Earth and Sky

[Scott E]

Hello,

Some questions about the Earth and Sky lesson.

If I am to surrender all of my free will to Goddess, what about me? And who is Goddess anyways without me in the picture? What about my own creative side?

Maybe I don't understand what other people are saying when they talk about free will.

Is surrendering to Goddess just surrendering to the soul? Or is it more than that?

: Hello,
Hello, Scott:

: Some questions about the Earth and Sky lesson.

: If I am to surrender all of my free will to Goddess, what about me?

What about you? The ego idea of individuality, is ilusion. Your genuine individuality, your uniqueness is in your DNA.

Your ego is made of all your fears, and the free will is to choose to love or fear. Choose love. Some free will remains after, but with higher consciousness you can see that a choice to fear is useless and dumb.

Your body has its own fears, but they are more like messages about survival. You may notice you are more fearful when hungry or tired... the body uses fear to motivate you to take care of it and protect its existence... but body fears are not the same as ego fears which are a product of the mind.

: And who is Goddess anyways without me in the picture?

Goddess is all, and you are a part of that. Goddess is your true nature. It is only ego that makes you think there is a separation between Goddess and you.

:What about my own creative side?

Goddess is creativity. She is your creative side, your Muse. Your art is that energy coming through the vessel that is Scott.

: Maybe I don't understand what other people are saying when they talk about free will.

Maybe. Explain what you think it means.

: Is surrendering to Goddess just surrendering to the soul? Or is it more than that?

Hmm, a subtle distinction. Goddess is all, and Nothing.. the void and the illusion of light and existence that it gives birth to.

The soul is a tiny infinite spark of light, and it seems individual because it holds your life path, and it appears we all have one... but really there is only one Soul.

Because it is Light, the soul could be associated with the God energy, but it does not experience separation from All, and it has Divine Will.

 It is a little like the wierd quantum physics theory that there is only one photon and the illusion of time and space makes it appear that there are bizillions of photons in a single sunbeam.

Giving your karma to Goddess gets the ego stuff cleared away so the path of the soul can manifest fully.

Blessings!

Hello,

Just to begin, I have just had some very powerful experiences recently. Experiencing extreme bliss and emotional pain that I have not felt for years (or not acknowledged). The amount of stuff that I was feeling was more than I knew what to do with. Similar to my first conscious experiences with K. Truly, if the ego was dismantled all in one day it would be too traumatizing.

In regards to the original topic:

When I think of free will, I think of it as being how I choose to use my energy. If I choose to surrender, then I consider that to be an act of free will. I don't feel like free will can really be surrendered, just that when I surrender the beacon of light that I act from makes an effort to act in union with the guidance within to deal with a situation. In further introspection, I think this definition may be from the ego, but not very inappropriate for where I am at.

I am delighted and a little surprised to hear your definition, which is to say that free will is the choice between love or fear. This resonates with me.

I feel that this will be clarified as I surrender further though.

Cheers!

Scott
