5.) Law – Free Will

5. LAW

FREE WILL

THE FREE WILL OF EVERY BEING RULES OVER ITS DESTINY, ITS PROGRESS, SIMPLY OVER EVERYTHING. WE OWN THE POWER OF CHOICE.

You always have a choice. There is the right and joyful way for you at every hour and every second, but you also have the choice to choose another way at any time. No one can force the good on you, everybody must decide for themselves. Each living being is its own creator.

No matter how long you have traveled in the wrong direction, you always have the chance to turn around.

How Does This Law Effects Us

A path of Love is characterized by the fact that the innate potential of a person is used fully and unfolds constantly for the best of all. Doing so the way increases the joy of everyone.

A way of Love always follows a good purpose, which is mostly joy, curiosity as well as unfolding and developing the self. So the way of Love is a way of joy, creativity and development of the individual in the service of all.

On earth, it is also a path of learning: learning the principles of Love through the collection of experiences and the returning, or the awakening, to Love.

It is a fact, that our high road on earth is an expansion and growing of the soul, and mostly this happy track is accompanied by fear. Fear of the expansion of the soul, fear of the inner greatness, fear of the unknown. We have the tendency wanting to remain in the habit, the known, stay in our comfort zone (though it may not be beautiful there).

That is the reason why we often repeat our past, until we try new steps, create new ideas, and follow new beliefs. It is good to overcome the inner need for the feeling of saftey that comes from the familiar, Love wants us to be brave and step forward.

So the way of Love is also a way of overcoming fears and doubts against all odds. Love supports us by turning our fears kindly into lessons of Love, to give us a hand on our way out of our personal comfort zone right onto our personal path of joy.

All illusions fall aside one by one while we replace our fear based beliefs with Love based beliefs. Such as the desire to manipulate people in order to feel powerful, or to have the biggest bank account of all in order to impress or feel safe.

This is the learning process we all go through on this planet earth: we learn what we want and what we don't want, and to choose what serves our well-being the most.

We learn to align our free will with our true self instead with our ego, and only when we follow our true self we will find all what we desire and all that we are looking for. An ego driven life cannot lead into happiness and fulfillment.

All of us will be aligned with our true self someday, nobody will stop this journey unhappy and nobody will stay on the long run by free will in a place of discomfort and unbearable pain. The learning must not happen in this life, it can take a lot of lives – that as well is completely OUR CHOICE.

„The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage.“- Perikles

Free will and the freedom to choose according to one's own will is an important tool that constitutes our learning and experience in this life. Freedom is a goodie of Love, and we must protect it, for without freedom there is no learning and no fulfillment of purpose on earth. It is important that we can freely develop our ego in order to overcome it one day. Our soul can only reach full maturity when our ego is free to choose, and free for any change we desire. Even if our free will misguides us, and our false beliefs create illusions that overwrite the beautiful Truth, all of that belongs in this world and is an important part of the journey. This life is meant to be an adventure and that is a good thing, that is what we came here for, to live freely and discover Love in a world of contrast.

How To Benefit From It

We have the power of choice and we can begin to use it consciously for our highest good and the highest good of all. We can begin to understand, that the moment we align our free will with our soul, with the voice of Love within that directs us directly into the Holy Harmony, we leave out a lot of detours, we save us unnecessary pain and return faster and quicker to Love, which means a beautiful, joyful life filled with excitement and ease. Wouldn't that be cool?

ACIM suggests saying this prayer to make sure you don't fall into the ego trap: "What miracles should I perform today? Where do you want me to go? What should I say and to whom?" Or simply, "God, dear universe, how can I serve you best today? Show me the way." (Did you know that many famous and successful people do and did this? Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Lee Kerner, Gabby Bernstein, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay and so many more.)

It's about making your wildest dreams come true by letting Love and life guide you and giving your deepest trust to that greater foce than you. Our job is to think, feel and visualize as positively and beautifully as possible, to master our thoughts and feelings, our energy state and be willing to give our all. Wanting to feel joy and serve the world, is the attitude that will lead us into a blissful life. Love, or the universe, will then deliver to us the best for us, as well. Give your best and let Love do her thing. "God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams." (Ephesians 3:20 MSG)

We can choose to live a life without suffering by opening ourselves up to the ways and answers of Love, by embracing them and making them our own! It's not us who knows it all, it's Love. And we are able to get all answers we need at any time by calling out for Love.
