Wow, big question. Not easy to answer in a nutshell. Off the top of my head, I think Francis of Assisi was able to achieve a certain type of freedom in his mind and spirit - in his heart and life - that few really grasp in this life. He seemed to know that this world is passing away. He seem to realize that life was fleeting and eternity was only apprehended through grabbing onto life by following Jesus Christ. Francis truly found, or "achieved", freedom and release. Freedom to serve others that the world would otherwise throw away. In his day, it was the lepers. In them, he achieved and 'crucifixion' of himself, and a resurrected fellowship with Christ.
