When God, in the beginning, created man, he made him subject to his own free choice.
If you choose you can keep the commandments;
it is loyalty to do his will.
There are set before you fire and water;
to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand.
Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him.
SIRACH 15:14-17…
Reflecting from essence… the intuitive mind of essence…
As it was in the beginning, free choice – the pattern and process of Jesus, of Mary – is yet again at the fore… actively demanded at this time of now… a time of diminishing vitality… dimishing vitality of life. A time of diminishing spirit… the accessing and manifesting of spirit. Free choice… free will – the freedom from attachment, the ableness to unerringly choose the right and good… right for the one, good for the whole… and at this time of potential, a time of realization, right for humanity, good for the whole of life.
The perspective we hold, where we start our thinking from, determines the path we take; what we move towards, what we move away from.
At this time we are being called to move towards life, intentional life, the whole of life… to make wholistic free will choices… choices that have within the whole of humanity – working for all children in the world – and the whole of life – bringing the world of our making into congruence with the world of intent. Wholeness is both the aim and the required at this time of now. The wholeness that is present in conscious choice… the seeing and understanding of intended ways of working… a seeing and understanding that becomes possible through intentional dialoguing… a process not of the one, but rather of two or more… community is the smallest whole at this time. A process of relatedness… of our establishing and sustaining a relatedness to intent – intent of the Source – through work… our intended work with regard to life… to ongoing everlasting life. Free will conscious choice being the gift, the pollinating gift of humanity to life… the life, the whole of life… choices that are now called to reflect the whole of humanity, the whole of life… which in turn require a life of the whole perspective… a perspective that does not diminish the truths – the caring for, the judge not, lest we be judged, etc., truths – of the human centered free choices we have made; but rather enfolds them into the more wholistic choices now required. A life of the whole perspective that makes real the intentional realities of life – realities with regard to the land – and makes practice-able, the intended ways of working of life. From a life of the whole perspective, we can begin, through the intuition of wholeness, to see that earth organizes herself in life energy fields… that it is common for life’s members to tune into and be tuned by the particular life energy field… with harmonious accord being naturally intended. Harmonious accord being a reflection of reciprocally nourishing processes… inspiriting processes. Inspiriting, reciprocally, nourishing processes being essential to the flourishing and eternalizing of life… and essential to the fruitfulness of ourselves and to our becoming an authentic true people of earth… Spirit led… spirit of the land, spirit of the people… spirit of creation led processes that enfold us into the eternalizing of life on and through earth. An exercise of free will, conscious choice that reflects:
The Father’s command of eternal life…
The going forward commandments of Christ:
Love one another as I have loved you…
Love God.
The accessing and manifesting of the spirit of creation present at the forming of our country… embedded within its forming process… visibly present in the commonly expressed conviction of our being one nation, indivisible; conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal… a truth that continues to deepen and unfold… embedded within… present and accessible… spirit and potential now being called upon. Not so much for the completion of what was, but rather in terms of what needs to be… what now needs to be… to be pursued… the work of now… work that now needs to be taken up… work and purpose beyond our self, inclusive of, yet beyond our country… purpose and work of and from the Spirit. Work for all children in the world… working to bring the world of our making into congruence with the world of intent.
And so… there is free choice… intentionally given, inherently endowed… that which was present in the beginning… that which is present now. Yes, before us is life and death… increasing vitality of life, the whole of life, our life… a life in and of the Spirit. Or diminishing of life, our life, all of life… a diminishing of accessing and manifesting Spirit. We have within, intentionally within, free will choice… choice that through the intuition of wholeness – that which is present within, accessible, and developable; that which gives access to the wisdom of intent – can become a manifestation of free will, conscious choice. Choices and ableness that naturally will not reflect the whole of the image, the whole of the intended unfolding of the Source; but sufficient for the work at hand – the intentional, instrumental work at hand… having faith that we are not called for that which we cannot – as vessels for love, instruments for work – bring about, say “Yes” to. This seeing and understanding of free choice has brought some clarifying truth to “Man having dominion over earth”: free choice over life and death.
