This brings up the question....does the universe, higher power, god, or whatever you want to call it, have a will? Many thinkers characterize it as a neutral wish granting machine - which implies the universe, in itself, does not have a will, so trying to follow "god's will" seems pointless. Still confused..... |
"God" only has one will, in my humble opinion, and it is to experience all things. And it does. All things are already created and manifest in the eternal plenum of actuality/potentiality (they are really one and the same you see). But it has no "preferences". One "thing" is just as good as another "thing". We are the portion of god's all knowingness that knows growth. We are ascendant beings because of that. That is how we were created you might say, but then, from the god level, nothing was ever created because everything has always existed. It is we who perceive linear strings of events like "creation" and "destruction".
So god's will is really your will. Whatever makes you the most happy is the closest alignment to god consciousness you can achieve. And the more you hold on to that, the more you feel your connection to the whole of existence. And the more you resist it, the more you feel connected to the "hole" of existence. Focus on the whole and you see the whole, focus on the hole and you see the hole.
It literally is all good to the god consciousness. Its always sending everything out, and it is we, with preferences, that have to tune our dials to the frequency we prefer. So we go through the process of learning how to get what we want, but in the end it doesn't really end up mattering. Eventually, as we become more and more closely aligned with the greater self (god), we realize that it literally is ALL GOOD. And at that point, there is no need to filter what we want from the source because everything is exactly what we want anyhow.
