Free Your Mind - What does that mean to you?
You've heard this before in all sorts of contexts - Self Healing, Religions, Get Rich, etc...but what does this really mean?
"Free Your Mind" to me, means let yourself go - be free to act on your intuitions, your most primal feelings, your conscienceness so to speak...Hannibal Lecter touches this when he speaks to young William ( Red Dragon) referencing the other "dullards" who don't think or aren't capable of thought beyond what society has conditioned them to be or believe in.
Does this somehow draw a reference to one's intelligence? Its always been a postulate of mine that those who are - let's just say, not the sharpest knife in the drawer are incapable of thinking beyone their immediate surroundings - somehow anchored by their mind.
Why is it that 'smart people' who are capable of thinking higher thoughts and 'freeing their mind' most often expend a great deal of effort to think acceptable thoughts and act in a manor that is acceptable to society?
Music is a good measure of one's ability to 'free your mind'. If a person is easily moved by music (doesn't really matter the genre so long as its not a fake affinity for classical) then its been my experience that that person is more in touch with life - that is the ability to "think simple" and really understand people.
At any rate, I'm just trying to strike up a good conversation...any takers?
