You must learn the art of working with your intellect through heart centered reasoning and intuition.
The mind is a composit of the brain(intellect), the heart, and our 3rd eye which brings us that intuition. This integration effort Can lead to self empowerment. This is if the energy of your intent for those efforts is human evolution. Then the freedom you speak of becomes established. Until that time you may think you are free when you are in fact just using a more highly elevated slave mind.

Hello there John
Agreed and good points.
Becoming an elevated slave mind is still a critical and necessary first step
. ...As we work toward integration and fuller manifestation of that composite mind, in right alignment with our centre.
This integration and manifestation is a lifelong journey of day-to-day conscious choices noted and taken in word and deed, or not.
Peace & blessings
