I was fortunate. Being a ships Engineer enabled me to travel, interact with various people and learn of laws affecting their freedom.
In the Middle East I visited countries where law created a failure of freedom. The people were controlled, limited by law, in what they could think and become. This control or limit of thinking created failure in learning the freedom of thinking. I also visited the only Middle Eastern country where law created freedom, Israel.
The Israelites began thinking of, and learning the freedom of law during their transition from bondage to freedom that began at Mt Sinai. A thinking of law limiting behavior without limiting freedom. A thinking to develop adhering to the law, into the freedom of becoming their own.
During the past year I decided to write about my experiences. I created a problem, a failure of thinking. Resolving this began with writing of a thought process, an interaction of thinking and learning between the conscious and subconscious. A process to create the thinking and learning of self.
I chose then, to live within the limits of law, of not committing murder, adultery, stealing, lying, or coveting. This choosing became a learning of keeping my thoughts and actions within the limits of what is good and true, a learning that created the freedom of becoming my own.
A failure of thinking exists when a person decides to live without effective limits existing within their thinking. Limits require thinking to understand their necessity in learning of the freedom in the development of self. Without the development of limits a person becomes neither their own nor free.
The Jewish people gave to the world, the freedom of learning to think.
