(Long pause at 9:23.) I have said this before: the best way to solve a problem is to concentrate upon various solutions vigorously—and then to turn your minds to other subjects, divert yourselves while allowing the creative power some freedom. [...]

[...] His creative self knows he wants to publish another book, and will easily provide the means when it is given some freedom and not told what it must do. [...]

His sudden desire to dance and the freedom came fairly quickly after you started going out again. [...]

[...] That is why when the two of you met as a unit, so to speak, with the Rochester group (last week) that he allowed himself greater freedom, and in that context he believed you approved. [...]

[...] The things you both strongly agreed upon were allowed freedom within those limitations. [...]

I need freedom and agility of thought, where he tends to repress me unless I conform to definite ideas of good and wrong. [...]

[...] There is a great division of energy, as there is in all creators, but in his case between the need for spontaneity and discipline, safety and freedom, and these are clearly seen in the body’s condition right now.

For many years, at least seven, he has been deeply concerned about your work, a repressive element in it, and the psychic freedom he felt you needed to release it. [...]

The passages allow him to give me freedom, and also release the physical mechanism to some notable degree. [...]

(To Florence.) And if you trusted your spontaneous self, then you would allow yourself greater freedom. [...] It gives you a framework that you can trust in which you can allow yourself freedom. You cannot allow yourself freedom within conventional religion at this time because of your own ideas. You cannot allow yourself freedom without any framework because you are afraid of what you will find, so you had better take advantage of the framework that is here presented to you. [...]

[...] He can do far better, and the way to begin is to allow the spontaneous self as much freedom as he can in daily life, and to trust its expression—that it knows his psychic and creative needs, his physical needs, his social and financial needs, and all of these can be taken care of.

Again, to some extent now (underlined), both of you wanted a framework that would allow you what you thought of as freedom to work. [...]

[...] You were both loath to leave your work behind and to allow yourselves the “lax” freedom. [...]

You have never allowed yourselves creative decorating freedom here, for example, and thus denied yourselves considerable satisfaction. [...]

(Pause.) In your realm of reality, there is no real freedom but the freedom of ideas, and there is no real bondage except for the bondage of ideas (intently), for your ideas form your private and mass reality. [...]

Because of its relative freedom, however, the self, returning from the dream world, can impart to the individual knowledge of much the physical self could not ordinarily be aware. [...]

[...] In actual practice this takes a supreme development, but even for general purposes the inner self retains a freedom from camouflage perspectives, and is aware in varying degrees of other perspectives, and of its existence outside of them.

Through the inner senses, therefore, some enlightenment can be received as to both the actual existence of dimensions that the physical self cannot perceive; and also through the inner senses, a sense of confidence and continuity can be achieved through the inner self’s knowledge of its freedom.

[...] A family tyrant, for example, may have no physical symptoms at all, yet be quite obsessed with controlling the family members, stuffing the household with regulations, limiting the family’s freedom, or whatever. [...]

If he understands that, then he has full freedom and full safety.

[...] As dreams allow the inner self great freedom, and as in dreams great perspectives of time are available, and great freedom in space, though no space as you know it is involved, so it is possible for the ego itself to achieve the experience of freedom from time and space, if it would only allow itself for a short while to relax the intensity of its objective focus.

Once more: Ruburt begins to realize he can have full freedom of motion, without feeling that he will be forced to run away. [...] He can stay and face a situation through, and have full freedom of motion. [...] He can also use freedom of motion to help.

[...] Yet as there is great variety to physical form, so counterparts follow a still more expansive inner freedom that finds an even greater diversity of characteristics.

(All emphatically and joyously:) In your terms, the world is intensely different from one moment to another, with each smallest portion of consciousness choosing its reality from a field of infinite probabilities.³ Immense calculations, far beyond your conscious decisions as you think of them, are possible only because of the unutterable freedom that resides within minute worlds inside your skull — patterns of interrelationships, counterparts so cunningly woven that each is unique, freewheeling, and involved in an infinite cooperative venture so powerful that the atoms stay in certain forms, and the same stars shine in the sky.

In the light of such ideals, surely you seem wanting — yet your reality is one in which the greatest freedoms have been allowed. [...]

[...] You will find you have a lot more freedom when you are not clothed in flesh. [...]

[...] But if he seems afraid it is because he fears, in an exaggerated manner, that if given freedom he would want you, and you would consider this disruptive, of work and schedule.

Once you’ve touched the doorknob and once you turn it, the energy and vitality and freedom that you will feel will overwhelm you, and make your daily lives more vital, and you can use your energies and direct them. [...]

[...] There is only freedom and strength and joy and vitality. [...]

[...] But instead of facing up to a considerable change in life-style, I panicked and felt myself to be almost assaulted, forced into a life that offered less and less physical freedom. [...]

[...] For now I understood that freedom of motion was at least one true reflection of an individual’s creative potential.

It would also release new ideas in your paintings and give you a sense of freedom in dealing with various techniques and media. [...] You choose and have the freedom to choose. [...]

[...] This was largely out of self-interest, and the many Protestant faiths are a proof of the fragmentation that results when man is given some freedom to interpret his relationship with God himself.

That freedom, however, of course has been highly limited in nature, for the dogma of Christianity still largely held. [...]

In the dream state you allow yourself greater freedom, trying out certain ideas and beliefs in this more plastic framework. [...]

[...] Because there is more freedom from time and space in the dream state, there is greater overall perspective; many solutions that may appear poor in the short range — as they are physically activated — will in the longer range be seen as highly creative.

[...] Here you have great freedom both individually and as a race. [...]
