Our conscience is not free. It is an essential part of out personal makeup.
There are sociopaths. I would hesitate to characterize them as persons. The best possible world includes many ‘handicapped’ individuals. They constitute a very significant part of our existential challenge.
We do not all have the same opportunities to cultivate our personhood. We have to focus on different aspects. What we focus on, individually, is not arbitrary.
Then the is an individual and collective unconscious in which we all participate. Those unconscious forces are well beyond any individual’s choice. Even many of those who believe in heaven and hell, believe equally in predestination. I don’t believe in hell.
I do believe in cosmic justice. Justice is ensured by the fact that we all share in the karma of the one cosmic Soul. In as much as a sociopath partakes of the cosmic Soul, we all partake of his pathology.
We are all in the same boat..... make no mistake.
Heaven and hell, in as much as they exist, exist right here on Earth. ShangriLa and the 72 virgins......? Well, the other side is not a resort. Donald Trump is leasing no hotels over there. Leopardland is limboland. It is what shields us from the direct glare of the Source/Monad. It is our way-station, back to the Source.
If we wish to do a serious makeover, we have all the time in the world to do that right here. It is called the Millennium, or God’s Kingdom. It starts when we learn the truth of why we’re here.
Eric may have already achieved the Kingdom...... and he claims only a divine ignorance. Well, go figure.......
God’s Kingdom....... half the ‘fun’ was getting there. Yes?
And, exactly why are we here......? Are we God’s ambrosia?
Most of our struggle has been an uphill battle to contribute our ten cents to Creation. We do this both wittingly and unwittingly. We struggle to achieve our maximum individuality/separation from the Source.
With the advent of Revelation, we will be homewjiiard bound. Think of all the potential energy we have put into stretching our bond with the Source. Going back home will now be the easy part. Ask Eric.
1:10FT............
If we have no free will, are we zombies or robots.....?
I don’t feel that way. I still think of myself as a rational being, capable of knowing truth and love. However, Plantinga asks how we can be rational without being self-motivated.
I don’t think of rationality as an individual possession. Rather, we, as persons, partake of the cosmic Logos. We are brain cells in the mind of God. We have no more free will than do our individual neurons.
We may argue with each other about a common concern. Both of us may change our minds as a result. And we might then both be wrong. There are many missteps on the path, but we will all make it back, eventually. Each misstep is a lesson learned. It is the winnowing of the Logos.
This is all a team effort, even when we are at each other’s throats..... even if you bomb me to smithereens.
It is all a work of art. In the end it is the inspiration that overrides our seeming free will. And did God have any choice in creating the best possible world? Do we suppose that this is a cosmic experiment?
Part of being a person is to learn by failure. Is God not a person? Many suppose that it was God’s ‘failure’, back when, that has been the greatest inspiration, ever. Go figure....... many try.
2..........
I do hear chatter about the elite this..... and the PtB that......
Are They not keeping the Katechon highly polished and secure? Will a thief in the night come and steal it away? That may be the plan.
Are Ron and Aliyah not working for the Man? They may be, and I’d be the last to know. But so what? If God wants to poke a hole in the Katechon, is anyone going to stop her? I wouldn’t bet against destiny.
And while we’re on the subject of free will, don’t we know that time is an illusion? Eternity resides in every second, and the universe in every atom. What are our minds, if not a microcosm? That is how we are in the image of the creator.
In what abyss does the world float? Well, I suspect that the only thing that doesn’t exist is nothingness. Might there not have been nothing, rather than something, especially if this something is tiny, by any astronomical scale?
In what medium are astronauts floating, if not the vacuum of space....?
Well, let’s say that they are floating inside the stargate portal. They are just unable to get through to the other side. Each portal has two sides. And, if truth be known, some did make it through. Go ask Edgar or Kit Green, the debriefer.
The entire Earth is a portal, and the surrounding space is the airlock. That’s all. The Sun is our sunlamp.
Astronomers have other stories...... mainly that we’re lost. Ain’t that the truth. It’s just that with all the cacophony, we have a hard time hearing the still, small voice, within. We’d much rather listen for a radio signal from the void. Yes, I still might have to eat my hat.
Then there was the anthropic/design principle. It seemed that the signal was loud and clear, but only, apparently, if you wanted to hear it. Physicists were in no rush to embrace metaphysics. Just in time, they dreamed of a Multiverse, and went on about their business, as if nothing had happened. The Katechon was alive and well.
It was time to bring in the heavy artillery to go up against the fortress of scientific materialism...... where did the Princess and chicken little get off to?
If truth be known, we were in the middle of a knock down fight about who would get to play Alice, in the GtM of the eponymous tale. Kashmir had to read me the riot act..... again.
