The free will and the divine will

On April 10th, journalist Henk Muller had an interview in the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant with Herman de Regt, associate professor of philosophy of science at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. The Regt does not believe in the free will and therefore would like to have a different legal system. According to him, the free will is an illusion based on scientific knowledge, because all consequences have a cause. He argues that causes and effects form a long chain, which dates back so to speak to the big bang. Someone who commits a murder right now, is not guilty, but simply stands at the end of such a chain, of which he had nothing further to say.

What about karma and taking our own responsibility? And being a personality (our lower self), soul (our higher self) and spirit (our highest self, connected to Spirit) at the same time? Aren't we simultaneously actors in the drama that's called life as well as the stage-managers?

What light shines the Aquarian Mysticism upon this?

In the copybook CA03 Vrijheid (Freedom) (2003) the Dutch mystic Sonia Bos describes why we humans have a free will. In the chapter Living from the free will, she says, among other things: "Every person has a unique own free will.

Each individual would be different. Why? Since in each fiber of life, man as an evolving principle, should accompany his evolutionary life on his own unique way. Every free will is connected to a particle of the pure, original divine consciousness. The divine consciousness has a high awareness, a less high awareness and a lower awareness - there is consciousness at different levels. Therefore, individuals had to come, who would have affinity with different levels of consciousness. When the involution would be over, the human being with his special consciousness would be able to touch all different levels of life. But first he had to dare to bring out his own unique staining into the material world.

The indwelling of the Universal Love

It is very essential that the negative side of the free will does a step aside and that you clear your essence from all kinds of duty. Only then you can find your destination and learn to design this entirely towards your own individuality. Then you will realize that you are a unique being, and that you may be who you are. You may feel love for yourself and leave behind all that curbs your individuality and takes you to obligatories, which binds you to dogma and all sorts of rules, including the Constitution, under which you sigh. It's up to you. You can turn inward and from love recognize the codes in yourself, so that love can descend in the free will.

The free will has the task to recognize the Universal Love in man and to absorb this in himself. This is the task of the free will and man may do so in his own unique way. He liberates himself to recognize the Divine Flame and shape this in his own unique way. The Free will is therein the carrying capacity and the guarantee that there will be billions of people in the world who will make life complete." …..

The surrender to the divine will

Question: How can I make sure that I 'm the boss in my life? Can I therefore use my free will?

Sonia : "No and Yes. No, the free will is not strong enough to hold back the divine course of life. And Yes, the free will can ask the divine will in you to bring a halt to the whirlwind of life. From the free will, you can invoke the Source of Life to put the creative power to work on behalf of you, to be able to transform or transmute the onrushing karma which makes you ill and brings all kinds of misery on your path. This allows you to neutralize all kinds of impossible situations in your life or even create entirely new life situations. The free will by itself is not strong enough, but if the free will yields to the divine will in you, the Source of Life in you, then you can put the power of creation to work at three levels. Then you can convert, that what you do not want, what does not suit you, you no longer choose; through the divine will in yourself, making use of the creative force.

In the Aquarian Mysticism is always pointed out, that out of free will a person may choose to put the creative force to work, the Universal Christ within himself, the Source of Life in himself – you may specify this to your own liking – to bring to a halt that, which youno longer choose in life. This allows a lot of karma-related issues to resolve themselves. Man can say 'no' to karma from his own free will. From your free will, you can choose the higher, to put the divine will in you to work – the Universal Christ, who holds this in you – to reverse everything towards love in your life that is unexposed by love." 

Much more information about the free will from a mystical point of view can be found in the above mentioned copybook, like Moving along with the downward or upward spiral; The importance of the free will; Working on karma; The use of the free will; Choosing from your free will to illuminate the dark side; The importance of the decisiveness; Transcending the free will; The purge of free will on three levels.

During the seminar Zelfrespect,heling van je eigenwaarde (Self-respect, healing of your self-esteem; there is a MP3 Dutch version) (2008) Sonia Bos talks about the reversal of the ego and the free will that is going to flow equally with the divine will:

"The ego of man

I feel a reluctance to go on and realize suddenly why I feel that hesitation. The next part is about how important I still think about my ego, my true free will that was my heritage. That is going to change now.

The many desires of the ego

Until today (2008), the greatest divine heritage of mankind was his free will, his ego. That gave him the right of decision; that gave him self-esteem in which he could feel: I'm a man, I am an individual, I have power, I can say: "Up till here and no further; I want this and I 'm going to do that; I make my plans." I , I , I , I . And oh, how desperately we have needed that I. It was the driving force for the evolution which focused on the solar plexus, to which the ego is attached. But the driving force of evolution is no longer focused on the solar plexus, but on the heart and the throat to bring the Spirit forward now.

As long as we thus continue to identify with our ego desires, with the: I want and I 'm worth it and I want to be heard now and I want to count in and now I want this, now I want that, then you will continue to keep incredibly busy. Because you know, the ego remains stuck in that desire and lust, in that physical race for more and more. The ego is the entrance to the material race of more and more, the dominance of matter affects you. If only the ego could be reduced a little bit to a normal sense of self, of I-awareness.

There will always abide a self-awareness in you; that is part of your being, but the pressure out there right now, will vanish. Just look around you and see how hard people work. Families who are working so hard to prove themselves materially in matter, to be confirmed, to encapsulate. First, the house must be in order, then there is a holiday coming up, and yes, the children should also go to judo, karate, piano lessons, and so on.

That all comes from the ego, the family ego, the whole ego occurrence of man. It would be good if ever there would be reflection whether this all is really worth it. Since the driving force of the ego has not yet withdrawn, we go too fast through that ego.

The good aspects of the ego

The ego had to come to power, thus we could exist as individuals in life; we could feel our individuality, protect, respect and love it. These are all incredibly good aspects, which need not to be withdrawn.

You may feel love for yourself; you should protect yourself and give yourself a place in the world. You may feel yourself being human, you may participate, take your place, to be able to move amongst the people and bring God’s Spirit everywhere. Those are the good aspects of the ego.

Rollback too much ego

From the ego which is strong enough at this moment, the gear wheel should be restituted now, because we become too strong; everyone shouts himself down. Everyone wants stronger stimulants; just think of the movies, how harsh they are. Everything is increasing. One wants more and more; one wants stronger stimulants, more intense sex and more sex, more clothes, a bigger car, a bigger house and so on.

We need to get rid of the excess. The evolution force, that in previous eras is put on the ego, to ensure that humans would find themselves as individuals and would learn to respect themselves, must be withdrawn. We have now found our being human; we have established our individuality. We may now find our consciousness and the spirit within us, our higher being, in our godhood. But that ego just keeps screaming and wants but more.

Give the Spirit its place

If you want to find your deepest self-esteem, it is worth to realize that you should give yourself not just a place here on earth and that you should allow yourself to grant your own individuality, but you do also need to be connecting yourself with the highest, deepest, divine value of your mind. Only then you will really get the most out of yourself.

You already got the most out of yourself in matter, but now the godhood in you also wants to take his place."

More about the new spot of the ego and personality control you will find in this lecture about Self-respect. (to be translated by Google)

The lecture D80 Enlightenment (2008) contains the following: "The godhood in man

In the era of the lower being, we were the earth man with a sevenfold consciousness. When we turned inward, the earth man said: "Hello, here I am, make sure you involute, though. That you build a good spot in the material world". But the Creator has taken a big scissors and said: “Earth man, it's been fine with you". That was on May 24, 2008 in Belgium. At that time the cosmic man in us was pushed forward, the man who not only has a thirteen-fold consciousness, but who is also God.

In the years behind us, the godhood in man has fully developed. Now we are the cosmic human and we have a thirteen-fold divine consciousness. And the Creator said, "So, if you turneth inward now, you will find the Cosmic man in you and no longer your Earth human." Then the cosmic man immediately said: "You are God. Of course, you're also human, but you're God now and your godhood is the most important thing right now."

You will hardly want to believe this, but it is a fact that on September 27 of the year 2008, during the seminar Self-respect, I was allowed to inform you − and we have also worked on this at that time − that the free will of man, I mean the earth humans,  is not a divine heritage anymore, but that from that moment on the divine will of man has become his divine heritage. When you turn inward, the cosmic man comes forward and says: "You are God, and the divine will in you talks to you now."

The divine will in us is prioritized

Three quarters of the free will is already withdrawn. Of course, you still have a part left in order to be able to choose and give direction to your life. But that huge brawler like: I need to be in the material world, I need to fix me, I, I, I, I was only functional during the involution."

In the book Op weg naar verlichting, het pad van verlichting van de mens in eennieuwe tijd (En route to enlightenment, The path of enlightenment of man in modern times), you will find both above mentioned readings, along with the lecture Leren leven in overgave (Learning to live in surrender).

The free will on the shovel (to build the new Earth)

On November 17 there was an article in the Dutch newspaper 'De Volkskrant' about philosopher Daniel Dennett. Scientists and thinkers are sometimes diametrically opposed to each other in terms of ideas. In this case, neurologist Prof. Dick Swaab would argue that our free will is an illusion. Daniel Dennett sees this as a fallacy.

I have once again searched into the available lectures of Sonia Bos, mystic and spokeswoman for the Aquarian Mysticism, what is said about our free will. This subject comes up time and again in many writings. And over the years, we can see that an evolution in free will has occurred:

The Aquarian Mysticism teaches us in 1993 through the lecture De kosmische opdracht van mens en aarde (The cosmic command of man and earth)

"The preservation of life guaranteed

The ultimate cosmic task of man is, to radiate from free will, from the inside the entire cosmic system of which he is part, with light. Everything in this system can then be brought to the horizon from the inside and be focused on the infinite light. In this way the preservation of all life in matter, in the system of life in which we stand, is  guaranteed.

Free will and cosmic mission

Man can only voluntarily enter his cosmic mission. At the time that enough people do this, they attract with such force the light inwards that also the rest of the people - those who kill, rob, plunder, rape – go along. From the inside, man, this is the only way out of your misery."

From: De genezer in het Aquariustijdperk, Universeel genezen, (The healer in the Aquarian Age, Universal healing), 1995

“The free will of man

Question: What happens in this whole process with the free will of man? Free will ultimately belongs to the ego. Should this be put in the trash? Is the free will at some point also transformed?
Sonia: "It has always been the intention of the Creator that man would freely choose for his higher will, the will of the Source of Life within himself. Only from free will, man is called to explore the higher. This creation was created to create conscious life. Life can only be aware when there is a free will, an ego, a personality, a vehicle."

From copy book 6: De mens door de eeuwen heen op zoek,  (Man searching through the ages), 1999

"The complete Pisces Era (0 to 2000) was marked by awareness of the individuality, the ego and the free will. Man was raised this way. Up to the year 2000, the laws of cause and effect settled life. The Ark of the Covenant is based on this. The ego had to learn to listen to the laws of cause and effect and learn to act purely. It was distinguishing love, to be able to come to the love that will be released in the Aquarian Age (2000 - 4000)."

From: Eenzaamheid, het verbroken geluk, (Loneliness, the lost happiness), 2004

Choosing for change

But you should also want this and that I cannot do it for you, that's entirely up to you. For man has a free will and that will not be crossed by the Divinity.

So, where previously the free will was the divine heritage, Sonia on 27 September 2008 during the lecture  Zelfrespect, heling van je eigenwaarde (Self-respect, healing your self-esteem) has passed the following value:

"The ego of man

I feel a hesitation to continue and suddenly realize why I feel hesitation. The next part is about how important I still think my ego is; my true free will which was my heritage. That's going to change now.

The many demands of the ego

Until today, the most divine heritage for humans was his free will, his ego. That gave him the right to decide, that gave him self-esteem and he could feel this: I'm a man, I am an individual, I have power, I can say: "Until here and no further, this is what I want and that’s what I’ll do: I make my plans." I, ME, Myself, I. And oh, how desperately we needed that "I" before. It was the driving force for the evolution that focused on the solar plexus, to which the ego is linked. But the driving force of evolution is no longer focused on the solar plexus, but on the heart and throat to put the Spirit forward now."

On October 18, 2008 in Leren leven in overgave (Learning to live in surrender) Sonia reveals:

"The God in man is revealed

What does the new Spirit of God bring us? The new Spirit of God says: "In the involution I've switched on your awareness path. You could be an individual. You could feel that you are human and you could shape being a human in the substance and become a strong individual: I am me, I'm human, I was born as a man, as an individual.” The New Spirit of God now says: "I call on you no longer as a human being, I appeal now to your godhood; because in the years between 1985 and 2008 I have fully converted your inner structure as humans. The God in you is revealed. You are now both man and you are God. You can now choose whether you continue to function as a person or intend to operate as a God."

You have the choice between your free will and your divine will. But the new Spirit of God says: "I no longer urge you to your free will, because your free will is for me no more the highest good. I approach to your divine will. I speak to you in your godhood; I speak to you in your soul."

On November 1, 2008 Sonia gives her last lecture: Verlichting (Enlightenment)

"The godhood in man

You will hardly believe this, but it is a fact that on 27 September of this year, during the seminar Zelfrespect, heling van je eigenwaarde (Self-respect, healing your self-esteem) I could report you - and we have then also worked on it - that the free will of man, that is to say of Earth humans, is no more divine heritage, but that from now on the divine will of man has become his divine heritage. When you turn inward, the cosmic man comes forward and says: "You are God and the divine will in you now speaks to you.

The divine will in us takes precedence

Already three quarters of the free will is currently withdrawn. Of course, you still need a part to be able to choose and give your life direction. But that huge screamer that says: I need to be in matter, I must acknowledge myself, I, I, I, I was only functional during involution. While we now go back to the Source and as a cosmic human we may accomplish high universal tasks, it is extremely important that the divine will in us directly announces itself and that the loudmouth, the free will of the ego, is tempered for a while. For a while? Is tempered for good! Now, says the divine will: "Hello, you're God, you're human, we are going to live from the higher; we will build a new world, do you hear that?"

"Oh, but the material world is still so much fun, I don’t feel like it yet and my bed is so good..."

The new world comes into view

Do you remember when we used to take the first steps on our awareness path and dreamt about spiritual fulfillment? Now the cosmic human is pushed forward and we must accomplish tasks. But that is easier now because the free will was partially sent back and that's a grace. I still had to go all the way with the free will and that incredible personality control which I could not let go.

That has just about five weeks ago been sent back. The personality control is no longer important; the Spirit is now the great control in humans. But those who are enlightened and those who are on their way to enlightenment, had to do it with their personality control on their shoulders and with the free will as divine heritage. From now on it can therefore only become lighter. The family auras and extended family auras are withdrawn, so you get less condemnation. Also in the religion auras and culture auras a huge change is about to take place, because now the vanguard of humanity altogether stands as an avatar, as Morning Star, the divine breath can build the new world. You can already see it happen and it's great. Soon with the Christmas outpouring (2008), this divine breath goes around the world, and you'll see what accelerations are coming on this beautiful path to enlightenment, and how much lighter the road has become by the incredible creations we lately have given.

I welcome you on your path to enlightenment."

The above three lectures are included in the book Op weg naar verlichting, Het pad van verlichting van de mens in een nieuwe tijd (En route to enlightenment, the path of enlightenment of man in a new era.)

At one point Dennett agrees with Swaab: there is no soul.
