If you’re reading this, it’s likely you live in a country in which there is a lot of outer freedom, but there are two kinds of freedom: inner and outer.

I realise my pilgrimage is more about my inner freedom, though Erich Fromm rightly reminds me both are necessary for what he names radical or  revolutionary Humanism.

Fromm names greed and illusions as the things which shackle Humans; Henri Nouwen points to aloneness, hostility, and illusion as those things which hinder us from becoming who we potentially can be.  Otto Scharmer identifies a closed mind, closed heart, and closed will as the things which prevent us from becoming future Humans.  I often find myself thinking on pride, greed, and foolishness as being my monsters within.  All of these, and more, provide us with rich ways and means for focusing on where we need to struggle for our inner freedom.
