Habit vs. Free Will
« on: January 01, 2024, 10:16:39 am »
Good morning All!

 
Good morning TA, Pleiadeans, and all who are interested in the destiny of Urantia:

 
TA: Last night we heard an interview on CNN with an author and professor of a university, and recipient of an award for genius, who spoke at length that our destiny is determined solely by genetics and environment. He denied that free will had anything to do with the outcome of our lives. He said our choices had more to do with our environment and genetics.

 
It sounded to me like the perfect example of how supreme led us into the mess we are in right now.

 
People who think that personal responsibility doesn't exist are duped by the supreme philosophy. The interviewer knew something was not right, but had to shut the interview down due to time.

 

 
The whole issue at stake today with the Master Universe is about the real extent of free will on the part of human destiny. It is our free will that overrides habits of doing and thinking, that determines our responses to everything that happens to us. Genetics and environment do not altogether determine our lives. But it is difficult to quantify free will. It is elusive, and altogether spiritual.

 
We can determine our days, yes, by following our intuition, but intuition needs to be closely examined as to whether it is beneficial to all, and not just ourselves.

 
Our habits of thinking and doing arise as a result of trial and error, and often become obsolete without our knowing. The recent years have brought many changes in social awareness, environmental awareness, education, and many things that aren't taught in schools. Social media often muddies the waters, so that our own free will has to come to the fore to determine the clarity of our vision. Do we fall back into habit? Do we forge a new outlook?

 

 
Can free will override genetics? Free will can create new approaches, and innovative ways to take advantage of genetic difficulties.   It has often been said we create our own reality.  Free will can make adjustments to the perceived environment.  It can turn "can't" into "can".  

 
Our free will needs to be God directed, and used carefully.

 
Thank you TA!
