     The path towards spiritual ascension and exiting `Nature` requires mastering every `Desire` in this hierarchy and learning `What To Do` and `What Not To Do` for each one.  Through proper thinking, the `Desires` can be mastered without necessarily experiencing them as `Destiny`.

-    If every `Thought` holds knowledge of itself (including `What To Do` and `What Not To Do` for itself) and `Nature` holds every `Thought`, then all knowledge in `Nature` can be accessed via `Thoughts`.  `Nature` can be thought of as a database of knowledge and the abstract tree above its index.  `The Desire Hierarchy` thus might also be `The Tree of Knowledge`.

+!!! info `Freedom` from `Nature`
-    The point of freedom that every `Desire` has is its ability to attach to or unattach from a thing.
+    Thinking without attachment is the true source of freedom.  By avoiding attachment, `Desires` avoid `Nature's` machinations and unwanted `Destiny`.  `Triune Selves` are thus able to own more of their life and time -- they are free.  `Freedom` is the ability to be, will, do, and have, without attachment to `Nature`.[^2].
-    Every `Desire` may extend its point of freedom to an area: by willing to be, to do, or to have *without* attaching itself to what it wills to be, to do, or to have[^1].

+!!! tip `Freedom` from Others
+    `Freedom` does not mean being able to do whatever one wants (in ignorance).  It depends upon building a useful `Knowledge Set` to be able to conduct oneself in the world peacefully, respectfully, and honourably.  Attachments to `Nature` can run afoul of that `Knowledge Set` and thus incur the wrath of other `Triune Selves` for the trespass.  Self-control is extremely important for cultivating the ***learned skill*** of `Freedom`.

-    `Desires` may choose to attach to `Nature`.  There is no `Freedom` in doing so and it may be necessary to regulate certain pathways.

Suppression, shame, banning, and outlawing are unhealthy and damaging and are not the way.
