This will be hard to explain but here goes, the ultimate freedom is having nothing left to lose. In reality we are all captive to something. Can't live without your morning coffee? How many hours of TV or computer time do you spend a day? Got to have that sugar fix? Do you use cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc? Are you obsessed with getting the perfect body? Do you get mad if they miss delivering the Sunday paper? The questions could go on & on. The point is we are not really free, we are all captive to some addiction. Yes, if you just have to spend that hour every Sunday with the paper it is addiction. So, the ultimate freedom would to be really free. To have no thing in this world that I feel "hooked" to in any way. It would take a entire lifetime to achieve if it where the only thing you worked on, & that makes it the ultimate freedom. Thanks for a great thought provoking question.

I would say the freedom to choose, or free will, but in today's society that isn't a true freedom since choice is dictated not only by rules and laws, but by societal norms and standards. The only true freedom would come in the absence of such restrictions, but then, you are unable to be free because chaos would rule, further restricting you than the laws and regualtions that serve to create order. So really there is nothing that truly encompasses freedom by the nature of what exactly freedom is. Except, prehaps, in America the freedom to get pregnant, there seems to be no restrictions on that aside from those imposed on the act of sex.
In my world, the Ultimate Freedom comes in my sleep, when I experience peace, and I can be anywhere with anyone at anytime doing anything, now that is freedom.

The freedom to choose is the ultimate freedom.

The ultimate freedom is death. It's the driving force of life, to have control and ultimately survive. Rules and laws are there to control us and keep us from freedom.--Protecting us from ourselves, if you will.
Death is the reason for belief structures and also the reason for a belief in the afterlife--A belief in the possibility of something better, something free. I'm not condoning self-destruction, but freedom in a spiritual sense, ironically, is just that.

Well you use the word 'Ultimate' in the same breath with 'Freedom.'
Therefore, the answer is indeed -- ' Divine Will ' as the ultimate freedom.

Our perception is the realm in which we manifeste ultimate freedom. We have no choice but to be able to interpret any situation in any number of ways. This is our binding to freedom.
