Hmmmm, I look at it a bit differently, The Cloud. I think boldly examining our thoughts for truth allows us to see how they run us, and the seeing, itself -- the shining of light -- is what releases us from the bondage of our habitual thoughts. We're not even aware those thoughts are enslaving us, until we examine them.
The very real experience of freeing myself from habitual thought is something I experience as freedom -- when I am vigilant enough to do it! I think what Freelancer is doing here is reminding himself to remain vigilant. And us, too.
