The closest thing I can think of in the MoQ to the
term freedom is Dynamic Quality. Both your definition
and the quote you gave from Krishnamurti, although
Krishnamurti may not have approved of the MoQ, are
similar in some respect. This "choiceless awareness"
is starting to sound synonymous, at least in my head,
to Pirsig's account of experiencing Dynamic Quality.
In addition, your quote of Kristofferson, "nothing
left to lose" when put in the context of "choiceless
awareness" may be more accurately put, "nothing yet to
gain".
Greetings,
Raymond
