Escape from Freedom thru Writing

Anyone, say in psychology, pro/layman, hear of the book Escape from Freedom? I always have liked the title, fantasizing about writing a ms. just feeding of the title, sarcastic sarcasm and not, the ms.to reflect what ideas; political, social, psychological, spiritually, financially, emotionally, academically, I would work up, come up w/ the title as the theme; reworked, rethought, reinterpreted, free of any more unhealthy dependency, codependency, independent, w/ Fromme, the author. The strongest mood came from the idea that although we are technically free where we are, we want to escape from this freedom, which is no longer, and perhaps never was a life of being free. Just rearranging the faces and giving them new names, like Dylan had said. The escape from a "toxic freedom" is the summary topic, standing out, alone and on its own, austere, w/ boldness, risk-taking in a healthy way of uncovering secrets, something art does really well. Just do not kill the messenger. Why this in a writing, creativity blog? This strong feeling, a deep, well-seated idea took to the beingness in the late sixties and a counterculture recovering from the May Fourth Tragedy, Vietnam Conflict, and continuing disappointment of a hatred w/ the anti-counterculture that was meant to be events returned w/ love. This is practicing lovingkindness. Creativity is generous, abundant, communication, and takes the deep secrets and brings them to the surface, always there, to be seen and meant to be accepted as life on life's terms, problems begging for resolution, as well art can be full of solutions just as well, creative solutions, one might say. There is a need to see art surfacing and come up w/ solutions generally, ideas that are "maverick," outside the box, a product, a service that results that allow the "creative well" to fill again, to tap into the well for an increased awareness of conflict, that is an even insightful experience containing a homology of the language, the same everywhere, in phonemes, in root words, prefixes, suffixes, vowel shifts, consanant shifts, from resolving languages to the similarities. And it generates, produces intuition and insights that cannot be disregarded. It is like a multiple intelligences model w/ solutions to problems w/ a worldly perspective in a world that is getting smaller and smaller. See the good in all things? A smaller world brings a sobering diversification that is accepting of diverse situations and guidance to work for the thorny problems' solutions. Within the fish bowl and without.
So I scream at the top of my lungs in the dream, at a short-sighted citizen that is no longer there, gone home to watch the idiot box. Advocates cry, "Give me true freedom, this year's definition, thank you" wanting to escape a facade that we are not in the deeper, below the surface, status, that this is not freedom. Attention and shallow agreement says look at just what is showing, to not delve below the surface, stirring up racing ideas of solutions that take out the cause, not the symptoms, and even more so, side-effects. How is a cure to be, if we put on bliders. The self-appointed, proclaimed village idiot gets adequate misinformation to bring to the village from is boob tube, into a status of being okay w/ the world, w/ the fact all will be well, if we do not acknowledge Clockwork Orange policies, Lord of the Flies, substituting a situation comedy revealing to the idiot as a product of transcendental mediition on commercial breaks every twelve minutes. The target focus is on mindfulness, free from mindlessness.
So the idea is changing a status quo mindset, a paradigm shift(s) and intrepret for yourself what ideas hide behind the surface strata. As David Byrne said "Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground. Fill the well, produce, generate, discover/uncover solutions. Express the truth in yourself, Write. Create. Be.
