Tell me about your freedom and your slavery

Of that in which you have sought your freedom, in which you have crossed all your limits; sometimes working against yourself, against your most intimate convictions, until you renounce them. Tell me if you have found in it what you were looking for and what is the current standard of your conduct: what governs all your actions (being yourself, the pursuit of your own interest, winning the affection and esteem of the world, the search for of pleasure or power, etc) (3).

Tell me about what you feel like a prisoner or slave in, where you don't do what you want (even to your own harm sometimes); where you don't feel in control of your behavior. Tell me if there is any area of your life in which this happens (alcohol, sex, drugs, the search for affection, etc.).


Try to explain to me what your behavior is like at the bottom of your slavery, what characterizes it and how you feel about yourself in it, whether it seems to you to be the same person or a different one (under the effects of drugs, alcohol or other realities that can subject your existence to slavery); If you remember your works (what you did when you were not you) or you have empty spaces in your memory and you can only perceive in yourself (in your body and in your soul) the traces of your behavior.

If with an image you had to describe what the prison or hell in which you are under the sign of your slavery is like (where you do not have your life), tell me how you would do it.


Tell me about your freedom and your slavery

(3) The dictate of one's own conscience: It frequently constitutes the basic norm of our behavior, received as an inheritance from our ancestors and the cultural environment in which we have grown up; also woven by the experience we have of ourselves, in the most intimate part of our being, beyond all external influences.


It represents the principles and values that govern our behavior and characterize our personality; that for different reasons can be broken at some point in our lives, needing to be restored or replaced by others; that they can be more or less healthy, constructive or destructive of our freedom (even having been decided by us); more practical or selfish, more or less in line with our human condition as people; responding to the experience of Good and Evil that we have had throughout life and to our own survival instinct.
