Awakening to Free Will

What I want to talk with you about today is Free Will and Choice and how these concepts relate to our ‘Spiritual Awakening’.

I imagine a good proportion of people from my generation (for context, I’m in my early 40’s) have experienced some sort of ‘Spiritual Awakening’ by now. By spiritual awakening I mean; that a person has begun to see themselves and the world in a slightly different way.  That some aspects of themselves just don’t seem to fit with the world anymore. Or certain behaviours seem a little off.  Perhaps they are beginning to question universally held beliefs about how things work.

Often times, this spiritual awakening will come in the form of some emotional and “spiritual” revelation.  It usually occurs when the person has an insight that there may be ‘greater powers’ at work but these ‘powers’ are more associated now with a God or external force , if not God then something ethereal.  I am generalizing here but for the purpose of this piece I’m using this as an example. It’s just as likely for someone to see a greater power then themselves and it not relate to religion or something residing within a spiritual realm.

Just as a side note: Spiritual Awakenings are not isolated incidents within a person’s narrative or experience.  They occur often, with varying degrees of intensity, frequency and vibrancy.  They do however seem to change and become a more natural occurence and will also be re-catagorised many times by the mind as well.

So, here is where free will and choice relate to our spiritual awakenings (It may get a little mind bendy now so bear with me).

I have mentioned briefly in my previous post about a 3rd dimensional existence.  It relates to a particular energetic frequency, one in which we are all experiencing now (on some level).  There are a few ideas/beliefs around, about how many dimensional planes or frequencies there are.  The clearest one for me is the explanation of the “7 densities” (Bentinho Massaro, 2015).  This is a perfect model for right now.  It suggests (in its simplest form) that we have evolved through 1st and 2nd densities (dimensions) – these relate to Awareness being All There Is and then into movement and growth relating to atoms, particles etc and then onto solid matter and 3rd dimension of self-awareness and choice.  What is interesting is that self awareness has existed within this frequency to some extent but choice has only been realised fairly recently (in linear temporal terms).

Choice.

We have the power to choose. I’m not taking about what we want for dinner, although that has its relevance within a different context.

We have the power to choose anything we want. We do choose what we want. We have the knowledge and understanding of the full power of that choice.  We feel the echos of our original state of pure awareness.  We feel the calling of our innocence.  We know that we are manifesting masters of our own reality.  We know that we actually have no need of manifesting, because we are; or I Am; and then…. I

It can get a bit confusing because past, present and future all exist simultaneously (and so do all of the densities/dimensions, within this universe along with all the universes, known collectively as “multiverse”)  As we’re here now, in the 3rd dimensional solid frequency we will experience a linear propulsion forwards or upwards (ascension).

 

Ok so that’s the mind bending awesome information exchange done!

Let’s get grounded on planet Earth.  I can offer some ideas about how you can recognise choice differently within your day-to-day goings on.

Find time within your day for quiet. Just 2-5 minutes.  Ideally this would begin on waking, just to check in with yourself. Ideally take this time at intervals throughout the day, basically whenever you get the chance to and have the mind to of course.

A few deep breaths in and out, just to release any tension that might be there.  Make a connection with your heart by placing one or both hands on your heart. When you have a thought pop into your mind, let it move away like a cloud might move across the sun.  If you find yourself attaching to a thought and you’re beginning to make plans etc, take a breath in and move your focus to your heart.

Just 2-5 minutes, a few times a day will help you to move towards knowing what it feels like to be aligned within your heart space.  How quiet it is, how expansive, how loving it is.  Once you’re familiar with this feeling, you will be able to access it much more readily and you can begin to ask yourself questions within that space and then hear the answers!

Choose to include this meditation within your daily routine or daily hectic lifestyle, whichever the case may be.  It’s great practice for anyone who feels a call for re-connection with self and with others.  Begin to make more choices that align with your True self, that is the space of communion that exists within those equisite moments of meditation.  And choose to do more of the things that excite you.

Make a conscious choice towards love and self-care.  Start right away…everything gets easier with practice.  Watch young children learn a new activity – it’s a fantastic reminder of exactly that.

Have fun with this new information and the meditation.  It’s worth checking out Bentinho’s explanation on the 7 densities, you will find him on YouTube.
