Your mind and your thoughts are also thoughts of the divine mind. Universal Spirit is in your thoughts and in your free will. Universal Spirit is in your thoughts and in your free will. When you shift your thoughts from Spirit to ego, you seem to lose contact with the power of intention. Your free will can either move with Universal Spirit and its unfolding, or away from it towards ego dominance. As it moves away from Spirit, life appears to be a struggle. Slower energies flow through you, and you may feel hopeless, helpless, and lost. You can use your free will to rejoin higher, faster energies. The truth is that we do not create anything alone; we are all creatures with God. Our free will combines and redistributes what’s already created. You choose! Free will means that you have the choice to connect with Spirit or not.

The answer to the questions, Do I have a free will ? And is intention working with me as an all pervasive universal forces? is yes. Can you like with this paradox? If you think about it, you live with paradox in every moment of your existence. At the exact same instant that you’re a body with beginnings and ends, with boundaries, and a definition in time and space, you’re also an invisible, formless, unlimited, thinking and feeling being. A ghost in the machine, if you will. Which are you? Matter or essence? Physical or metaphysical? Form or spirit? The answer is both, even though they appear to be opposites. Do you have a free will, and are you a part of the destiny of intention? Yes. Fuse the dichotomy. Blend the opposites, and live with both of these beliefs. Begin the process of allowing Spirit to work with you, and link up to the field of intention.
