Free Will

General discussion

I’m watching a Video from a cool Professor right now. It’s about Jesus life and what he actually did.

Of course I don’t know all the truths, but the Video itself and how the professor approaches it really just opened my mind so hard!We all know of Free Will. It is said “Man, though hast free will.” And it’s true, we all have it and we all use it consciously and otherwise.

Just take circumstances out of the Equation and you always have free will. And I, as a sovereign being, can only ever think that I have Free Will and that I also WANT IT. But here comes the interesting part:

“Not everyone actually wants to be free”. That is hard for me to digest, but I know in my heart that it’s true.

MANY PEOPLE WANT SOMEONE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO. Because if no one tells them what to do, they have to think for themselves. What a Tragedy.

I finally get it. Not everyone wants this.

Jesus gave the People a way out. “You are free, you can do whatever you want”.

What utter horror for the subconscious mind :smiley: And why would that change from back then till today?? It didn’t. The Only Thing that changes is that more Souls have lived so many Lifetimes, and finally want to live for themselves. But the majority is still stuck, waiting for someone to save them.

Souls are unqiue and different, I know that. And the great thing is, they never ever die. So a Soul could be trapped, repeating the same lesson over and over and over again, until it finally learns. And this is exactly what is happening here on earth too!

We have too many sheep, waiting for the Shepherd.

I say it’s pointless to keep trying to wake up the sheep. Enough Wolfs have awoken.

They don’t want to be woken up anyway. When someone wants to be lead, let them be lead, but first you gotta destroy the corrupt leaders and replace them.

Earth will have a hard time for sure, I can see that now. Imagine the Chaos for the sheep. Just look what happened during Corona. It all makes sense now. many People really, under no circumstance want to be awake, because 1. They are NPC or 2. Their Soul is not developed enough and they have to stay on earth much longer.

What I’m guessing also is that some Souls have been here way toooo long and cannot escape, thus the Starseeds came in with a Plan :smiley: Because the current Leaders are making sure, that those sleeping Souls stay asleep for eternity, to suck out their loosh.

WHAT A MESS

But yea, Free Will is amazing and I love that I can choose my own path. I am taking responsibility for myself and my Actions. I’ll be counting sheeps now, good Night :smiley:

Free will seems like a pretty interesting topic to me. A while back I read that free will is the quality that makes us human and sets us apart from the rest of creation. An animal, for example, tends to respond to its instincts—it eats when it’s hungry, sleeps when it’s tired, bites if it’s angry. But we can choose not to eat even when we’re hungry, or stay up even when we need sleep, or not attack others when we’re angry. There’s a book called “The Philosophy of Freedom” by Rudolf Steiner, and I find his concept of freedom very interesting: “that as long as we don’t understand the real causes that lead us to choose to act a certain way, we haven’t truly attained freedom”. And I find this quite plausible because, if you think about it, sometimes a person can make decisions that seem conscious but aren’t. For example, a person might “choose” to enter a relationship, thinking they’ve found the love of their life, but in reality they’re trying to compensate for a feeling of unlove from the way they were raised. Another example: say a person likes chocolate cake and therefore always chooses that flavor. But why do they like it? Do they like it because it reminds them of good moments from their childhood? Do they like it because their grandmother bought them chocolate cake every weekend? Do they like it because as a child they were never allowed to eat chocolate cake, and now, as an act of rebellion, they always choose that flavor? Do they like it because once they were sad and a slice of cake gave them the dose of endorphins they needed? Or do they just like the taste, plain and simple?

Another point I find interesting about free will is the role of “evil” in the act of choosing. To choose, you always need more than one option, right? So if the possibility of evil didn’t exist, there would be no real, free choice of good—we’d be a kind of automaton of goodness. Evil, in some way, gives us the necessary contrast to figure out where our moral compass is pointing. In that sense, can evil serve a greater good, even if it doesn’t seem like it?

In that sense, I believe the mystery of Christ is itself a great lesson about free will: that a cosmic being of higher hierarchies decided to incarnate in a human body and perish in order to give us back the possibility of choice and evolution—even though he could have chosen not to, or could have chosen to abort the mission when things were getting dense and dangerous—speaks precisely to a very great faith in humanity’s purpose and in the freedom to choose good and light even when everything seems dark, lost, and meaningless.

I believe humanity is not lost, even if, looking around, one sees only “sleeping” people; within each one there exists the potential for change. Many of us here, for example, are not the same people we were a year ago (and I hope the change has been for the better). The circumstances under which changes occur, however, depend on each person’s biography—each person is a small universe, the result of the long path traveled across their lives, and no life lived is wasted; you always learn something (even if you don’t remember it). Sometimes a person is compelled to change because of an external event, which is often “catastrophic” in nature, like an illness, an accident, or the death of a loved one. During the pandemic, for example, there was a lot of chaos, but many people also drew closer to the spiritual world or began to question reality (or “woke up,” as it’s often said). Other times, the change is chosen, and then the experience of living through a catastrophic event is no longer, let’s say, “necessary.”

It’s very likely that all of us, at some point in our spiritual evolution (in this life or another), have taken on behavior that could be classified as “sheep-like,” because it will always be easier to blame others for our bad decisions or for the direction our life takes. And choosing always carries the risk of being wrong, and in most societies error is punished and judged, and also the consequences of a mistake can sometimes be catastrophic. But doesn’t error carry a great lesson within it? Once you make a mistake and realize why and how you failed, it’s very likely you won’t make that particular mistake again—you’ll make others, of course, that’s the most normal thing in human life, but not that one again.

Honestly, I believe some spiritual positions are somewhat nihilistic (and of dubious origin—“false light” is as much a possibility as evil is), in viewing the earth as a prison one must escape from. I believe the earth is a school; every experience, positive or not, has the potential to teach you a lesson that serves your evolution.
