Everyone loves freedom, but freedom is indeed an illusion. There are numerous limitations in our brain and in our world that do not let us decide what to do as we imagine.

We are limited by our psychological type, which determines our behavior. We are also limited by many pre-established behavior patterns.

On the other hand, we are constantly influenced or completely controlled by the wild and primitive side of our brain, which has not evolved like our human side. Whenever the primitive part of our brain controls our behavior, we become slaves to our wild nature.

If we analyze the workings of our world and the way we live, we will be forced to admit that there is no real freedom in any case. We are always limited by various factors that do not depend on our personal decisions.

We are induced to act one way or another because we follow the global mindset. We don’t have the chance to see a bigger picture of our reality because we are deceived by lies and misconceptions.

We are constantly bombarded by advertisements and induced to imitate the behavior of violent TV heroes. We are influenced by the opinions of others all the time, especially when we read newspapers, magazines, and blogs.

We are also influenced by our social environment, by our family and friends, and by many false idols admired by everyone.

Freedom only makes sense when we free ourselves from prison or slavery. Otherwise, freedom is just a myth.

We have to constantly conform to countless impositions.

On the other hand, we have to work hard to survive and pay our bills. We don’t have enough time to think about the meaning of our life. We are always busy with our obligations.

Even when we believe that we are free to decide what to do, all our decisions are influenced by many factors. Our decisions are actually several options that we are forced to accept because we are limited by our social position, our financial power, and many other situations.

We don’t choose anything freely. We just adapt to solutions that seem to be best for us when we choose one or another alternative that is available to us.

Therefore, if you believe you have the freedom to decide what to do, you don’t see all the restrictions that limit your choices.

On the other hand, you are also deluded by the false impression that freedom is something good. Freedom is dangerous for a number of reasons you probably don’t know.

The wild part of your brain is constantly trying to force you to abandon your moral principles and accept the immorality and madness imposed by the world. Therefore, if you do not respect various moral rules, you will gradually lose your sanity.

Maybe you don’t know that your moral principles actually protect your mental health as Carl Jung discovered, and that’s why you think you should be free to do whatever you want.

However, when you disrespect your moral principles, you end up accepting the absurd suggestions of the primitive and wild side of your brain and the immorality of the world.

Your freedom is actually a dangerous false impression that can turn you into a victim of your wild side.

You should prefer to obey the guidance of the wise unconscious mind in your dreams rather than follow your ignorant conscience to avoid becoming a victim of the primitive part of your brain.

Your wild self is always sending you many absurd thoughts with the intention of generating a mental illness in your conscience. If you do not obey the wise unconscious guidance in your dreams, you will inevitably fall victim to the primitive side of your brain, which is stronger than your conscience because it occupies most of your brain.

The Limitations of Your Conscience

Your conscience is ignorant. When you think based on your conscience, you think based on what little knowledge you have as a human being. Your knowledge depends on the knowledge of your historical period and your personal studies. You are very far from wisdom.

Your conscience is selfish. All your conscious thoughts are self-centered. You instinctively believe that you should protect your ego more than anything else.

However, your ego is absurd because it is selfish and always wants to be in a superior position. Your ego doesn’t let you see reality as it really is and only pays attention to what seems to be convenient for you to be able to impose what you want.

Your conscience is one-sided. Your conscience has not been fully developed.

You have four psychological functions based on:

1. Thoughts

2. Feelings

3. Sensations

4. Intuition

However, you use only one fully developed psychological function in your conscience and a part of a second psychological function. Two and a half psychological functions are not helping you solve your problems. On the contrary, they create problems because they belong to the primitive part of your brain, as they are not conscious.

So, when you think based on your conscience, you see only one side of what you are analyzing: the side that your favorite psychological function can see and some of what the second partially developed psychological function in your conscience can see.

However, your reality is complex. You have to see all points of your reality to have a total vision.

You should use all of your psychological functions rather than judging everything based on just one fully developed psychological function in your conscience and a second partially developed psychological function.

In order to develop all your psychological functions, you must obey the directions of the unconscious mind in your dreams.

The unconscious mind is wise and helps you have sound mental health and achieve true happiness. When you follow the unconscious wisdom in dreams, you understand the meaning of your actions and the meaning of your life.

The true meaning of dream language was discovered by Carl Jung, who was a true genius not properly recognized by our hypocritical world.

The unconscious mind produces your dreams precisely to help you fight your wild and absurd self. That’s why most dreams reflect dangerous situations.

Your wild and primitive side does not allow you to find peace. It keeps bothering you because it wants to control your behavior and get rid of your human side.

You must protect your sanity and be concerned about ensuring your mental stability. That’s why you should prefer to obey the unconscious guidance in your dreams rather than wanting to be free.

The primitive side of your brain can easily impose its absurd ideas while you believe that this is what ‘you’ want.

You need unconscious guidance to be able to separate your conscious thoughts from the absurd thoughts sent by your wild self.

Many people partially lose their conscience when they become adults and are eternal victims of various mental illnesses.

Don’t be like them. You have the chance to eliminate all dangers and find sanity forever thanks to the wisdom of the unconscious mind that produces your dreams.

So, don’t imitate the example of those who prefer to be free to make mistakes. Be superior.

You can evolve and ensure your sanity and happiness by precisely obeying the directions of the wise unconscious mind instead of making costly mistakes.
