Who is the judge and for what purpose?

The whole thing is who gets to define anything, and for what purpose?

The weaponisation of language undermines the consciousness that accepts it as a framework and currency of communication and exchange.

Who live by the sworded word, dies by their own measure.

Thinking about freedom can seem to be free, in the same way thinking about anything can seem to be free. The mind is on one level an object modelling of meanings as an interface with - and mask over a Reality that has one Quality - designated by such words as being, existence, actuality, presence, but the moment we qualify this Quality that is universal to All That Is - we engage in definition, and generate an experience or result.

The world we 'share' even as a realm of conflicting and competing narrative assertions, is an augmented or modelled and extended experience.

We are free to engage in self-illusion, but we are not free to make it true. 

Reality-bubbles are temporary by definition.

Invested self-definitions lead to desperate and destructive resort as a fear of pain and loss - as both conflict and sacrifice - unless and until those definitions are re-evaluated and released for a more truly aligned sense of self and world relative to who we now accept ourselves to be - rather than as a product of a past made in fear, grievance and anger.

Freedom is not at the body level and therefore not strictly applicable to speech, but the body and the action of expression is the vehicle or expression of a Mind that is free in its original nature - but also free to chain or entrain itself to attachment and identity set in possession and control - which then claim 'freedom' in the terms of whatever context these apply. And so  bound free will, is a doublethink in terms or a self-contradiction of innate conflict operating as Garbage in; garbage out.

Loss of peace and joy in being is the cost of conflicted purpose or mind, and so the correction is to look at the underlying beliefs that give rise to the dissonance. But the habit of chasing investment in the 'world' will seek to change the realm of effects in order to again 'feel better'. This may start out crudely - but will learn the arts of manipulation, and masking disguise in childhood. Those who are most driven will develop these abilities in ways that become, applied behavioural psychology, social engineering, propaganda and stark coercion backed deceits.

I sought to sketch a contribution that is not 'already polarised' in an already wheel rutted futility.

We ARE free to live the consequences of our acts - which have relational reflection and exchange, but in attempt to evade what truly belongs to us - as the fruits of our giving, or as the teaching and learning in shared experience of relationship as Life, we can and do 'redefine' our meanings and mind, as a way to limit and outsource or externalise our conflicts and debts onto others who for their own reasons are willing to 'eat our sin' under narratives that promise the opposite of what they deliver - to the misidentified and confused attempt to find external solution to inner conflicts.

In this the victim and victimiser meet and share in the 'making' of an external separate locked down world of masking meanings that MUST be protected against Disclosure for survival in the context of the 'fear-evasive' manipulation of a mind set over the presence of Life.

The generating of a 'new' mind and world that is being manually attempted is a contraction of the old possession and control (fear) narrative continuity, given more ingenious and sophisticated tools operating systemically as a fear incentivised bias to be set in the minds of 'the Many' as their common purpose of normalised collective sacrifice in return for a lottery of abuse framed as moral salvation.

I am certain there is a better way than mass sacrifice to idols of control as a result of conscious appreciation for freedom of being - as distinct from special personal status within collective agreements that are not at all solid or enduring, such as to set up the fear of threat of loss as the pervasive subjugation that characterises our human conditioning.
