Nugget #65 (June 16) – First Triad: “Freewill”
I would like to take a slight diversion to our current topic. In the previous Nugget I mentioned “freewill”. All that has happened in this world, good or bad, is permissible within the realm of our existence. Though, obviously, some of our activities are not preferred and are destructive.
Everything that occurs, as horrible as they are, will ultimately yield good. Take pause and really try to grapple this. This does not mean we are to accept bad behavior and “standby while our bother’s blood is shed” (Leviticus 19:16). We are to toil and fight for justice for all.
As time goes on, we (all of mankind) like children, will receive more and more spankings for our wrong behavior and more benefit for good behavior. Eventually the pain will be so great and moments of peace will be so great between us and our Creator, we will want to stop receiving spankings and seek the Creator’s will (Keter). Through these spankings and blessing, our awareness will increase for the need of correction, and our striving will as well rise to a higher level.
We are part of a closed system that will eventually correct itself. So yes, we do have “freewill”. However, that “freewill” is limited within that closed system to the extent that our options will diminish till we have no choice but to stop our egoistic pursuits and being spanked. Then we will freely receive and abide by the “thought of creation” (Keter).
Ask yourself: What is nature and is this our closed system that will force us to change?
