Free Yourself.. From You
★★★★★ 5/5
The book "Free Yourself.. From You" by Imad Sami Salman presents a liberating vision for humanity, focusing on the concept of the "Infinite Cosmic Human." It aims to free individuals from the constraints imposed by social and cultural systems that shape them from birth until death.
The book explains that every person is born a "Cosmic Human" with unlimited potential, but the educational systems and social upbringing transform them into a "Social Individual" with limited possibilities. This upbringing confines them to societal molds and perceptions that restrict their ability to create, innovate, and kill their innocence, simplicity, and spontaneity.
The author presents humans as cosmic beings with immense capabilities for creativity and evolution, but these potentials are stifled by the "Social Conditioning" imposed on them from a young age. He explains how individuals enter an invisible prison from birth, shaped by customs, social values, and expectations they are taught. These societal frameworks form a large part of a person's identity but simultaneously limit their freedom and uniqueness.
Social Conditioning creates "Predetermined Roles" that individuals live by, leading them to adopt a false persona disconnected from their true nature. This prevents them from discovering their authentic selves and blurs the line between what they truly desire and what society imposes on them. The book encourages "Individuality and courage in confronting social conformity." The author argues that many live their lives based on societal norms, which leads to repeating lifeless patterns. He calls for conscious rebellion against blind conformity to reach one's "True Self." This confrontation requires the bravery to challenge deeply ingrained social standards that may have been implanted since childhood.
The book advocates for the "search for the true self," the cosmic inner self that is free from societal, media, and external expectations. To be ourselves means living life according to our internal desires and personal goals, not as others dictate. This requires self-awareness and the ability to distinguish between what is genuine and personal versus what is externally imposed. The author emphasizes the idea of "steering the course of our lives ourselves" rather than being like "Marionettes" controlled by the hands of others. True life begins when we free ourselves from the invisible strings that direct us and take control through our own awareness and decisions. He stresses that freedom is not just the absence of restrictions but a state of "conscious choice" for our lives, where we take responsibility for our actions and their outcomes without blaming society or others. In addition to freeing oneself from societal molds, the author focuses on liberating the self from psychological and mental constraints, inherited beliefs, and false perceptions about the self and the world, which are some of the most dangerous prisons. Hence, the author calls for a process of self-review and deconstruction of these ideas.
"Free Yourself.. From You" is a conscious call to rebel against the social and cultural constraints that limit human uniqueness and freedom. It encourages critical thinking and inner liberation, enabling individuals to be themselves and live a life filled with free choices, rather than one controlled by others or inherited beliefs. This book teaches us how to think freely and open ourselves to the limitless possibilities available to us, free from fear, guilt, or blind conformity to society.
