  "Total freedom" refers to that phenomenon where a person is 
completely in charge of their MEST (Matter, Energy, Space, and
Time) universe.  They are unhindered by the baggage of engrams
and their theta is in complete control of their being.
  A person with "total freedom" would tend to be very successful
in every endeavor, would never be "down", and would have a very
good outlook towards life in general.
  Totally unfree people would be completely withdrawn from 
everything, including themselves.
  There is obviously a very wide range of behavior in between...
