FREEDOM
774. Not only the active exertion of power of the heteron, but also its sheer presence limits and contaminates freedom. If there is something that is not myself, then I cannot be absolutely free. The dominion over others is not yet a perfect dominion. Complete dominion means complete identity.
775. I-myself am free as much as I-myself am I-myself.
776. Freedom means not only the freedom of choice, but it also means that I can freely carry out my decision.
777. Freedom postulates the absolute knowledge of everything (omniscientia absoluta), the absolute omnipresence (omnipræsentia absoluta) and the absolute almightiness (omnipotentia absoluta). Freedom without them is not freedom. Though freedom arises from the freedom of choice, to reduce freedom to this means the principal non-understanding of freedom.
778. The question is not whether there is predestination or not, but whether predestination is auto-predestination or hetero-predestination.
779. Freedom is not indetermination, i.e. it is not an avoluntary or anti-voluntary state. Freedom is auto-determination: it is the state where I myself completely determine myself. The goal is not to become undetermined, but that I myself should determine myself.
