…Certain traditions do not allow the freedom not to… thus, the understanding expressed by the freedom to… simply does not occur.
Such restrictive frameworks are based on the principle (this is my interpretation, and not the relay of any official claim emanating from this tradition) that the formal framework must be in place to allow the expression of the innermost being.
If the innermost nature seeks to manifest itself through the practitioner, to him and to the world, it will thus find a framework conducive to its expression.
This could then be the result of a logic of call for air, perhaps structurally more compatible with a certain type of disciple than with another.
For my part, I find myself oppressed by it and could never create, through the imposed ritual form, any call for air while breathing with such difficulty.
Notes & Silence 
Obligation creates stifling dogma.
As if you no longer breathe, this is the kiss of a withered spirit.

There is also an inner understanding of such forms, a a mild change in the angle of vision, through which all perception is changed and they no longer appear as stifling.
The rebel within is the guide, the safeguard,
maybe comes a moment when he becomes the withering agent… (?)
