Each cognitive freedom reflects freedom, the pursuit of truth, and the individual's role in cognition.
Here is an outline of a chapter by chapter "The Philosophy Of Freedom" Initiate's Journey that a person undergoes on this path.
A campaign for cognitive freedom, as articulated through Steiner's principles in the first 7 chapters of "The Philosophy Of Freedom", could serve as a countermeasure to the current trend of censorship, brainwashing, and various forms of thought control. The values these freedoms uphold — such as intellectual autonomy, the pursuit of knowledge, accurate perception, and unrestricted cognition — are essential to a society that respects individual thought and freedom of expression.
Here's how these cognitive freedoms could be articulated in a more activist, rights-oriented context:
1. The Right to Conscious Action: Everyone should have the freedom to understand and choose the reasons behind their actions, free from manipulation or coercion.
2. The Right to Seek Knowledge: Individuals have the right to pursue knowledge according to their own curiosity and intellectual needs, without interference or constraint from external entities.
3. The Right to Independent Thought: Everyone has the right to think freely and guide their thoughts based on the content and logic of the thoughts themselves, free from external biases and influence.
4. The Right to Accurate Perception: Individuals should have the freedom to continually refine their perceptions of the world, to reduce subjective bias and more accurately understand reality.
5. The Right to Truthful Understanding: Everyone has the right to apply their concepts to their perceptions correctly, forming accurate judgments about the world.
6. The Right to Individual Ideation: Individuals should have the freedom to form their unique ideas by correctly applying and integrating concepts, reflecting their personal understanding and perspective.
7. The Right to Limitless Cognition: Everyone should have the freedom to actively connect their personal experiences with the outside world, continuously growing and deepening their understanding without any imposed boundaries or restrictions.

Parents at Waldorf School of Garden City are angry and physically nauseous over new mandatory sex education for fifth graders. Unless people stand up and stop it, this is the future of all Waldorf schools. https://t.co/0vxMM9AD8M #waldorfschool #anthroposophy #RudolfSteiner

Reports are coming in that a Waldorf School is supporting the gender dysphoria movement, accepting the myth of reincarnating in the wrong body. Two genders is scientific fact, yet this school is denying reality on enrollment form.

I am working on a project to relate The Philosophy Of Freedom to self-actualization and give 1000 life examples of everything described in the book. Here is a list of self-actualization terms that relate to TPOF chapters with links to life examples. Self-actualization is a process of attaining one's full potential and finding a sense of personal fulfillment and meaning in life.
ACTUALIZE TRUE KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR TRUE SELF

Chapter 2 Actualize Self-Inquiry in the pursuit of knowledge. See examples.
Chapter 3 Actualize Pure Reason guided solely by the content of thought. See examples.
Chapter 4 Actualize Continuous Correction of world perception.
Chapter 5 Actualize Intuitive Reason in your application of concepts to the world.
Chapter 6 Actualize Independent Ideas by forming individualized reality-based ideas.
Chapter 7 Actualize Cognitive Satisfaction without limits to knowledge.
True Self
Chapter 8 Actualize Self-Knowledge by cognizing feeling and willing.
Chapter 9 Actualize Ethical Individualism that expresses your ethical content in life.
Chapter 10 Actualize Moral Autonomy by obeying your ethical impulses.
Chapter 11 Actualize Purposeful Living in accord with the laws of nature.
Chapter 12 Actualize Moral Imagination to translate ethical principles into free deeds.
Chapter 13 Actualize a Transcendent Ego to achieve your highest idealistic goals.

1.12 Sensationalist action: Seeing The Good
“Many pass by these good qualities without noticing them. One, however, sees them, and just because he does, love awakens in his heart.”
2.12 Sensationalist pursuit of knowledge: Facts Without Interpretation
“So far my purpose has been solely to record the facts of how we experience everyday life. I am not concerned with how science has interpreted consciousness, but with how we experience it from moment to moment."
3.12 Sensationalist thinking: Rightly Applied Thought
“Thought is a fact and it is meaningless to speak of a fact as being right or wrong. At most I can have doubts about whether thought is rightly applied.”
4.12 Sensationalist perception: Real Senses
“For only my real eye and my real hand could have the ideas of sun and earth as their modifications—my ideas “eye” and “hand” could not.”
5.12 Sensationalist knowing: Objective Percept
“A percept always appears as a very specific, concrete content. This content is directly given and is completely contained in what is given. "...the objective percept occurs when the object is present in the field of one’s vision.”
6.12 Sensationalist individual representation of reality: Living Concept
“Feeling is the means by which concepts first gain concrete life.”
7.12 Sensationalist cognition: Objective Real World Continuum
“His deliberations concerning the process of cognition has convinced him of the existence of an objectively real world continuum. He believes he is able to determine the nature of this objective reality by drawing conclusions inductively from his percepts.”
8.12 Sensationalist personality: World Will
“it asserts the existence of will in realms where it is not possible to experience it directly in the same way as it is in one’s own subject. A hypothetical principle is assumed outside the subject, for which the sole criteria for its existence is subjective experience.”
9.12 Sensationalist idea to act: Social Order
“the individual would become stunted with prolonged isolation outside human society. This is why the social order is formed, so that it can react back favorably on the individual.”
10.12 Sensationalist moral authority: Freedom Is Morality
“Human morality, like human knowledge, is conditioned by human nature. ...morality is a specifically human quality, and freedom is the human way of being moral.”
11.12 Sensationalist purpose: World Being
“A Dualist can talk of world purposes and nature purposes. Where we see an example of a systematic linking of cause and effect according to law, a Dualist is free to assume that what we are seeing is only a faint copy of a relationship within which the absolute world being has realized his purpose.”
12.12 Sensationalist moral idea: Enslaved Spirit
“External powers may prevent me from doing what I want. Then they simply damn me to do nothing. Not until they enslave my spirit, drive my motives out of my head, and put their own motives in the place of mine, do they really intend to make me unfree.”
13.12 Sensationalist value of life: Joy Of Achievement
“he finds the true enjoyment of life in achieving what he wants. He determines the value of life by comparing what he has achieved with the goals striven for.”
14.12 Sensationalist individuality: Moral Contribution
“Monism looks upon the history of the moral life, not as the education of the human race by a transcendent God, but as the gradual living out in practice of all concepts and ideas that spring from the moral imagination.”
