I wrestle with the idea of free will quite a bit. I have always had a highly fated life, and often think I have only enough rope to hang myself with… only enough free will to make my fated life harder. Is this true for all of us? Quite possibly.
2024 has been laced with epiphany. It makes me glad I did a few decades of shadow work to prepare for this future. But did that matter? Did I get all these amazing insights because I prepared, or is it just time? The veil is thinning, and that could be the actual cause of my reality shifts. Would I still be right where I am if I had spent the last twenty years checking out with drugs? Did I miss that memo?
This timeline split is getting really obvious, and it’s a good argument for choosing to do inner work. Lower frequency people are just dropping out of my life. At the lower frequency, it looks like life is getting more intense to push people into waking up. Just enough free will to make life harder than it needs to be. Still, there are choices available.
I do believe there is free will to a point. From the outside, it is definitely a choice to live at a certain frequency. Even if the end game is fated, we get to choose our quality of life by choosing what thoughts we dwell on. I’m not at all suggesting that “negative” thoughts or feelings be suppressed. Negativity always needs to be intentionally processed and released, but doing that extra work is a choice. Processing and releasing negativity allows our frequency to rise, thus providing a higher foundation to build from.
Everyone I know who has found their way to a spiritual path is just calmer inside. We all have hard days, but the setpoint is closer to peace, and the return to inner peace gets faster and easier with time and practice. It’s always hard to watch those we love make their lives harder, but I know from experience the choice has to be their own.
In the Yogic philosophy there are four levels each must pass through: pleasure, accomplishment, service, and being. The first three may take lifetimes, but don’t worry – you’ll be back. When you understand that your being is the entire point, you are finally free to go. I love that. In Rosicrucian philosophy the soul is built by intention and dedication. Lots of free will there.
At some point on the path it does feel like everything is on autopilot. Maybe after so long of choosing “thy will over my will” there is no longer a need for free will. I don’t really have an answer, just lots of questions. The free will debate is a lot like the simulation debate – neither one would change who I am or how I live. Not if I have a choice in the matter…
