My liberation is not in rescuing the Self from the chain of causation. My freedom is that ‘I’ can insert myself as a cause in the world. We like doing things. We make a difference by acting. We make the world. We imagine it differently. Our freedom is the fact that we are agents. The world is different because we act. It is sometimes made beautiful because we create lovely things. It is sometimes more dangerous because we ruin it by our actions – our freedom gives us the power to put the whole of earth into peril.
