Depends what side you are pursuing freedom on. Remember one of the whole fundamentals of the Law of One philosophy is that there two paths and that both are valid to engage in.
I actually don't think the concept of freedom changes but rather the understanding of freedom advances. It is conceptualize to a finer degree. Sure, we can talk about being "more than human", but anyone who has done a simple study of mythology can see that "more than human" doesn't necessarily at all mean being beyond emotion, bias and identity. Take a look around at the stories of deities and demi-gods and you will quickly see that very few of them are "flawless". Even Jesus harmed a boy and was a martyr, the Buddha was a severe ascetic before he found enlightenment, Krishna was a bit of a thief and killed demons, etc.
Tell me, what does it mean to be 'more than human'? (This is actually one of the fundamental questions of the Order of the Golden Dawn.)
