WISDOM CREATES FREEDOM in the Embassy of the Free Mind

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? These are universal questions that we humans have been asking ourselves since the beginning of time. There is not just one single right answer to these questions. The answer is to be found in wisdom. Wisdom can be looked for on the outside and it can also be found within. The Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam, a platform for free thought, has a museum library with more than 25,000 books and manuscripts by authors who explored the above questions. What they wrote down is the testimony of their journey of discovery. Why is it that Amsterdam is associated worldwide with freedom to this day? Freedom is in the DNA of our city, and it is freedom which everyone really longs for. Human beings are the only creatures who seek truth and freedom, the ’why if everything. Freedom, however, cannot exist without wisdom. Wisdom transcends constraints such as truth on authority, superstition, prejudice and fundamentalism. Wisdom connects everything and everybody and creates freedom. Amsterdam has been known since the 17th century for its freedom of religion, individual freedom and freedom of the press. Books were what the Internet is now. Books spread knowledge and connected people. At the Embassy of the Free Mind, we strongly believe that wisdom creates freedom. We have thousands of years of wisdom to share based on our extensive collection, but we are also interested in the wisdom you would like to communicate. Please share via our social media or via email and tell us how you find Wisdom in your daily life, which sources prove inspiring to you or which book you are currently reading, or tell us what you would love to learn more about through our online programme, so that we can inspire each other. And help us to spread wisdom! If everyone who watches this also shares this video with one person, image what a chain reaction of wisdom creating freedom this could start in the world!  When you share this video, don’t forget to use the hashtag #WisdomCreatesFreedom and please also post a photo of the sources or collecting areas in our library that bring you inspiration!  We invite you to be a free thinker and use your inner wisdom. Visit us in person when possible again or online today. WISDOM CREATES FREEDOM
