MmmHmm. It seems to me that freedom "from" anything prevents real freedom...or perhaps I should say that it prevents the awareness of the naturally free state.
In desiring freedom "from" anything we are still seeing freedom as something conditional.
It is not...unless we choose to experience it as such.
It is not dependent upon any of the things we would seek to be free of...unless we choose to experience it as such.

Each of us has a unique personal idea of "freedom" which is directly related to our awareness, and how we relate to that awareness.
This personal idea of "freedom" is only that, though...an idea.
An idea is not a real thing.
Real freedom is not an idea/concept.
It is not something "desirable", which can be "attained".
It is a state of being.
Freedom is the natural, inherent state of being.
The "idea" of freedom prevents the experience of freedom.
Drop the idea of freedom, and see that you are free.
Drop trying to be, and see that you are.
