Free will

What it is

Free will is one of the greatest gifts we have been given. It is our God-given ability to choose our inner direction. Every moment offers another opportunity to align ourselves with truth.

Why it matters

Free will becomes a creative force when we consciously choose truth over illusion. Learning to recognize the difference is one of the great turning points on a spiritual path.

We are made in God’s likeness, which means we’re welcome to exercise our free will. No one is forcing us to live in light and bliss.

But we can if we wish. (Chapter 14)

Let’s start by sorting out some semantics between self-will and free will. Because the meaning of these words is not the same.

A key differentiator is that free will can be used for good purposes, or for bad. So although free will can be utilized for perpetuating evil, it’s also a necessary ingredient for self-development.

We simply can’t fulfill God’s will without applying our free will to accepting it and choosing it. (Chapter 13)
