activity", by Rudolf Steiner. Here freedom is translated as spiritual activity.

I would say freedom has to be realized in expression. Sometimes it can be hinted at in a book, but a book is like a person pointing at the moon. Don't look at the person's finger but what it's pointing at.
I have a question. Why is freedom not a state of feeling?
I have anothe question. Are you saying intuition is an advance stage of thinking?
“Philosophy of Spiritual Activity,” by Rudolf Steiner cannot really be read. It must be digested into your whole being. True thinking is much deeper than normal thinking. To start it is like math. For example, a circle is the same for everyone in the thought world. In the material world circles are different. Feelings are always different as experienced by another. You must think to discover any feelings. Imagination, Intuition and Inspiration are all states of higher consciousness and can be brought into our spiritual self awareness. This is the process by which Human Beings will become aware of their Spiritual, Creative Nature. In other words, Becoming Aware of the Logos is becoming aware of the Indwelling Logos.
