Is it possible to live in this world non-violently, in freedom virtuously?

Freedom is absolutely necessary, but not freedom for the individual to do what he likes to do, because the individual is conditioned whether he is living in a country or anywhere else, he is conditioned by his society, by his culture, by the whole structure of his thought. Is it at all possible to be free from this conditioning, not ideologically, not as an idea, but actually psychologically inwardly free. Otherwise i do not see democracy or any righteous behaviour. Freedom is not an idea, a phylosophy written about freedom is not freedom. Either one is free or one is not. Freedom is not a state of mind that's caught in the thought. Thought can never be free, thought is the response of the memory, knoeledge and experience.It's always the product of the pastand it can't possibly bring about freedom because freedom is something that is in the living active present, in daily life. Freedom is not freedom from something, freedom from something is merely a reaction.
