You are free to think what your experiences have prepared you to think. We are a result of our learning. To learn outside the box is rare and to receive paranormal direction is even more rare. Usually it is not understood very well. Your ancestors are sending you messages by a wee small voice.

Thought is the automatic, conditioned response of memory when it meets the challenge of the present moment. The memory of the past is what 'thinks', not an independent you who can pick and choose, change and discard. When you 'practice' changing your thoughts, positive thinking, being in control, or what have you, you are merely conditioning yourself, through repetition and habit, to be aware of your 'new' thoughts, but it doesn't change the process of thinking, its nature, or the depths beneath your 'new' thoughts. Freedom to think implies freedom, and freedom implies observing this total phenomena of thought so as to see, without interfering, its actual nature. When there is awareness of thoughts actual nature, there is the untangling of the individual from who and what you thought you were.

yes, your free to think what you want it's when you mention it in front of others that poses the problem. You don't really have freedom of speech, unless you have the money to back it up, or pay the lawyers when you are sued.

No. There are social norms and if you think too far out there, you'll wind up in the loony bin. If people have an odd sense of humor or act shy, they are labelled as weird. You can only think what at least 100 other people think, or the sheep freak.

of course you are. and no one will ever know, unless you tell them.
philosophically, of course, minds have been tampered with through the ages by education, socialization, etc. But you still can think whatever you wish. you may not be free to act on those thoughts and you may suffer some consequences if you reveal your thoughts to others. but you still can think them.
