The Insidiousness of Fear

[Sacred Fool]

...What remains then?  Is not the opposite of free will slavery or mindless passivity?...

Releasing the little will to that of the greater will. The will is still free. When one gives itself as an instrument to the One Infinite Creator, this is not giving the will away. There is no one else to give it to. It is still the same one that now has the will of the instrument. It was always the One Creator. The only thing that changed is the vantage point from which that will now operate that instument.

The key issue I have with this concept resides in semantics, which is a personal blockage for sure. I find it too close to dogmatic religious blindness to say I do the will of the Creator, or give myself "as an instrument to the One Infinite Creator."

 
This is the personal journey of spiritual discovery, is it not?  To find the pathway by which one can put the 3D-operational self into perspective, cut through the mental verbosity and offer what remains of self to exploration of higher consciousness.  In some sense, this is The Choice.  That the choice of polarity, then, is one generalised specification of the initial choice to serve as a voyager into consciousness beyond the obvious wheel spinning of 3D.  And, clearly, we each choose some indivualised variation of such a pathway.  I might add, in keeping with the theme of the thread, that this individualisation can be sculpted in part by fear of one sort or another.
