Actual Freedom – Definitions

Definitions

Manumit; Manumission


Manumit:

‘manumit [from Latin manumittere, lit. ‘send out from one’s hand’]: release from slavery; release from bondage or servitude; set free.’ (Oxford Dictionary).

• [generally]: freedom from personal bondage or servitude; the condition of not being confined; liberation.

• [specifically]: released from slavery (from being owned as property) or servitude (from the state of being a slave or a serf); affranchisement.

• [historically]: the action of being released from enslavement or thralldom by the will of the owner or master; voluntarily set free as distinct from the mandatory enfranchisement and/ or affranchisement wrought by emancipation acts of parliaments or other governing councils.

The word manumission is very useful, on occasion, as to be manumitted is to be freed: the word freed stresses being autonomous, the complete absence of being ruled; the word autonomous emphasises independence in self-governance (managing, piloting, conducting); the word independence implies a standing alone, a lack of disempowering interference.

 

Manumission:

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
