Freedom is a word which as no meaning, man can never get absolute freedom. This word is used by western media to threaten other nations.
For human real freedom is only in becoming God's slave. Man can't be free from God.

Most simply put, freedom is the ability to choose. We can have freedom in many ways and on many levels. When you take away anothers choice you have essentially taken their freedom.
Example do you have more than one choice for your dinner entree tonight? If yes then you are free to choose. Many people do not have a choice for dinner, they must eat what they have. In America people have freedom of religion, which simply means that they may choose their own spirituality. When someone commits a crime....let's say rape as it is a good example of trampling anothers freedom....the perpetrator has essentially denied the victim the freedom/choice whether or not to participate.
Freedom comes in many forms...each of them with a price.

What Do You Think Freedom Is?
In The Spiritual Sense, MOST People Want Freedom From The Consequences Of Their Actions - They Want To Do EXACTLY What They Please WITHOUT Paying The Price For It.

There is no such thing as true Freedom. True freedom is to be able to voice any opinions. That is truely freedom or free will.
Even in a perfect heaven sin can take place but someone will stop such action from taking place so there is no true freedom. That also means heaven is not a perfect sinless place since one can rebel. If one can rebel then this means they have free will to chose their destiny.
Bottomline is heaven is not a sinless place. Evil act can indeed take place if such a place is real. Just like any other places, one can decide to commit evil or sin or good deeds.

Freedom is the ability to live life as one pleases without unnecessary regulations; within reason, of course.

Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. There is freedom from sin, freedom from death. Is that what you are looking for?

Your existence in this World is based upon bondage. If "you are" then bondage will be there with names and forms. If "you are not there" (e.g. meditation) then you are free. For example deep-sleep (dream without sleep, when "you are not") is a flash of freedom.
In day to day spiritual life, it means that we should minimize our dependencies on objects/ideas.

Libertarianism, political philosophy emphasizing the rights of the individual. The doctrine of libertarianism stresses the right to self-ownership and, by extension, the right to private ownership of material resources and property. Advocates oppose any form of taxation and favor a laissez-faire economic system.
The doctrine was espoused by American anarchists in the 19th century. Libertarianism reappeared in U.S. political thinking in the 1970s, representing an assertion of individual liberty in the face of growing government involvement in all aspects of life. The Libertarian Party was founded in the U.S. in 1972. Since then its candidates have run for political office, including the presidency, in all 50 states, but it has not won enough adherents to be a major political force.

The course of liberalism in a given country is usually conditioned by the character of the prevailing form of government. For example, in countries in which the political and religious authorities are separate, liberalism connotes, mainly, political, economic, and social reform; in countries in which a state church exists or a church is politically influential, liberalism connotes, mainly, anticlericalism. In domestic politics, liberals have opposed feudal restraints that prevent the individual from rising out of a low social status; barriers such as censorship that limit free expression of opinion; and arbitrary power exercised over the individual by the state. In international politics, liberals have opposed the domination of foreign policy by militarists and military considerations and the exploitation of native colonial people, and they have sought to substitute a cosmopolitan policy of international cooperation. In economics, liberals have attacked monopolies and mercantilist state policies that subject the economy to state control. In religion, liberals have fought against church interference in the affairs of the state and attempts by religious pressure groups to influence public opinion.
A distinction is sometimes made between so-called negative liberalism and positive liberalism. Between the mid-17th and the mid-19th centuries, liberals fought chiefly against oppression, arbitrariness, and misuses of power and emphasized the needs of the free individual

Freedom is not doing what you can, but doing what you ought to do instead. God bless.
