Free will

The following article makes frequent use of the work liberty in a personal and spiritual context applicable only to animate living and breathing men and women, which fall only within the soil and land jurisdictions. It must be pointed out that the word liberty is also widely used in the legal context within the sea and air jurisdictions. In the context of the sea and air jurisdictions liberty only applies to corporate and incorporated entities which are inanimate group organisations devoid of actual life, and in this context, the word liberty is frequently used to mean license to do whatever the organisation wishes to do within the particular legal framework to which it is beholden. As an example, an army may be granted a license to legally murder people under a declaration of war. Liberty of this nature is diametrically opposed to the type of liberty being discussed in this article, which is limited to liberty to do good to yourself and to others, within the parameters of free will as framed by divinity.

I will discuss a universal law with you — that is the law of personal liberty. Liberty is viewed as a gift from the heavens, but I like to look at liberty as if it were a map to our Paradise Father.

Many people in today's society are seeing religious or spiritual values as binding, or imprisoning the true nature of a mortal. They view spiritual values as a contract to keep that promises eternal salvation. Should you choose to break the contract, then of course there is no salvation to be had many believe. The true nature of the ascending soul is rooted in liberty and free will. The freedom to experience, learn to the best of their ability and in their own time, use their wisdom gained to assist others and uphold universal laws.

Some religions teach their own version of universal laws, which are not congruent with the ascending soul. Of course their laws and universal laws seem to work against the animal-self certainly, but universal laws are a natural outworking of evolutionary experience and are in alignment with the ascending soul. The universal laws are looked at as equality enforcers, safety measures, and assistants to the growth of the Supreme Being.

The law of personal liberty teaches us that Father is calling His children. He wants to be known and made personal to each individual child. The law of personal liberty tells us 'all choices are ours to make.' The Father loves you enough to let you go and find your own way to Him, in your own time, according to your own ability. There is not need to hurry or be pressured to follow a correct path or risk losing eternal salvation. All things work best when there is no pressure — only peace. Peace allows the best in everyone to
rise above turmoil, negativity and darkness.

There are many aspects to the universal law of liberty. I will mention the very important aspect of 'integrity.' As we mature in our spiritual growth we learn to sharpen our view of integrity. Integrity is the intention to
uphold universal laws and choose to trust in those On High. No doubt does the Father have an overall picture and superior outlook on all that was, is, and will be.

Spiritual liberty with integrity chooses Father — not the ways of self. Of course, we will all have hopes and desires, goals and dreams, and Father knows this. He does not ask you to sacrifice any of these things. He only asks that you stand-by, allow Him to help, because while He is teaching you, He incorporates others in to also teach them to create a higher good. Remember we are working for the growth of the Supreme. To be with spiritual integrity is a commitment to upholding universal laws. In your commitment are you more empowered with spiritual gifts to assist in creating greater good.

As we all know, Lucifer and his cohorts promoted greater self-good. They had not spiritual integrity and worked not for the growth of the Supreme Being. They disregarded universal laws in favor of self-indulgence. Their ultimate craving was to be superior, set above others, to gather attention and be praised. Self-fulfillment was their goal and while liberty allowed them to put their goal into action, integrity stopped them in their accomplishing it.

Everyone has personal liberty, but not everyone is with integrity. Do you understand how integrity carries you far beyond being a part of the universe to becoming an integral inner working of it? It is worthwhile to ponder spiritual liberty with and without integrity. Where does self lead you and where does self-forgetfulness lead you? Where does your map of personal liberty lead?
