Impulse Of Freedom Goal
"I wrote The Philosophy of Freedom in order to give mankind a clear picture of the idea of freedom, of the impulse of freedom which must be the fundamental impulse of the fifth post-Atlantean epoch. To this end it was necessary first of all to establish the impulse of freedom on a firm scientific basis."

Impulse Of Freedom Experience
The psycho-physical organization has no affect on the essential nature of thinking (intuition). The essential activity at work in thinking has a twofold function: 1) it represses the activity of the human organization; 2) it steps into its place. Yes, even the repression of the bodily organization is an effect of thinking activity; the part of thinking activity that prepares for the appearance of thinking. TPOF 9.1 -revised edition

Gamma waves are linked to activities such as learning, problem-solving, and information processing.
Alpha waves usually occur when you are engaged in activities such as daydreaming, meditating, or practicing mindfulness, occur when people feel relaxed and when the brain is in an idle state without concentrating on anything. A state that is relaxed and restful, experienced when people are doing stress-relieving activities such as meditating. Positive effects of boosting alpha waves include lowering stress, reducing anxiety, decreasing depression, and improving creative thinking.
