Chapter 2: Free Will

1God controls. 2Even so, every person has free will: to align himself with the eternities or to disregard them. 3Every soul is at the helm of her own individual and eternal existence.

4Self-will without God-consciousness is inconsequential. 5Unless we surrender our self-will voluntarily to divine purpose, the deep-flowing fulfillment God wishes us to have cannot be accomplished.

6And this is God’s will and law: in the human body, the soul is subordinate to personal free will. 7Free will is a product of the brain. 8Hence there is discord between the exalted intent of the soul and vagaries of thought. N.B. 9Obstacles to the soul's eternal process of refinement—inclinations like misperception and gross egotism—will diminish. Or be abolished.
