Carla, very nice to connect with you. My question is regarding the distortion of free will. Ive been thinking lately about the nature of influence and how it appears to me that our actions, thoughts, and desires are all stemming from where we find ourselves in a given moment along with the influence of how we perceived, lived, and experienced our previous moments. I dont see where WILL can be truly FREE of influence and am curious to hear what insight you can offer regarding this topic. I sense that we live the experiences of making choices and having free will, and understand this to be what Ra refers to when they use the word distortion. I am grateful that my influences have led me to a place of experiencing choosing loving, appreciating, balancing, etc etc but I dont see how one who is influenced in another direction can be expected to live the same choice or experience. Can we really lighten the planetary vibration beyond what is influenced to be? or are we simply living the current complexity of all that is, which, in this place and time, happens to be living the experience of lightening the planetary vibrations and balancing of the energy centers within what we call ourself. Id love to believe in Free will and often do but a part of me also is confused as to the true nature of this experience of choice. So my question may be simply, where does Free Will originate from within the experiences of a self?
Ive come to a place where all is equal and all is beautiful and this material has helped greatly in my path of seeking. The differential and polarity of all that is, within my current understanding, is what directly supports and defines our experiences of desire, appreciation, fear, lack, and many other experiences that drive us to continue living this experience together. I sense that if we were truly Free in our Will then this would indicate an ending of the creation and not a continuation of it. There must always be greater than, and less than in my view for experience as we know it to be to continue. This indicates to me Free Will as an experience and not as an absolute truth of who we are and what we may accomplish.
I use this analogy. If a planet in its orbit becomes aware of its potential to express thought and realizes in any given moment it could stop in its orbit and reverse orbital path, but chooses through its understanding of free will to maintain its forward motion, it would in this instance have the experiences of contemplation, choice, and free will as associated experiences of complex forward motion through space and time. I sense that the seeing of other potentials as we walk about our days, along with the choosing of what we only could have chosen based on personal and collective influence as being the nature of the distortion of free will. Id love to hear what you have to offer to this idea. Namaste.
