The manifestation of time

[tadeus]

If your concept of consciousness time was true, then there would be no free will as is the common argument against either free will in a universe with an omniscient creator. More specifically you would have to decide whether free will exists, or whether the higher self exists. Sequential consciousness time would necessitate that there would be no difference between the looking back between lives and the higher self overseeing lives.

Q'uo:
What is the right use of will? My friends, this is a question which will be with you for a long time to come, well beyond your present lifetime and, indeed, this present density. For the will is, as Ra described it, the "great conduit to the Creator." In the experiment, shall we say, that is the creation, each of the Creator's parts are endowed with this will. This will is baked into the design of your beingness. It is that primal mechanism whereby you will choose your method of self-discovery; choose among an infinite variety of choices, your pathway to the Creator; choose your manner of beingness and expression and the duration and extent and entanglement of confusion as you teeter between that primal balance of acceptance and resistance.

Aiming the will towards acceptance is, we would say, a skillful use of will, for each act of acceptance smooths the journey and aligns one's self with, you might say, a more organic evolutionary path. This is not to say that there are wrong choices, per se, or that there are mistakes. In the macrocosmic sense, every use of will is a right use of will, for even in confusion, even in resistance and negation, the self will be meeting the self. Even if what is met is resisted or run from, that, too, teaches—and, once consciously embraced, will reveal self to self.

These seemingly dual or paradoxical uses of will, wherein one seeks a goal versus accepts what is presented, may be framed and approached in a variety of ways—one of which we would submit for your consideration is as something of a continuum, whereby one mode transitions into the other by that faculty made possible through acceptance, which is perhaps taken to an even higher level, which you might call trust or faith.

For in the personal use of will, which the Creator hopes that you will exercise in your choice-making journey, the more that you can set the will to the vibration and practice of acceptance, the more that your own will blends with the one will. And [if] trust [is exercised] that that which you are experiencing is the fruit of your personal will, then that which is reflected back to you—particularly and especially the difficult and challenging catalyst, the limitations, and the pain—is, shall we say, [understood to be] the universe working for you. [It is] the intelligent, responsive, adaptive illusion providing you the material that you wanted; on a fundamental level, material that is shaped by preincarnational bias and imprinting, and then continued with the exercise of the incarnate will.
