Oy:What if Free Will is Only a Myth

My being told to question everything has led me to this question: Have you ever wondered why there is this constant struggle between Destiny and free will? In the simplest terms: did man’s ego invent free will because of a need to feel some control over life? Why does this constant struggle between Destiny and free will exist? The Source of All doesn’t need for us to have free will; man needs it to satisfy his ego’s need to be in control. Have you ever wondered how we get a thought in our head? Isn’t it really the Source who places it there in a whisper? Isn’t that what they call “inspiration?” What if we are all just playing out the Book of Life according to The Source of Life?

Each morning, we awake to find we have our soul for just one more day. Now what do we choose to do? Through teachings, we are taught to choose to have gratitude for being here and to do our part in repairing the Universe. So we go about the day recognizing and acknowledging our blessings, one by one. As we interact with others, again from our teachings, we choose to remember to do so with “holy intent.” When, throughout the day, we miss the mark on one thing or another, we are again taught to choose to forgive ourselves for the indiscretion in hopes of learning from it, then remembering the lesson we were meant to know to release the need to experience it again in our lifetime.

Yet, isn’t it only right to put credit where credit is due: at the Source? The Source of All has a greater plan than any that man’s mind could begin to comprehend. Only after the experience are we allowed to sometimes see the purpose for the need of events to unfold as they do in our lives.

I’ve learned this year that I am truly living my life on “Life’s Terms,” not mine. How arrogant of me to think I was in control of anything in my life. And when I thought I was choosing freely, how self-important again were those thoughts! So now I’ve started to study my lesson to live life on Life’s Terms and have noticed that when I do, those are the times my world is in sync; as when I don’t, and attempt to force things, I lose the essence of the Oneness with all. It’s been an arduous lesson for my ego to come face to face with if ever there was one.

My father used to remind me that once you identify something you can address it and move on. While I’ve been a fool with regard to many of my life lessons, I can see wisely that learning this lesson will continue to be a lifetime measure and not just one season’s journey. The most important thing I feel I have learned from now acknowledging “Life’s Terms” is not so much the terms themselves, but the acceptance of Life’s Terms. It’s in the acceptance of the Life’s Terms that I will learn and know what it means to be at peace. Thanks for what was to be found in a whisper.
