A Further Lesson On Will.

The Beloved One: “Today we will discus the meaning of the subject of Will. Many of your siblings entertain pre-conceived notions and opinions as to what Will represents. Is it to want something, to will something and make this happen, to bend others to their will, and so forth? However, the most important one -- to learn to do the Will of God -- is often the most puzzling and confusing to them, and yet it is the simplest of all. The true spiritual meaning of doing God’s Will is to allow things to happen. It is to allow your inner Voice to lead you, rather than to let your baser animal instincts to guide you.

“In the beginning, and it may simply be with the urge to make sense out of life, you start out on your spiritual path of seeking that indefinable ‘something’. The start of this might be triggered at any age during mortal life, but ideally this happens when a child reaches the age of ‘discernment’, and makes a conscious choice between right and wrong. At that very moment the Inner Pilot comes to indwell that child, and from then on it often makes, ‘unconsciously’ at first, the choice to be lead by this Indweller. Slowly, true soul-hunger develops.

“During the formative years, much depends on the outer circumstances of how willingness to be led develops. At times, this is very gradual, but sometimes they forget and mortals have to be ‘brought to their knees’, so to speak, and made to realize that there is more to life than just meaningless enjoyment. It is very much a matter of where the conscious, or unconscious attention is placed, which then determines the plane on which the person lives.

“So if he or she lives on the surface of life, then everything is superficial and mundane, but when one begins to think a bit more independently, and begins to question the true purpose of life, and starts seeking for the deeper meanings and values, and develops a hunger to ‘look behind the veil’ into eternity, then the true soul begins to grow, and seeks to be fed and nurtured. He or she will feel a need to belong somewhere.

“This urge and search to belong, does not stop until is found the Eternal God. Until realization dawns that, in all actuality, he or she has always belonged to God, because he or she simply cannot exist without God, for everything is inclusive in God. God has given mortals the Gift of free will. It is up to each mortal to choose to do the Will of God, and live in that consciousness of mind to figure out what all this means, and then start acting on the leadings and the prompts of the God-Fragment within them.

“Ponder what ‘doing the Will of God’ means to you.”
