The Free Human Being
We have mentioned that, in the preamble to this constitution, we presented three matters: two means and an ultimate goal.
As for the more important means, which is the Sudanese community, this constitution is specifically concerned with it.
The other significant means, the global community, has already been briefly addressed.
Now, as for the ultimate goal, which is the birth of the free individual - one who enjoys absolute individual freedom - we will dedicate our discussion to highlighting it, along with the constitution we seek to achieve.
Is It Possible?
The first step we must take is to rectify the misconception held by some who believe that absolute individual freedom is unattainable. While these individuals may acknowledge, based on their inner feelings, that absolute individual freedom is indeed a fundamental need for every human being, they doubt its realization. If it is true - and it undoubtedly is - that absolute individual freedom is the ultimate need and goal of every individual, then it is equally the need and goal of humanity as a whole. To assert its impossibility is to preemptively condemn humanity to defeat and disgrace - a position we utterly reject.
We hold no regard for the assertions of those who contend that perfection is reserved for the hereafter and that absolute individual freedom, consequently, cannot be attained in this life but only in the life to come. Such a view neglects the profound reality that all which is realized in the Hereafter finds its model and genesis here.
How?
The absolutely free individual is one who resolves the conflict between their subconscious and conscious minds, achieving unity such that their outward actions align with their inner intentions. Their thoughts align with their words, and their actions align with their words. Through this harmony, they achieve a life of thought and feeling.
This goal is realized through two means. The first is a righteous society, in which the government provides individuals with freedom, knowledge, leisure, and fulfillment of their physical and material needs. In such a society, public opinion is characterized by tolerance, allowing for diverse personalities and encouraging liberated thought. This society is the one we have envisioned in our constitution.
The second means is the individual’s diligent effort to liberate their own mind through personal initiative. This begins where society’s efforts to liberate the individual conclude. The individual’s personal effort becomes an extension and culmination of the contributions they have made - and continue to make - to the collective community.
The conflict between the subconscious mind and the conscious mind stems from fear, and the root cause of fear is ignorance.
The human being, with all the frailty of their mechanical bodily structure and with all the desires, ambitions, and doubts harbored in their soul, found themselves confronted by a natural world in which mercy and cruelty, danger and safety, death and life, all seemed interwoven in a manner that, outwardly, appeared to contradict the foundations of human thought.
The reckless harshness with which the blind forces of nature confronted humanity distorted the image they held in their mind about the origin of life, its purpose, and the true nature of the material world that surrounds and influences it.
If we are to grant the individual absolute personal freedom, our education must aim to correct the distorted and erroneous image that has formed in his mind, so that it is replaced by a true and complete image of the origin of life, its law, its purpose, and the material world that surrounds and influences it. This correct image must be deeply embedded in his consciousness, influencing his morals, habits, and thinking, leading him to freedom from fear. In doing so, he will regain the unity of thought, speech, and action in both his existence and his awareness, thus resolving the conflict and repression that cause crime between individuals and wars between nations.
