Hi Tom and all,
Just read Chapters 1, 2 and 3 in the staircase format, I found it quite a good experience.

For a long time I have been looking for a way that people could create art and then post it on the website. It is one way to express experience with The Philosophy of Frredom. I have used it successfully in an in-person study group with participants using paper and crayons to do a sketch about a chapter in POF and then show it to the others.

I think the important point being made in chapter 1 of POF is to understand the prevalent illusion of freedom. Why seek freedom if you already believe you are free? This writing outline begins with 12 familiar descriptions of freedom and then presents a view questioning the freedom. Then an example of the unfreedom is given. Lastly a step to increase self-awareness and grow in freedom is given.
