When Consciousness created the Universe and everything in it, IT fabricated other Consciousness, the spirits, all made in IT's Image and Resemblance.
We are these beings endowed with consciousness... and freedom. We are effectively free to decide where we will go, what we will do and of the way we will react to the situations in our lives. We can use this freedom to gain selfishly. We can also use this freedom to answer the Cosmic and Creative Consciousness' desires.
That is for freedom. But what about Free Will? Are the two not the same?
No. No they are not. The two terms differ. Free will resides in the quality of our reactions. How will we react in the different circumstances that happen to come our way? Will we be positive or not? Will we take the events outside of our control laughing or will we cry out? Will we accuse others of our misgivings or will we assume responsibility?
Free will is there, in the answers we will give to ourselves.
The night before writing this chapter, I dreamt:
"I was in a large hall filled with people, children and their parents. A man was giving a speech. From the first sentence he said, I started to cry. I did not hear what he was saying, except for a few words, sometimes, in between my sobs. My friend Claude came to help me pick up some garbage on the floor. I was still crying without being able to stop. He said: "It is sad isn't it"? I looked at him through my tears and told him: "This is the most beautiful proof of love that has ever been expressed".
Not understanding, he left to tell the speaker what I had just told him. The speaker called on the assistance to say that someone did not agree with him and invited me to give my opinion. He came towards me and so did Claude. I was still crying. Claude got nearer, touched his head to mine and I told him that I did not even remember the first words of that speech. The speaker repeated a few, I looked at him and started to walk the centre aisle, towards the stage, coming up the steps, turning to face the people. I started to talk and that brought up an uproar. I was asked questions in an indescribable rumpus until I used my stentorian voice; then the crowd calmed down somewhat and I could answer one by one, the questions asked.
A woman called me a liar and got up to leave while I was saying that love was the most important thing in the World and that God had given us free will to be used in promoting it (love) and that, from one life to another. The woman left. I saluted her in the military way, clicking my heels as I smiled, almost laughed, because suddenly, I was experiencing an intense joy. Someone on my right, a tall man dressed in white, was smiling at me and telling me to keep on talking, while putting his hand on my shoulder as a sign of protection. Later in the wings that looked more like a lobby with doors and halls on each side, I was seeing people bringing in their children so that I talk to them and heal them. People were preparing for me to teach there a long time".
Strange. The preceding chapter was about Hazard. I wrote it during the day, when the question came. In the evening at the same day, I met a person who mentioned what Anatole France had said: Coincidence is the name God gives Himself when He does not want to sign his name. That fact was a confirmation that Providence puts us into contact with people we may need and/or may help.
The question of free will came up yesterday. I did not work at it at once as I usually do with other questions. During the evening, someone mentioned that the consciousness of people had the power to make choices, to decide. During the following night the recounted dream came to me.
We have the possibility to make conscious choices. Free will is part of those choices. We can use it, as we will. We are free to travel, to experiment. Let us go back to Consciousness. S/He who created us has one quality that all of us try to experiment, one way or another: Love. Consciousness let us free, for Love's sake. Consciousness loves us so much that S/He allows us to do anything we want.
Let us not mix up this profound gift with indifference, for s/he who is indifferent let us do anything we want without the slightest feeling or emotion. If we fall, no feeling: If we do evil to someone or ourselves, no reaction. Conscience gave us Laws that are all based on Respect and Love. We are free to obey or to disobey these Laws. It we break them however, Consciousness warns us that we will have to suffer the consequences. Action/Reaction or Karma.
Laws regulate the Universe. Planets do not collide with one another. There is order. Chaos is disorder, dispute, and disagreement. In all of this we act freely to our misfortune. But that is not what we are looking for. Happiness is what we want, what our soul tries, at any price, to show us, to make us want and live.
I want to talk about both aspects of free will. Consciousness created us free. Souls know the price of such freedom: Souls let themselves vanquished by matter, let themselves be manipulated, imprisoned; today, souls pay for their thirst by asking us, as much as we want to listen, to turn ourselves towards true freedom which consists in obeying the Laws.
I wish to address these two aspects of free will. Consciousness had created us free. The human souls know the price of this freedom: Millions have fallen into materiality and are now completely taken by the principles of materialistic thought and behaviour. Today, the human soul, while paying its thirst for freedom, wants to turn itself towards true freedom, which consists in subscribing to Primordial Consciousness' values and wishes.
The human soul chooses, before it is born, the road it will travel. In this, all of us are helped and guided by what I call Higher Instances (Higher Authorities) who obey the Laws of Consciousness. All souls, working with guides, choose the circumstances they will have to live in. They use their free will in accordance with Consciousness and its representatives. That is the first aspect of free will.
The second aspect manifests here on Earth, inside our flesh body. At birth, we forget our soul and guides' plans. Along our apprenticeship years, whether we live a long time or not, we are taught that we have free will. We can choose our life. Then start a difficult teaching. We must choose, from the whole range of human experiences, those that will take us where we want to go. But who wants what in us? Who are we? Are we humans? Souls? Who will dictate our journey?
At the beginning, ignoring who he was, man chose to satisfy his instincts, to answer to his needs, to discover what his environment was made of. Then he progressed to higher knowledge, greater freedom of thought, of action. All along his life, man asked it he had choice, in front of circumstances placed on his way, to live what he wanted. He, who would have that everything runs smoothly, always saw his life disturbed by events he had not foreseen. So, he really didn't have a choice! He had, but had also to realize that he was no longer only man, that he was, in truth, a soul, that soul has desires, projects and a will of her own (a will we must make ours).
Man has got to know: He is a soul.
He must discover what Consciousness has in store for him and act according to that Will. Only then will he be truly free.
What is free will? It is the obeying of the Cosmic or Consciousness' Laws; and these Laws are made of Love. Free will is the prefect expression of Love. And, when we reach this dimension, we will be able to say, as Jesus said: I AM THAT I AM.
