There are certainly levels of freedom. As the quote suggests just feeling liberty is a kind of blissful ignorance. 15 years ago I moved from Texas to Belize largely to pursue this feeling of freedom. Conditioning plays a huge role in accepting less and less freedom. The most difficult part of it is finding others who have discovered their conditioning and have begun to remedy it. Until you find face to face people to speak freely of these issues likely you may feel alone in these thoughts but you are not alone. I suggest this podcast. It is very good and focused on cognitive liberty. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/peacerevolution
