FREE WILL
INDEPENDENCE DAY
It is obvious that
the future is unavoidable. However future is not a place in time. It is a place
in Consciousness. While having been existing as humans for some 17 million
years, Humanity, the 4th Kingdom (the mineral, plant, and animal Kingdoms
being its earlier arrivals on this planet) has made painfully slow progress in
terms of moving in to our future or evolving from the mass consciousness of the
animal Kingdom through the essential of selfconsciousness into the group
consciousness of the Human Kingdom.
It is quite obvious that
human beings are selfconscious, that we see our individual selves as separate
from every other individual human. It also clear that we have what we call a
free will. We can choose to do what we want to do. These two facts alone discriminate
the Human Being from the Animal Kingdom.
As for the rest, one
could say that for eons now humans have been animals with selfconsciousness. We
have animal bodies. We reproduce new animal bodies or children through a sexual
process. Most of our systems of organization resemble the same systems that
animals unconsciously use. We are “territorial” in that we see anything as our
private property from simple items of personal use to other Human Beings and huge
nations. We see those humans with the most property as the most powerful and
therefore superior to humans who have less or nothing. These and many other
factors are aspects of animal consciousness.
The Lion was the “King
of the Jungle”, because it was the most powerful.
The move from mass
to selfconsciousness was super major. It took a very long time in the making.
But what has hung us up is our inability, or just plain refusal, to evolve our separative
selfconscious selves from those many aspects of our animal consciousness into
our true Human consciousness, or what we call Group Consciousness. This is, of
course, what the Path out of the Darkness and Ignorance and Into the Light of
Reality is all about.
It is also obvious
that that energy follows thought, and that what we think determines what we do
and what is going to happen in the next few seconds, minutes, hours, days,
weeks, months, years…. You get the drift.
Because of the
literally outrageous attacks on the Principles of our Democracy which we have
been witnessing over these past 6 years, we are being presented with amazing
opportunities to demonstrate our Humanity by serving the Common Good and
General Welfare. It isn’t like we have to join the army or go “overseas” to
fight. This war is in our faces.
Make no mistake, it
is a war in most aspects of that thoughtform. Besides the numerous and growing
number of actual dense physical human causalities, we have the serious
destruction or dismantling of many of our group conscious or democratic
institutions such as the educational system, and the right to vote.
It is this last
point, the innate right to vote, or to choose our Government, perhaps the most
significant aspect of the entire concept of “Democracy” or group conscious
government, that is under sever attack. Free choice is the bed rock of our
evolution and was the driving principle of our 1776 revolution.
Voting is unavoidable. We vote with every thought. We make life
altering decisions every time we act or do not act. We when we breathe, when we beat our hearts,
we vote.
We cannot be forced
to choose anything. But we can choose to delay or put off the evolution of
Democracy into greater and greater manifestations of Life, Liberty, and Justice
for All for another couple of thousand years by choosing to vote for stagnation
and the programs of retrogression. Or, we can choose to “Build a Lighted House,
and there in dwell”.
There is no “refusing”
to vote. Not voting because one’s favorite thing is currently not achievable is
simply juvenile ignorance and actually a vote for the Retrogressors.
There is nothing much
to say to the walking dead who simply ignore voting
