Dear Wanderers, I am a bit confused about the concept of free will and want to discuss it. Maybe I missunderstood something?
I believe that we were all the same in all aspecs while we were one with the One, but then we enter the wheel of life, or incarnations, or densities of being-ness. Through eons of "time" we incarnate here and there in different kind of life forms, experiencing different kind of situations and different other selves, expanding the consciousness. I believe that consciousness is what is created when immaterial essence, that is spirit, coalesces with materia, or physical body, which is equiped with "blind" drive of instincts and urges. I think that is what Ra refers to as "mind". Well, anyway, all this countless incarnations through eons of time is what shapes us in different ways and makes us to those shiny unique diamonds that sparkles in our own unique ways.
Free will that Ra is talking about is a concept, understood by me, as something that we can do something about.
Beeing unique there is only one path for each and one of us that is "right". All roads lead to Rome, but there is only one that is right for you. We can fight our true self as much as we want and we can hide our true selves as much as we want, but it will only prolong the inavoidable – to make that only choice that is "right". What I mean is if someone is supposed to go negative way to come to Creator, can this entity fight it somehow and "choose" the positive way anyway? This thought crossed my mind when I recognized that true voice inside myself. When I was "off-the-road", when I was doing the "wrong" thing, the thing I am not "ment" to do, it felt wrong, and not only that, it felt bad inside. I get hurt when I do things that are not "right". When we doing "wrong" we suffer and become hurt, and we continue to suffer until we find our way "home" and do finally what is "right".
So we can fight as much as we want, but we can't overcome our true essence, our being, ie who we are, and therefore we can't overcome that unique, "right", path/choice that is for each and one of us. We will prolong the path by fighting and suffering but eventually we will get tired and we will give up. So where is the free will in that? I really don't get it...
