There are so many elements of freedom. And it seems like the lines are so blurry haha 😂 In my opinion, and I am totally open to being wrong, I think the majority of people wouldn't understand freedom comes from within. I think people are so deeply conditioned and most of the people on this planet don't have the intrinsic motivation to seek that inner freedom. So although they may think they have freedom of thought, many (if not most) people don't actually have this freedom. They are perpetually stuck in front of multiple screens telling them what to think, what to fear and what to do, even how to live. In New Zealand, people's outer freedom was technically there. However, the government is using systematic violence (coercion, manipulation and threats) to ensure people stay in line. For example, during covid times, people were bullied and coerced into taking vaccines. People who refused became the target of the programmed masses. The sheeple attacked those who were treading slowly. This is the heaviness, the hard, the stripping of humanity that I guess I tap into in the more developed nations. On that front, NZ is doing terribly. Many laws sneakily passed to ensure the government retains full control. I think where I was going with the financial side of things is the vibrational aspect. I know that in many homes two parents working full time jobs barely make ends meet. That kind of life doesn't seem free to me, and that is the reality for a big proportion of the kiwi population. And I know that to change this, it has to start with the people and their mindset, but it's almost like the majority are trapped n in a zombie like bubble. So there is no progress unless people see and recognise they are being conditioned. I don't know if I'm making sense. I totally need to journal on this stuff 😆
