All the great spiritual teachings ultimately point to a freedom that has nothing to do with self-improvement or control. — Darryl Bailey
The greatest freedom that we have is the freedom to walk away from ourselves.
Ultimately, the reasons that the book is called the Courage to be Disliked and the point that the authors are making is that, in order to be free, you need to have the courage to be disliked.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Freedom from what? From unhelpful and oftentimes damaging habitual patterns of being that have built up over the course of your life – through no fault of your own besides a lack of awareness of this process happening. – person.michael-ashcroft
Freedom ist what you do with what's been done to you – Jean Paul Sartre
"If you learn to live in joy regardless of the way life seems to be, the world literally has to reflect this bliss back to you."
Trying to be aware is like trying to exist. You're already Here! You are awareness. You exist! Does existence have a problem with existence? ...or are problems simply a fabrication of thought? Nothing wrong with that but if it becomes a hyper-focus it is like a prison!
But the joke of it is, that in this simple acknowledgment of existence, it is immediately self-evident that existence is always already free in the midst of anything. So either attention is mesmerized with the flickering's of thoughts or is not deeming it more important than this very instant of Existence that is not held in time.
Again and again...skip a beat. Don't grab onto interpretations for an instant or 2-5 seconds. It is embarrassingly self-evident. You are already always Free!
spark of recognition - knows that you are there you are the only constant in your life, you are what you are looking for
there is nothing that is not life ask yourself is it?(yes)
Universe does not have a preference, you are the one having a preference The universe is waiting for you.
Tu ich mir leicht mich anzupassen aufgrund von neuen Ideen und Erkenntnisse über das menschliche Gehirn oder andere Bereiche weil es eindeutig sinn macht bzw einfach der Realität entspricht oder bleibt mein verhalten unverändert? eventuelle antwort: The idea that our preference graph, feelings and goals come high in our hierarchy more than pure memory is interesting. Emotion is the trigger and the filter. Stuff has to matter before it reaches memory. The act of sharing makes things matter more
