This is a highly important debate - which to my surprise - we are still avoiding. Yes, we are misunderstanding freedom! And we now have a chance to set straight that misconception.

Over time, I came to agree with J. Krishnamurti: After all we experienced throughout known human history, now to still come and proclaim pure evil exists, is the most evil act that can be performed. There's only goodness (godliness, holiness, wholeness) or unawareness.

This question needs to be explored beyond mind and matter.
