The will is the executive faculty of the mind, our
determining factor. What we will WILL
come to pass.
The will is the center in mind around which revolve
all the activities that constitute consciousness. It is the avenue through which the I AM
expresses its potentiality into form.
The will may be said to be that part of us which creates our
character. When we will the Will of God,
we build spiritual character.
Many of us are terrified of the Will of God, especially
early in our spiritual journey. This is
because we believe in a God who would will something unpleasant for us, for our
own good!!! It’s also because we believe
we are separate from God and so “our will” is different from “God’s Will.”
Note: If we
substitute “Good” for the name “God”, we get a different perspective. “I will do that which is Good’s Will.” Goodwill.
Later in our spiritual journey, we begin identifying with
our True Self, which is that part of ourselves which is One with Good, with
God. And we begin to realize that the
Greatest Good of All INCLUDES our Good.
(This means the Good that, once we know it, even WE would will it.)
This Tessarakonta season, we are, for the time being,
surrendering our human will to the Greatest Good possible for us. We are surrendering just to see if we might
discover a Good better than what we had been imagining with our false
beliefs. The Will of Good/God NEVER has
a false belief about us.
QUESTION TO PONDER:
What New Good might I experience once I accept the possibility that
there is a Greater Good than I have ever imagined available to me?
