Enlightenment just... happens by itself. (Free Will vs Predetermination)

[Nau7ik]

I guess presented this way they can seem like opposing forces but I think the key to solve this paradox is to see fate and freewill as united, as one single process, seen from different perspectives. Fate is chosen and freewill is fated. Then like you say, neither is true and neither is false.

That was wonderful! I had been contemplating free will vs fate because this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this question this week.

We makes plans, we choose lessons, preincarnative programming, we make contacts and agreements before the incarnation (which is still free will btw). Within incarnation under the veil it seems like fate and destiny, no free will. Yet, what we had chosen to do before life converges with ourselves in the present moment. It is ALWAYS our choice how we shall meet that which we are given. There are many possibilities and probabilities, all of which we are responsible for creating and cocreating. We as humans under a veil simply cannot see beyond the illusion or into our deeper minds. We don’t see the consequences that certain choices may bring later on.

You reading this are in the present moment. You have free will to do whatever you want with this moment. What do we choose to do? How do we choose to be?

The spiritual alarm clock may go off in one’s incarnation, and he may choose to ignore it or not. For me, the wake up call was from a book calling to me at the library. It was a very clear feeling, resonance. I ignored the book and scoffed at it the first time. A week or two later I went back to the library and saw the book again. This time I couldn’t resist the curiosity, the call. Why was this book (Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice) calling for me to pick it up? Well, I read it and it was exactly what was needed for me to begin waking up. (I look back with hindsight and see the amazing pattern.) I was seeing Christ for the first time. Not the dogmatic rigid biased interpretation from religion. Because before that I had a disdain for religion and Christianity. I didn’t realize my problem was with the churches and their interpretations rather than Christ himself. This was absolutely necessary for me to realize my spiritual path and to be able to appreciate the Law of One later on.

In conclusion, our free will choices meet the present moment. It’s your choice.
