Do not think that Humanity has always had free choice. It has not. Do not think that all other beings in your Solar Body have free choice. They do not. Be aware that free choice is a gift to Humanity at this stage of the Earth´s development, in its present incarnation, so that Humanity may advance its consciousness to perform the will of its Creator.
Learning the Limitations
When Humanity first incarnated on the planet Earth, when it dwelt in perfection with the Angels, the messengers of Infinite Spirit, it did not have and did not need free choice. For many aeons of time Humanity dwelt without that gift, for it was not necessary. Then the Beings of whom you know so little, your Solar Logos and the Lords who control this Solar Body and the Earth within it, decided that in order to advance its consciousness Humanity itself had to learn the limitations of its being.
Humanity was therefore reincarnated on Earth with the gift of free choice from its Creator, and in that Humanity now had this gift it could evolve and advance its consciousness, for by its choice it would learn goodness from evil, it would recognise light from darkness, it would know life from death. Ever since this reincarnation on the Earth Humanity has been advancing, albeit slowly, by exercising this gift. It is only because of the way that Humanity has misused this gift that the Earth finds itself in its present state of consciousness.
The Choice
Humanity has not chosen correctly. Humanity has the choice, even today, of choosing between spirituality and materialism. Humanity has the choice between thinking of itself and thinking of its fellow human beings. Humanity has the choice of thinking about its world, the Earth, and of thinking about other worlds, the other planets, in this Solar Body. The choice, depending upon the level of soul-evolution, is always there. For those who are incarnating on the Earth for the first or second time obviously the choice is simple and limited. For those who have evolved their consciousness through many lives on Earth the choice is more subtle and complicated.
But every being on this Earth is here to exercise his or her choice and to learn and to evolve through that choice. As the act of exercising your choice is the prime reason for your existence it is surely worthy of your most earnest consideration. Therefore do not make a choice lightly, without thought. Remember that how you choose will have an effect not only on yourself but also on others. So choose with thought, after meditation.
Does Humanity Have Free Will??
Let us now examine the question of free will. Does Humanity have free will? This question touches on the whole concept of life within this Solar Body and, indeed, within Creation. Unevolved Man likes to think that he is supreme, that he does indeed have free will, that he can do whatever he wants, when he wants and where he wants. He believes that he can control the destiny of Humanity and the destinies of the Animal, the Vegetable and the Mineral Kingdoms. He believes that he can control the destiny of the World, of its races and peoples. With the thoughtlessness of supreme egotism he believes that he is God on Earth. Unevolved Man still has a great deal to learn, for the more evolved you become the more aware you become of forces, of controls, of disciplines, of wills, of orders, of hierarchies way above the level of Humanity´s consciousness.
The Minuteness of Humanity
If you look down at an individual being dwelling on the surface of this Earth and then withdraw into Space seeing first the street, then the town, then the country, then the hemisphere, then the Earth, then the Solar Body in which the Earth dwells, then the Galaxy in which that Solar Body dwells, then the "Super" Galaxy in which that little Galaxy dwells, you will recognise the minuteness of Humanity and the complexity, the control and the organisation of Space and of life in it.
It is not possible that unevolved Man living on the surface of the planet Earth could control, even if he were allowed to, such complexities of Space. When Man does not even understand how the Earth rotates and functions, when he does not even understand the influences which act on the Earth both from within and without, how could he control other, far greater, forces??
Most Things are Planned
What is carried out on the surface of this Earth is the will, the power and the influence of the Beings who are responsible for this Earth and, more especially, of our God, our Solar Logos, Who stands above us all. Man might like to think that he has free will, but he does not. If he did but understand it, most things in his life are planned.
Within the boundaries of his life Man has only a narrow choice to make, for he incarnates into a planned family, into a planned country, into a planned way of life. He vibrates under a certain Ray, he is born under the specific influence of certain planets. He has chosen to meet certain people in his earthly incarnation from which he will learn certain lessons. He has chosen many of the incidents that are to happen in his life: all this before he even incarnates into matter!
