Deeper need for freedom

I recently stumbled upon a question which I couldn’t answer initially with my existing perspectives. Why does a creature need freedom? I used to return to survival and evolution for most of the existential questions but this was different.

A small thought experiment to make you understand my chain of thought. Lets say you are the creature here. You are promised all the things you consider good and desirable in this world, but in the order that you can’t control. You are kept safe, healthy, happy and everything positive you can think of. Fighting for survival and raising a family etc. are not your troubles anymore. The only thing that is different is, you can’t do what you want when you want. You need to eat what is given (though pretty good), you need to live the day as is shown to you. Sounds reasonable?

Well that doesn’t sound good enough to say yes to. We cherish our freedom. But why do we want to do what we think? Why couldn’t we leave this to the experts of diet, or to experts of life to direct us at each step? To keep this ideal, we are assuming that these experts are non-human and have no self interests in this. Then we are supposed to be healthy, rich, knowledgeable and quite settled. What else do we want?

This shattered all my reasons I had for how things work around. I recently stumbled on a new theory which is gaining quite a lot of traction these days in the field of physics — holographic theory, and I think this should throw some light on this. It’s possible that I may not do justice to the extent of the concept, we will discuss the relevant parts only, so hold tight with me.

In this previous article (link above), we discussed about our purpose in life. We discussed how we all are interconnected and helping sustain life. Now, going a level deeper, why do we need to sustain life, or preserve the DNA for millions of years? Why is there a cycle of everything in place for the basic elements to sustain life? Why so much effort and grand design?

Holographic principle says the world is a hologram which our brain creates from the frequency of energy around us. There are a lot of experiments and proofs done to validate this. Using this very concept, they also concluded that every part of the universe have the entire universe in it as well, just like a hologram. Even if we take a part of the hologram, it will again be the complete picture. Same goes with how our brain stores everything in a distributed order such that, even with 10% brain working, we can remember everything.

Now, the conclusion we are going to use out of this is, all the data of the universe is present in each part of the universe, that implies we have everything inside us as well. (that’s what our scriptures had also been stressing on). We have all the knowledge and information about the entire universe. Problem is we don’t know how to access that. It’s when we experience something or learn, do we begin using that knowledge or get access to the codes hidden in us.

We are close to answering our question now. So, we need experiences of life to expand ourselves to be able to figure out the vast universe hidden inside us, which is also the universe all around us. It’s when we are free that we can decide what is best for us, what is something we need to do to learn or our subconscious wants us to feel. Tough times in itself are the best teachers. We have based our lives completely to the material aspect which is good in some sense, but that is part of life and not the purpose of life. Just like water is essential for you, doesn’t mean you will only drink it all day, or think about drinking it when you are not. There is more to life than survival, and that is expansion. To be able to become one with the universe which you are in the first place but not aware of. And that’s where your freedom will lead you to.

Now, living every day is an experience in itself. You don’t always need to travel to adventurous places which the wanderlusts propose these days. When you live a day, you live a (n+1)th day where n is what you have lived already. It will always be new statistically, as repeating an activity gives a new experience, since count just keep on increasing and you get a new spark each time. Its complex how things unfold, let Bruce Lee’s quote explain it to you:

So, keep on increasing your experiences each day, be it new or old. Even sitting with your eyes closed is an experience, even if its your first or you do that regularly. Feel free to comment any flaw I might have missed in the above article. I am sure I will be back with another follow-up question on this: why expansion? Maybe because universe expands too, and its a natural law. But till then, live every moment to the fullest as it always unfolds something inside you.
