Can anyone explain the Freedom from want?

Freedom from lacking something that you need ie. food, clothes, shelter ...

Yours requires that you take in your understanding of dichotomies, the inescapable contradictions in life that we all face.

Peer closely into what you are seeking: You have in great measure answered your question. 'Fascinating, isn't it? Here: say if we indeed had freedom from darkness, with the element of darkness totally removed, would we not have caused in turn an even greater dilemma?: Do we not need darkness to have light, and require of light to know what darkness is?

’Mock up -- in your imagination -- an instance in which you have wiped out light or dark. Or -- try to measure yourself in the void of deep space, and then endeavor to determine just how successful you would be at 'determining' or accurately measuring how tall or large or heavy you are without a foil against which to measure yourself.

Everything is this world needs its anchor -- its reason for being.

This is inescapable; it is a fundamental reflex of duality and is why dichotomies are brain-racking. Physicists have grappled with this feature for untold decades.

Here we consider this: The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And so you will not know what you will have caused by assuming one thing against another. Some unforeseen event would occur by having achieved whatever that is that you are seeking freedom from.

For example again -- wipe out sadness overall, everywhere in every world, every planet, every universe that it exists, and you will come to realize that you will never know or see or have happiness. See? Furthermore, know that without having had the one, you will not have known what having had some other was to have been in the first place. See? ...

For how do you know that you do not know? This is stark and indicates just how significant or not we are to all creation.

It is the idea and adage that "There are two sides to every coin." And this is true.

Consider: would one truly wish to be free from the want of what his question here conveys he wants and is asking about? What do you know would occur if you should succeed at attaining freedom from Want. Well, something would have to give -- something else would be brought into existence, for in Nature voids are prohibitive; something has to occur from removing the one and not expect the exact opposite of your first intention.

Here still again we may ask: What, herewith, is the indication if you were free from the want of this question, that is, if you were to dissolve of the very impetus that underpins the very seed of it? Consider what void would ensue if your answer were fulfilled, and with what would you import to replace the void caused by having acquired the explanation?

I would suggest not seek the explanation as much as understand the effects of having achieved it, if of course it were ever at all possible. Toy with it. For that is about as much as you can do with it.

Do not make objective the very thing that is so inexorably tied to you and everything that exists, has existed and will exist in any medium of duality.

You are in the middle of the thing -- you are it -- and are being that very thing -- which you are attempting to draw clarity to.

Please re do your question & let me know what freedoms you mean? Religious freedoms? Or the freedoms guaranteed us in this Country?

Essentially, it's being content with what you have.
