Freedom exists Outside society

Sanity: “Freedom exists within the individual. It doesn’t exist anywhere else. Freedom means choice. An individual either takes it or surrenders it.”

Mind control: “We all live inside the government. The first fact of existence is, we live inside SOMETHING.”

That is a lie.

As the worldwide freedom protests against COVID restrictions expand, I’m reminding people of a few basic truths—after decades of press and government brainwashing.

Freedom, of course, is a natural fact, beyond the need for government permission.

It exists outside the TERRITORY of government.

No, we don’t live inside the government.

The truth is even more extreme. Freedom exists outside of society.

Society is not an entity that encircles and surrounds freedom.

Society is an organization. Freedom isn’t organized.

Heinous slogans like, “We’re all in this together,” are meant to redefine society, and give the impression that we naturally exist INSIDE it.

We don’t.

“We’re all in this together” is a tribal maxim. Even there, it’s a con, because the tribal leaders use it to enforce loyalty and submission.

When you know that, you know a great deal about freedom protests and government pushback.

The government is saying, “You ALREADY EXIST within OUR territory. To protect you and keep you safe, we’re restricting you. Naturally, you’ll comply. If you don’t, you’re a criminal. If you persist in your non-compliance, you’re a terrorist. You’re an insurrectionist.”

That’s a fantasy cooked up by the government. Ultimately, on the physical level, it’s enforced by government personnel with weapons. That’s how it becomes real.

The major everyday strategy the government uses is the proposition, “Everybody lives and works and thinks inside society, and society is regulated by the government. Society is the primary fact every person is born with.”

That’s a lie.

Every person is born with the knowledge that he is here and alive—an individual. THAT is primary.

Regardless of what he needs and requires to survive, those needs do not define him. They come second, not first.

Of course, some potato head will take this as an “anti-family” statement. It isn’t. But the love within a family has no meaning unless it’s understood that each family member is an individual.

A person can live in freedom without limit—but the basic law of an open society is: he is responsible (for his actions), and he can’t lessen the freedom of another. Granted. However, that legal restriction doesn’t define what freedom is. It modifies it. It comes second, not first.

Mind control puts everything backwards. What comes first is placed second, and vice versa.

The individual, who is free, exists outside society and government, and always has. He enters society, but he doesn’t start out inside it. He enters and exits.

Once that is clear, everything changes.

This is more than the issue of who physically owns space…

This is, who THINKS of space as open and who thinks of space as closed.

The space of government and the space of society are not the space of freedom.

EVERY CRIMINAL KNOWS THIS.

But the criminal violates the basic law of society by diminishing the freedom of others.

When the rest of the population is so cowed and brainwashed that it doesn’t even know what the criminal knows, we’re cooked.

The crazed government of Canada is in a panic because the people are waking up to the fact that freedom exists outside the government, and the truckers have suddenly become a potent force that performs instant surgery on mind control and lops it off.

Space: the final frontier. And it’s open, not closed. It’s not inside the government or society. It’s outside.

A reasonable society is a society where real debate can take place.

An open society is asymmetrical and unresolved. It isn’t perfect. It doesn’t strive for perfection, and it doesn’t strive for unity. Unity is a con.

When an individual ENTERS the space of an unfree society, he declares the ability to act without limit, with responsibility, on the sole condition that he doesn’t diminish the freedom of another. The individual fights for that right.

But freedom itself is not enclosed within society or government. That is a fiction promoted by those men who would own government and society and force unity on all of us. The unity of compliance.

Freedom, in its essence, is non-material. It exists within the individual. It is choice. The individual either exercises it or surrenders it.

    Insanity’s Horse Adorns the Sky:

    Think we need to some serious thinking about what mental imbalance is. The world seems to once again have been unwittingly drawn into it.

    Seas already full of nano-particles, soil full of nuclear waste and a bio-security state looming on the horizon –
    So iot makes sense to churn up central Asia, wreck Africa for minerals.
    How much more contamination is to be generated?
    How much murder, etc.?

    Why has Klaus Schwab made a statement to the effect that they‚ the smart ones in their silicone cages, have infiltrated governments?
    Does he want to be found out?

    Sonic weapoms and Microwave guns, stun guns developed for use against rioting crowds – or should one say rioting herds?
    Zombie soldiers and police penetrated. Dead virologists. People’s NGOs like Greenpeace commandeered.
    Hallucinatory.

    Klaus Schwab and Co. should be informed:
    That is mania.

    You trained ‚management’. You went ‚head-hunting’ and positioned your ‚placements’ in their career structures.
    You hi-jacked the armed forces and brain-made laws to thwart your ‘enemies’ i.e. everybody.

    And what did you grab all the high-tech for? Creative destruction, right?
    With a spot of collateral damage thrown in, i.e. the planet, right?
    Congratulations.
    One Big Gold Watch of excellence for you.

    The armies of the anti-human may have risen –
    But so hopefully, have the humane from the Sleep of the Ages.

    Best case scenario: sheeple are begging the government to give them back some of the freedom. Like Canadian truckers. They got what was expected for being dumb.

    Worst case scenario (90% of the sheeple): slaves think they are free.

  3. David Herin says:

    I agree that governments and corporations build a false world that attempt to enclose us and that we should resist the manufactured conformity. But I also believe that the so-called ‘inherent freedom’ of the individual is a lie. We cannot do just anything we want. We are constrained by many necessities and alienations.

    The big omission here is our dependence on God. We as individuals cannot forget our creatureliness. As humans, we lost our true freedom in the garden when Adam and Eve presumed and claimed an inherent freedom apart from the God who quietly sustained them. They quickly found out how hard life is living as ‘independent creatures.’

    All of that idyllic freedom was lost as soon as they presumed to claim their independence and to ‘make their own choices.’ Then, banished from the garden, and from the Source of Life, God (reluctantly) let them have what they had chosen — he let them experience the consequences of hardship, pain and toil, to experience the alienation and necessity that still characterize our lives today.

    In the western world, with a nearly limitless supply and means for our own provision, we may think we’re free and want freedom. But we are deeply mistaken. How easily we are deceived! The false ‘garden’ that the world has constructed around us is ultimately designed to kill us.

    The only true freedom is the freedom that Christ freely offers us. To, like him, look into the face of death and have compassion on our enemies — the ones who are also bound but think themselves free.

    Is it ultimately painful to be awake? To see what is coming, what is going to wipe us out or enslave our circumstances? Or is this a view from the inside, a view that changes once truly outside the mind control?

    This is actually very helpful to me in thinking about this. I have a teenager who now is saying that it is OK to force others to vaccinate, etc, for the greater good. He learned that idea in a progressive catholic school of course. Interestingly, I don’t observe his behaviors to follow what he said. He often exercises true freedom in ways that are unpopular but dignified, which I naturally encourage. I love to see my son noticing when is the time to make a choice of of integrity and truth that is not supported by those around him. It is an important ability to encourage, when it is done so in a real fidelity to an inner compass (not sure what to call that part of the individual conscience that tells a person when they must freely act). Reading what you wrote will help me be more ready to gently offer to my son the juxtaposition of his expressed view and his own true sense of freedom. I’m not sure exactly how, but I will keep working on seeing how what you wrote changes my ability to discern everything that is going on.

    • nmbsp says:

      “that tells a person when they must freely act” – so the rest of the time they don’t act freely…? 😉

      And also, the problem with that opinion that you say your son has been (in effect) programmed to have, is not just his own freedom of choice, but, more importantly, the imposition of his choice on others. And I would say this is a good place to start. (and of course you must be ready for the “Oh but they will impose their “infection” on me”…)

    Ending Tyranny Without Violence

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/1970/01/murray-n-rothbard/overthrowing-the-state/

    “Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.”
    – Etienne de La Boétie

    “You differ from a great man in only one respect: the great man was once a very little man, but he developed one important quality: he recognized the smallness and narrowness of his thoughts and actions. Under the pressure of some task that meant a great deal to him, he learned to see how his smallness, his pettiness endangered his happiness. In other words, a great man knows when and in what way he is a little man. A little man does not know he is little and is afraid to know. He hides his pettiness and narrowness behind illusions of strength and greatness, someone else’s strength and greatness. He’s proud of his great generals but not of himself. He admires an idea he has not had, not one he has had. The less he understands something, the more firmly he believes in it. And the better he understands an idea, the less he believes in it.”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “You’ll have a good, secure life when being alive means more to you than security, love more than money, your freedom more than public or partisan opinion, when the mood of Beethoven’s or Bach’s music becomes the mood of your whole life … when your thinking is in harmony, and no longer in conflict, with your feelings … when you let yourself be guided by the thoughts of great sages and no longer by the crimes of great warriors … when you pay the men and women who teach your children better than the politicians; when truths inspire you and empty formulas repel you; when you communicate with your fellow workers in foreign countries directly, and no longer through diplomats…”

    Thank you Jon for your continuous Fodder for Thought. I pray that we still have enough ‘Sheeple’ that have the ability to read and understand the depth and width of the dangers the world now faces.

    Maria has put it correctly when she states humans in the Sleep of the Ages.

    After so many wars, strife and human tragedy of every kind we have taken a breather as those who raised the generation of us born in the 40’s and 50’s did not want us to have to endure those terrible acts of man. This is not new. This is yet another chapter in our struggle to make sense of a world that has evolved into the chaos we now see.

    We have been asleep. How many of us know or understand the laws and confines for which we vote? That is why we have a Representative republic? That does not excuse any of us for not understanding the trap into which you choose to go.

    Do not seek blame outside of yourself. Correct your deficiencies and encourage others to examine themselves.

    Evil and wrongdoing continues if we sit by and allow it. Until it happens to you, you sit in silence. You shake your head and say “that is so wrong”. Mea culpa. They come for me next…….and you.

  16. Donella says:

    Trudeau had to bring in a stronger police force to protect the police. Next they’ll bring in military to guard the guards who are policing the quieted streets. Then they’ll need a bigger army of guards to oversee the guards guarding the police who are guarding the “citizens”.

    And on it will go until eventually these tribal leaders will themselves be prisoners of their own making. The circle of guarding will tighten around them. They will have to be guarded while retreat into their massive underground safe-cities where they can pretend to live happily until they start eating each other.

    The same guarding of guards will happen there too. Paranoia will set in and then they’ll have to start asking themselves if all of their attempts to control the uncontrollable right of individual freedom was worth it. They’ll become useless in their own organized TERRITORY.

  17. Laura says:

    Initially, I was so hopeful about the trucker convoy, and I thought the world was really “sticking it to the man”. But now I’m getting annoyed at parents who are still begging abusive school boards to end mask “mandates” and I just want protester to get on with their lives. Parents are willingly and knowingly sending their children into the hands of predators. I wonder what is the point of these protests – what is the end game? People are still begging the government to “drop the mandates”. The protesters are disrupting their own lives, their families’ lives, and the economy. The govt isn’t really being inconvenienced at all – the govt is laughing at these protests. Neither the govt nor employers nor schools have any legal authority to “mandate” anything, so no one is required to follow these nonsensical, unconstitutional “mandates” in the first place. So, these “protests” are moot. It’s as simple as saying no thank you and living our lives withing the frame of the constitution. I used that tactic with my own employer, and it worked beautifully. I asked my employer to show me where he had the legal authority to force me to have any type of unwanted medical procedure/test/mask. He conceded that he did not have any authority and that was that. I got everything in writing, and I have never tested, vaxxed or masked. We have made this situation more complicated than it needs to be. It is more powerful to “protest” with peaceful noncompliance and live a successful life than to give the false impression that the govt actually has the power to control our lives through mandates. Correct me if I’m missing something, but these elaborate protests are actually emboldening the govt. People are still wanting the govt to “save” them and give permission to live freely. People still have the same mentality…”we need to replace this corrupt govt with a better govt”. Since when has that worked? Perhaps as better strategy would be to dismantle most of our govt agencies and finally learn the art of self-governance, but that would entail responsibility, creativity and an end to free hand-outs.

    • Jimmy says:

      “…the govt is laughing at these protests..”

      Actually, they’re not. The governments of the world are terrified by these protests, which is why they are doubling down on the absurdity. They know the whole game is coming unravelled, and they are desperate.

      Give up if you want; go hide in a corner and weep, many will continue to fight the good fight.

    • Right on, Laura! I’m with you on all your points. The protests are useless except to the black magicians and their career clowns who, as you said, LAUGH at the protestors

      I do not wear a Satanic ritual humiliation/conversion muzzle. If a store employee cannot understand that “there is no law” and they become belligerent, I leave and spend my money elsewhere. But I always inform the management and owners in writing that they are operating OUTSIDE OF THE LAW, and that the man-made laws exist to AFFIRM our Creator-given, unalienable rights. No one can confer rights to or remove them from another man or woman: Rights are inherent in our divine beingness!

    Interesting, because I have been trying to put to words a similar thought.

    The amazement for me was a new kind of tactic arising, a new form of mental chess.

    We do this and they do that…

    The witnessed fact that people in the protest were not reacting to the side issues, the intimidation; to react to something outside the cause which was not a group thing but a collection of individuals who were have a similar thought a similar experience of the exercise of power.

    The object is how far will I go in this? How much abuse will I take to allow the tyrant to show his hand and show the world for who he is, as he escalates his means to control and get back what he has lost. His dignity, his mask is tore off.
    He showed himself to be hollow a bully to the world, and not progressive at all, not sincere at all for what he purports, his true face is arrogance and a pretense, and was exposed even to his own and he is unfit to rule even by his masters standards.

    And we know what happens when the left turns on its own, they eat their young…global leadership.

    Everyone has come to a similar place awareness of what is vital to keeping these tyrants in place.
    They assume that great power is undeniable, that the exercise of such power wins all. But it doesn’t because they cause people to look inside themselves at their loss of freedom and what that really means personally; the lockdowns, the masks, the forced medicine placed them into a microcosm of the the whole world. It caused them have sincere empathy for the other Joe, over there, in Europe or South America or where ever. And that insight becomes personal and so a real unification of individuals in a similar life circumstance.

    People are learning how to rebel in such a complex world, they know they are being taunted to riot and burn and pillage, and that, achieves nothing. Violence begets violence and nothing changes…

    Without knowing it…the PTB, have unified people of reason, in anew way and simultaneously they have come to the conclusion that they have, finally had enough of this bullshit about how the world is run.

    At first they witnessed a pretense an orchestrated and arranged piece of financed theater by the ridiculous left; BLM, Antifa, Extinction Rebellion etc, etc…vague, vapid in spirit, street theater and pretension. Having no real value but what was financed by the the controllers.

    Clickbait.

    And we look on at the pure stupidity, but now, I believe they shot themselves in the foot, they have created a Frankenstein of sorts.

    “Freedom exists Outside society”

    Society is oppressive. The tyranny of The Group. And Group Think. And follow-the-leader behaviors. No deviations, ever.

    Free thinking not allowed. Straying outside the lines not allowed. Talking about certain issues not allowed. Thinking about certain issues not allowed.

    Criticizing certain people not allowed. Criticizing certain groups not allowed.

    Approving certain people an absolute requirement. Approving certain groups a requirement and necessity.

    Questioning things not allowed. Not Thinking, a default setting requirement.

    Society is mindless, empty, dead. Soul-less. Dehumanizing and demeaning.

    Groups are a concocted fiction. Nations are concocted fictions. Lines drawn on maps are concocted fictions.

    Many people’s lives are concocted fictions (in fact, ALL lives are).

    Some concocted fictions can be useful. Most concocted fictions are damaging and oppressive.

    We are each created as Free Beings. And then people and society work tirelessly to make sure that we became slaves to What Is.

    Our Source Creator grants us freedom as an unalienable right (not a granted privilege from some fictional concoction).

    Anything or anyone who works against our freedoms is Anti-Life. Anti-Source.

    Outside forces can try to take away your Freedom. But in truth, the only force on the Planet that can make you less free is… YOU.

    • Pam Pursell says:

      “you” is always the issue. When you look in the mirror and blame anyone else you refuse to see the truth. As I read in others reflections the majority of our thinking if we even attempt to think is of our creation. It may be a fiction but it is our fiction. Governments, contracts and affiliations are our having the freedom to agree or disagree with those fictions.

      • Roundball Shaman says:

        ‘’you’ is always the issue. When you look in the mirror and blame anyone else you refuse to see the truth.”

        There are vast numbers of people on this Earth that are utterly incapable of facing the truth about themselves. Whether it is fear or lack of character or poor perception ability or some kind of pathology, they will never ever face who they really are and why they do the things they do. It is as if they were born with a few pieces missing, or are like a machine that was created with defective parts. They simply can’t do it.

        Others can do nothing for these people. No amount of reasoning or revelation or caring persistence or time will reach them because they simply don’t have it inside.

        This is a great loss for them, and for all those around them. And because our World is filled with billions of these people, they – and we – are suffer because of it.

        We all have deficiencies of some sort. But the difference that separates people is that there are many who know they lack something but always try to improve themselves, and many who don’t and wont. And never will.

    Thank you Jon for succinctly reinforcing what I’ve been struggling with my entire life, but have known to be true since a child. I was always a misfit but have grown to be thankful for that. Each lure into society came at a price, because the few times that I took the bait, there was this nasty aftertaste. Thank you for continuing to keep the light on truth and freedom.

    The illusion we’ve been under that we’re any less “slaves” now than at any other time in the past is becoming clear to many.

Me thinks covid will be a fond memory compared to what’s about to be unleashed. 1984 here we come….

    “When an individual ENTERS the space of an unfree society, he declares the ability to act without limit, with responsibility, on the sole condition that he doesn’t diminish the freedom of another. The individual fights for that right.”

    I am a bit mystified by the above paragraph.

    Do you mean a free society or are you saying that there
    is no such thing as a free society.

    If people get together they have formed a society of
    some form.

    The individual’s freedom must be at least limited by
    his own conscience and I agree his freedom must not
    diminish the freedom of another.

    No man is an island,
    Entire of itself,
    Every man is a piece of the continent,
    A part of the main.
    If a clod be washed away by the sea,
    Europe is the less.
    As well as if a promontory were.
    As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
    Or of thine own were:
    Any man’s death diminishes me,
    Because I am involved in mankind,
    And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
    It tolls for thee.

  31. nmbsp says:

    Excellent and extremely important main point.

    But for the rest, unfortunately or fortunately, things are not that simple.

    Because people naturally (and rightly) want to live in some kind of “organized group”, and therefore in some kind of “society”.
    And then, we don’t really “enter” and “exit” just like that, instead we are actually “born” into a system that is there already, and not just any system, but a system that’s full of manipulation, deception, fraud, and exploitation/slavery.

    And then, “by default” even one’s existence technically “diminishes the “freedom” of another” (particularly of those that are conflicting in their preferences/choices with him/her).

    And then, there are also the “consequences”. As well as the matter of what our nature, and the nature of what we call “reality”, actually are. Because freedom is technically, essentially, always there, but, in effect, there are “rules”, “limits” and “consequences” (both natural and otherwise), and then there is the matter of consciousness/perception. (and a “sole condition” is still a condition)
    So the “freedom” concept is not as simple.

    And I think Jon also conflates freedom with “individual rights” a little bit. No one declares that they act without limit (except the criminals running the show maybe), and no one would be able to act without limit anyway (as far as we know at least), even if they declare it (and that applies to those criminals also by the way). And the “responsibility” is also relative, essentially, to the “current/contemporary” beliefs/perception/consciousness again.

    Just read “MEET YOUR STRAWMAN AND WHATEVER YOU WANT TO KNOW”. I quote, “All humans are born equal, with complete freedom of choice.”

    Check out the Government of Canada on Dun & Bradstreet to begin to understand that this is a commercial entity.

      Elizabeth you started a conversation that needs to be continued, your quote is indeed correct, but shortly after birth a process called a Birth Certificate is created that implies consent was granted to “volunteer” to become a legal fiction as someone else suggested. Somebody mentioned prior about the “Strawman” which is an embodiment of the legal fiction. So apparently slavery or involuntary servitude was abolished, but what if they get you to “volunteer” to be a slave. By that process they have you by contract.

      How do they do that?

      Take a look at all your documents that you have. Any government document, drivers license, credit cards, utility bills, anything with your name. What do they all have in common? Your name is in all capital letters. Must be a mistake? No, not so much. What they did was turn you into a corporation to facilitate commerce with the government which as you pointed out, is a commercial entity.

      Commerce is trade between corporations. Since the government is a corporation they only way they can have any influence over you because you agreed to be a slave when the birth certificate was registered. They just didn’t tell you so you would keep playing their little game not knowing how to get off the ride. Turns out anything with all caps letters is either: 1) A ship on the seas (Admiralty jurisdiction) 2) a corporation (a dead legal fiction, a corpse; get it? 3) a dead person. Go to any cemetery what do all the residents headstones have in common? Their names are all in all caps letters which signifies that they are deceased. A corpse, no longer alive. So through the birth certificate there are things they didn’t tell you, like you agreed to a contract that binds you to involuntary servitude. You agreed to be a slave with the birth certificate bond and contract.

      So how do we join the living? Rebut the assumption and presumption that you agreed to this arrangement. You didn’t and that is what makes it criminally fraud because a binding contract requires that BOTH parties expressly agree to the terms and there must be something called full disclosure of the terms of the contract. Think of it as the “fine print” that we all dislike about contracts. Without full disclosure of the terms and conditions of the agreement, the contract is void because fraud vitiates all contracts. Poof…

      Well that is what is supposed to happen in commerce and there are plenty of legal practitioners that toil for currency to review it all. As a corporation providing “government services” what we think of as government is really no different as a corporation, than Dairy Queen. Really it’s sort of that simple, they no more right to influence us than Walmart. But they don’t tell you that and people don’t really go looking for it unless the get red-pilled like this.

      So go looking for it. The truth really will set you free.

    Excellent!

    Without having read this posting, I was speaking yesterday with a friend whose husband is an active duty soldier, and it was difficult to convey to her exactly what it was that made freedom impossible, under or within the current regime and/or system in which we find ourselves.

    You explained it better than I had, and I will send her this posting.

    Thank you, Jon.

    Interesting, but also consider this, to quote Arlo Guthrie, you can’t have dark without a light to stick it in,”

    Freedom is freedom from community constraints – which might be familial, tribal, religious, or any of many layers of corporate or government constraints.

    When an individual is not a part of any community we might view them as without “constraints” but they are not “free from any specific constraints” because no constraints exist. They are not free from the rule of any communities because there are no constraints to be free from. Adam, alone in the garden, might be described as “free” but because there were no constraints to be free of.

    The battle for freedom is the battle to build communityies, to build constraints.

    When big corporations rule, we lose freedom because we are not free to develop independent communities – small and large – which create and live by different rules. That’s freedom.

    – “There can be NO free-society, where the People are not also able to voluntarily leave it.”

    – “Government is not reason. It is force, and like fire – is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
