FREE CHOICE OR FREE WILL -- PART THREE

Not only is the will of your Creator controlling this planet but also the will of all those beings more evolved than yourselves who can impose their will on you as well: the beings on the other planets of this Solar Body.



An Analogy
If I can make an analogy, I will compare the time of your incarnation on Earth to a person driving a car along a highway. In the beginning that person is placed in his car on the highway. The will of his Creator is such that he should drive along that highway from point A to point B, and as it is the will of his Creator within him he feels an urge to follow that highway. Of course he may at any time leave that highway if he so desires. He may even not return to that highway. But where can he really go even when he is off that highway?? He is in a car and therfore he can only leave the highway along the roads leading off it. He must keep to the roads that have been planned, that are already laid out, for he cannot suddenly invent new roads.

Let us say that God is the Being Who planned that highway, Who planned those roads. Therefore any person can travel only along the highways and the roads that God has planned. How far can he go along those roads? He has only so much petrol in his tank, and when he runs out of petrol what then happens? He is forced to stop. So just as that motorist is limited by his petrol tank, so your physical life has a limit as well. The petrol tank, that limit, is already determined by your Creator. The roads are planned by your Creator. So what may you do but stay within the limitations of your Creator??

Our Limitations

People who are poor and dwell in a poor part of a country will not have the opportunity, unless their destiny decrees it, of travelling all over the World, of mixing with many people. They will be confined to one small part of the World as their Creator intended. A tribe dwelling in a jungle will not suddenly find itself uprooted and placed in a metropolis of one of the technologically advanced countries of the Western World. So the limitations of your Creator are there if you will but recognise them.

Even you who live in the so-called civilised countries of the Western World are limited. In spite of what you might think, Humanity today, with all its modern material and scientific methods, still does not create, for all creation is drawn out of Infinite Mind. Infinite Mind, which is part of Infinite Spirit, releases to Humanity only what Humanity is allowed to have. Humanity has the choice to use the knowledge that is released to it either for good or evil, but that inspiration would not be given to Humanity unless its Creator intended it for it.

Greater Forces in Control

Man today has the means of destroying the Earth. He has his hydrogen and his cobalt bombs, and therefore people today think that Man could easily destroy the Earth. He has the power to do so but, of course, greater forces than Man control this Earth and he will not be allowed to do it. So all those people who fear the total destruction of this Earth through hydrogen warfare need not worry. It will not take place, for not only is the will of your Creator controlling this but also the will of all those beings more evolved than yourselves who can impose their will on you as well: the beings on the other planets of this Solar Body, especially those from Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, who are at present around the aura of the Earth influencing, guiding, helping, repairing where Humanity´s ignorance has destroyed. Their will, will be done. They will not allow the Earth to be destroyed in its entirety.

The Principle Lesson

Remember that there are many beings with a greater will, a greater power, than you. You are an infinitesimal speck on the Earth struggling to evolve. You are like a young boy at school: you may be given a loaded gun to practise shooting, but there is always a teacher close at hand to see that you do not shoot yourself or one of your fellow pupils.

The will of your Creator is that you should evolve spiritually through life in a physical body on the Earth. You are here to experience life on the Earth as well as upon the other planes of existence. This Earth is but a school onto which you incarnate to learn its lessons. The principle lesson of this Earth is one of sacrificial service, and Humanity has the choice of whether it wishes to sacrifice or not.

Those of you who do indeed sacrifice, who do think of your fellow brothers and sisters before yourselves, who do think of the other Kingdoms before your own, who are totally aware of life on this planet, will begin to appreciate the will of your Creator, and if you understand the will of your Creator for this Earth then you will understand the Earth, the part that it plays in the whole, together with the function of those who dwell on it.

Only Free Choice

You are all born under great planetary influences, or wills. You all vibrate under one of the seven major Rays which control this planet, and you are further individually restricted by the Ray under which you vibrate. These Rays bear down upon you at all times, restricting you, controlling you, and guiding you. You are restricted even more by your own evolution.

So as you walk your path in life recognise that you have free choice, and that you must be responsible for that choice, but also recognize the will of your Creator in everything around you. It is not your Earth. Your brothers and sisters around you are not of your creation. The Animal, the Vegetable and the Mineral Kingdoms were all created by a greater force than you. Humanity creates nothing and therefore Humanity can control nothing. Only when you can create may you exercise the Will.
