Chaos has always sought to increase its possibilities of expression and to diversify its manifestations. During the course of evolution of life there have been many stagnant periods, and even some reversals. But overall, chaos favours the most flexible, adaptable, inclusive, and complex creatures, cultures, men and ideas. To seek these qualities is to achieve more liberation than any bizarre feat of renunciation or reorganization of political power is likely to create.
It is the possibility of change which is important. Every new form of liberation is destined to eventually become another form of helotry for most of its adherents. There is no freedom from duality on this plane of existence, but one may at least aspire to choice of duality.
Liberating behaviour is that which increases one's possibilities for future action. Limiting behaviour is that which tends to narrow one's options. The secret of freedom is not to be drawn into situations where one's number of alternatives becomes limited or even unitary.
This is an abominably difficult path to tread. It means stepping outside of one's own culture, society, relationships, family, personality, beliefs, prejudices, opinions, and ideas. It is just these comfortable chains which seem to give definition, meaning, character and a sense of belonging to most people. Yet, in casting off one's chains, one cannot avoid adopting another set unless one wishes to live in a very reduced and impoverished style - itself a limitation.
The solution is to become a generalist. Someone who can think, believe, or do any of a half dozen things is more free and liberated than someone confined to only one activity.
Chief among the techniques of liberation are those which weaken the hold of society, convention, and habit over the initiate, and those which lead to a more expansive mental map.
