The Devil Phenomenon
Real Freedom
The type of freedom, the real freedom, we never discuss in our society today is freedom of having no choice. Having no choice is the only freedom we all can have. Every other freedom that is thrown at us in it’s place is no freedom at all. The only freedom we can have is to follow GOD.
Leaving the decision to GOD and trusting in GOD’S decision is what freedom is. Walking down a road ultimately you come to where it forks. Left or right? If I make a left I can see such and such might happen, if right I can see such and such happen. I can’t see everything. I can’t see that far. How do I follow GOD’S decision? The ONE who knows best. That is freedom. It doesn’t matter which decision is made. Just make the choice which feels good. GOD speaks to us among other ways through our heart. That feeling we have inside of us that makes us feel that this is the right decision is a way of GOD talking to us.
The Soul inside of man wants to do what GOD want’s it to do whatever that may be. And, in wanting to do what GOD wants it to do our Soul is at peace. When deciding on a route to take, two things talk, the Soul and the illusory ego. The Soul is created by our LORD. It follows the LORD intrinsically not as something that is expected of you by society. You must go to church and such. It doesn’t follow the LORD out of obligation or fear that something bad will happen to it. No, it follows GOD because simply and absolutely the Soul loves GOD. It might be likened to a man following the woman he loves simply because he is madly in love with her and he will do whatever she asks. History is replete with such incidences. So, simply, when the Soul feels at peace or good it is following GOD’S Will. However, when it does not follow it does not feel at peace. This is why it is said that my conscience is bothering me. We, as a Soul, are not content with what we are doing, have done, or are about to do because it is not what GOD wants, the ego-self is in control. The Soul as stated before knows this intrinsically. Through and through. It’s eye is always on what GOD Will’s.
The ego-self believing it has freedom to choose is illusory because the Soul in a man has it’s eye to the LORD’S plan. It always pull’s the ego into making mistakes, tripping over itself, like a dog on a leash and that dog cannot move any further in the direction of it’s will. Sometimes, and now in today’s world very often, the ego pulls the Soul in the direction it wants because the Soul ‘s voice is drowned out. It can no longer hold the leash because the ego has been fed too much and it has grown. It want’s money and power and sex for it’s self. It follows none but the society and that society is run by the Devil Phenomenon. It is clearly evident that rebellion against GOD and work for the ego-self is the force driving our societies. All of them. Even the monasteries in Tibet are societies built by the ego-self. The thought that one can do something on their own to reach towards GOD or be like GOD or be one with GOD etc.. even those ideals are ideals for the ego. Salvation for the ego-self. If I do this or if I do that I will get closer to GOD or reach NIRVANA, whatever term it is given.
It is high time we start to listen to our hearts and do what will give us a clear, clean, conscience. This is why sometimes people throw themselves off bridges or what not. It is because they, their Soul, cannot live with their sinful ego-selves anymore. Their conscience is ripe with grief. The Soul is tortured because it is not free to follow the LORD.
There is a way for the Soul to regain it’s hold on the ego-self. And that is through discrimination, through understanding , and through awareness of our individual will. Sin is following your will, rebelling against GOD’S Will. Redemption is being aware of this and to begin following your heart, the heart of the Soul, which want’s to do it’s part in following GOD.
To follow GOD is freedom and that means having no choice. To follow our selves or anything else gives us choice because we have to make the decisions and our decision is slavery. Choice is slavery. To have a choice means two or more and the only perfection is ONE. To have a choice means dependence on self and self independence is ego-self dependence and that is slavery of the Soul. But, GOD dependence is Soul depending on GOD and dependence on GOD is infallible and that is freedom. The freedom to not have to make any choices. For the Soul there is no choice, it must follow GOD. The Soul’s freedom is the freedom to follow the LORD and that involves no choice and that is true freedom. Freedom is the Soul’s freedom to follow GOD’S Will and following GOD’S Will is the freedom to be who you are. Not what society tells you you are or what you must be or must do but who you are in you very Soul. The installation of the ego-self by society is the chain and ball put onto the Soul thereby taking away it’s freedom. That is the true freedom and the other is the true slavery.
