Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech is “the right of people to express their opinions publicly without governmental interference (thefreedictionary.com)”; Freedom of Speech is also known as free speech;
Be mindful that there is no such thing as absolute freedom of speech, never was, never is, and never will be; the opposite of free speech is censorship; freedom of speech without censorship is anarchy; freedom without order is anarchy; however, order with no freedom is tyranny; when there is censorship without freedom of speech, there is always tyranny;
Freedom with order is democracy; freedom of speech with censorship is democracy;
If you were on this website or any other Gnostic Website, you would notice that there is no absolute freedom of speech; the same is said for private homes, churches, mosques, and temples alike; the Gnostic Movement also tolerates no absolute freedom of speech; this law is made to protect our fellow brethren from negative contagion caused by grouchy and disrespectful people; it never means that everything that you say will be censored;
What i, Juan Mirieth Auriel, state is that you can speak freely, yet with caution, humbleness, and respect; comprehend the word ahimsa; the word ahimsa means “no violence”; any speech that falls within the boundaries of ahimsa is protected speech; criticizing the merchants of the government under the scope of ahimsa is protected speech;
Anything outside the scope of ahimsa is unprotected speech; any speech that encourages others to incite threats, violence, and conspiracies to commit crimes is never protected speech; they are trespassers of the law and will be punished according to the laws of karma;
Also, freedom of speech has its boundaries within the time, place, and manner; you must respect the time, place, and manner in which you can speak freely; those who fail to consider these three factors are trespassers of the law and will be punished according to the laws of karma;
Sure, tyrants can try to push for absolute censorship, knowing it is virtually impossible to do so because there is no such thing as absolute censorship; if the tyrants should silence the people, the stones would cry out instead;
So, there is no absolute freedom of speech in private homes, churches, mosques, or temples; there is also no absolute free speech on my blogs and my social media; there is no absolute free speech in the Gnostic Movement; we will have freedom and order by the will of the Innermost.
