Good use of free will to build the future

by CR (096)

Spiritual evolution can not only be delayed, but even paralyzed by the indolence, carelessness, indifference or negligence of the human being.

Many times, indifference, lassitude and abandonment of duties that life imposes is often attributed to a supposed predestination or to an unrelenting, cruel fate which many believe it would be useless to fight.

This false way of looking at such serious matters may lead to disastrous consequences. An incarnated spirit have enough power to change the course of life at any time, by proper use of its free will. In the end the spirit is the craftsmen of its happy or unhappy future, of its own success or failure.

The enlightened human being of tomorrow is planned today. In other words, his or her future will be what is being planned and done now.

As there is so much to do, human beings incarnated on this school-world, must always be aware of their duties and should endeavour to use their free will in ways that will safeguard their future and make their journey easier.

Moral pain, if accompanied by disorientation, produces vibrations that can attract and retain harmful influences and fluidic or animistic matter. 

However, as long as the individual has some life experience and understands the associations between body and spirit, without losing sight of the uncertainties and transience of earthly values he will realize the need for immediate reaction to suffering so as not to allow himself to be overwhelmed by it. The same applies to thoughts of weakness that may lead him to physical and spiritual depression which is the cause of so many overwhelming obsessions.
