Freedom To Experience Love Through Free Will

Freedom To Experience Love
Through Free Will

Experience the Path to Love by Genevieve Gerard

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

There is in a Spiritual Life the question of Free Will.

Free will is a tricky issue that has created questions since the creation of human life.

Free will is a fact of life.  It is a fact that you and I must deal with in a myriad of ways, throughout all of our days.

Free Will To Choose Love

When the Creator first breathed the spark of Divine Light into his creation, free will came into the mix.

With the creative power that was granted to humanity came the possibility of mistakes; the possibility of defying God’s will and working either for or against the plan for His creation.

Free will affects the choices you make about what you use the creative power of your mind to manifest in your life.  It affects how you respond to emotions you experience in the happening of your life.  And, spiritually it ultimately brings you to the choice of whether you are guided by Divine Will or selfish desires.

The questions and choices that free will bring into your life are somewhat relentless.  This is especially true when you realize the ongoing challenge of harnessing the creative power of your mind to create what manifests in your life.

Free will is a factor, especially when you must decide how to respond to the actions of others, who are also imbued with free will and may not act in ways you approve or desire.

You might find yourself wondering about the purpose of free will.  After all, it takes only a quick look at life to see that people are often greedy.

At times, it’s hard to understand the purpose of free will.  The purpose of free will is a question that speaks to the ultimate purpose of life.

Sometimes people make the wrong choices or act in ways that are clearly in conflict with the Law of Love, or even kindness or compassion.

Choose the Right Path by Genevieve Gerard

 

This freedom you have as a human being, the freedom to choose between right and wrong; good and evil; love and selfishness is an ongoing challenge.

 

I have in my life experiences and through my meditations begun to believe that the ultimate purpose of life is to learn how to love.

Recently, I have realized that the only thing you can create in your life that is eternal is love.  The only thing that ultimately lasts are the bonds of love that you create throughout your life adventure.
      – Genevieve Gerard

With each and every experience in your life, you are choosing to either serve love or serve physical matter.  In the ancient biblical language, you choose to serve God (whose essence and nature are Love) or manna (the material and temporal world.)

In ancient writings of the Ageless Wisdom, it is taught that matter, which has no love and cannot love, must ultimately be redeemed by love.  A human being is the perfect blend of Spirit and matter.  That task of redemption falls to humanity by learning to love and then demonstrating love by loving.

To learn to Love as you move through your life is meaningless without free will.  To be compelled to Love would have no purpose, no power and most importantly, no joy.

Love is only valid if there is the freedom not to love.  In fact, all of the choices that free will grants subscribe meaning and purpose to life.

It is the very opposites, the possibility to choose that makes all your choices have power.

Freedom To Choose Love

What you decide to do; what you choose to think and feel, are all a part of a Cosmic quest that is played out on humanities stage here on planet earth.

Freedom is an essential element in that drama.  Freedom and free will are woven into the tapestry of life, your life and the life of every player on the stage with you.

It is this freedom to choose that gives purpose and meaning to the mundane events in life.  It is the freedom to choose that determines how your story is written in the Akashic record of karma and consequence.  The choice you make today in what you think, what you feel, and what you do are all a part of your creative process as a Child of God who was born in freedom with free will.

That freedom is important for it determines what you create in your life.

This brings us to a crucial question about the times in your life that when you are faced with a choice whether you choose to surrender and align with Divine Will, or whether you will choose only in consideration of your personal ego’s needs.

Invoking Free Will To Choose Love

The other day I was discussing this very issue with a spiritual friend.  We were considering the matter of enlisting the help of Angels in life.

Free will enables a human life to choose to align with Divine Will, or not.  I believe Angels may only intervene in human life in alignment with Divine Will.  So, when you pray to Angels for help, you are automatically surrendering your “little will” to the forces of Love and Light.

For the ego, for your will, this may make it easier to align your will to Divine Will.  You can freely invoke the aid and assistance of the Angels in your life as a tool for guiding your consciousness into an alignment of the wisdom of your Soul, and the insight and awareness of what is good and right.

Directing your attention to how to choose love, and teaching you about love is integral to your Soul’s relationship in your life.  It is also part and parcel of the way the Angels work with humanity to help manifest God’s overall Plan for the evolution of humankind.

The issue of surrender, either to the Soul, to the Angels or Divine Will is usually not easy for the personal ego.  Within the act of surrender is the key to empowerment that can vault your life into success and satisfaction that is beyond happiness. Ponder on this!

Demonstrating Goodwill as A Way to Learn to Love

One of the greatest mysteries in life is the awareness that it is by giving we receive.  It is as if God set up a teaching behavioral reward system that can be summarized as “when I do good, I feel good.”  We can add to that “when I serve others, I serve myself.”

Goodwill is equated with doing good in the world.  For some, it may be easier to think of “goodwill to others” as easier than “love one another.”

So, like enlisting and petitioning the Angels for help may be an easier way for the ego and personal will to align with Divine Will, so may practicing goodwill be an easier way of learning to love.  It is certainly simpler to do good than to demonstrate love.

When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.
      – Abraham Lincoln

No matter how lost in the illusions of separateness and selfishness you may be, your heart and your Soul long to love and be loved.  Your Soul knows the truth about life and your heart wants to express love.  Free will can disrupt that expression, but the will to love is an active force.

Free will is still subject to the underlying principle in life that “in all things, God works for good.”  The very fact that “God is Love” (Jesus Christ 1 John 4:8) reveals the promise that “Love Wins.”

You can take comfort in that hope, for it is not possible to create anything that is not created out of the essence of the Creator.  All the way down to the most material and base nature of your being, you are created with love because you were created by Love.

Love is ultimately built into your heart, your mind, and your Soul.  No matter what mistakes you make with your choices in life, learning to love is the ultimate outcome.  That is the safety mechanism within which free will resides.

Of course, you have more happiness and joy when you choose to love.  To not choose love is its own punishment for it deprives you of the joys and blessing life is constantly offering you.

Knowing this, I suggest with kindness and compassion that for your life, you choose Love.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

The Will to Good

The Will to Good

Read The Will To Good, blog post by Genevieve Gerard

Are you someone who longs to make the world a better place?

Someone who feels a deep yearning in the depth of your being to help heal the suffering and problems of life?

If so, you are most likely a part of an energetic group that is known by the name “The New Group of World Servers.”

You may be consciously or unconsciously in this group of light workers.

There is no requirement, to be a part of this group, other than to have the Will to Good. It requires no recognition or affiliation. It is not aligned with any specific religion, yet is congruent with the deepest principles of all of the world’s religions. The only identifying factor is that you join across the planet with other Men and Woman of Goodwill.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure
in doing good to another.
      – Thomas Jefferson

Then let your Soul guide you in your service to others. Since the New Group of World Servers is at its core a Soul group, it focuses, through the guidance of your Soul, on serving the greater good of all humanity.

One of the ways we do this is to come together in unity at 5 p.m. across the globe, each in our own place and time zone, to send out a blessing to support this group and their work (see below.) You can make a difference in the world by joining with this effort. You are not alone!

Your blessing is magnified by other like-minded individuals who join their thoughts and intentions to make the world a better place.

The words are simple. With clear intention, you can help bring great blessings to mankind.

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

May the power of the One Life,
pour through the group of all true servers.

May the Love of the One Soul,
characterize the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One work,
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.

     – A Treatise on White Magic, p. 261 by Alice A. Bailey

 

It only takes a moment and connects you with a network of Light, Love, and Power that is committed to making this world a better place for all sentient beings.

But, How Do I Know If I Am A Light Worker?

Recently, I have observed among spiritual people a question, “How do I know if I am a Light Worker?” By their fruits, you shall know them, is the age old answer to that. Decision and intention are also important.

Making the decision to join in this worldwide effort, as this blessing makes its way across the planet at 5 p.m. each day, is a powerful and empowering decision to be an active participant in something greater than yourself. Something where you are in service to humanity. Something a true light worker would do.

To be doing good deeds is man’s most glorious task.
      – Sophocles

I ask you to take a few brief minutes at 5 p.m. each day to bless and thereby energetically support the work and the service of those who work for good in the world and weave in the light.

Your intention will connect you with and align you with the power of the Light.

By its very nature Light dispels the dark. This statement is a profound truth and worth pondering.

You can choose to be a part of the solution that this world needs by this simple act.

I invite you into this group with this work and this service. Simply join in this planetary effort and support one another.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
