Thank you for your insights. You are right. Many decisions are based on programming. From a higher point of view these are not decisions at all but are reactions to a decision made by someone else. All motion is the result of some decision somewhere, but where the decision originated is not always obvious.
Did you read those verses in Genesis 3:3-4 & 22? Notice in particular the statement by God:
"Behold, the man is to become as one of us, to know good and evil...."
Let us alter this slightly to:
"Behold, the man is to become as one of us, having the power to DECIDE what is good and what is evil."
Decision is the power of the Gods, but if this is hidden from us and we don't think we have permission to decide then the power that is in us is hidden by illusion. If our power is hidden, then the Antichrist powers make all important decisions for us.
You may find it of interest that the judges in the Old Testament were called Gods by Moses. Moses was also called a God. In most cases this is mistranslated in today's Bibles, but it is in black-and-white in the Hebrew. Those who made decisions and assumed power to do so had the power of the Gods, so they were called Gods.
Decision is the key to the door that opens to all worlds -- even immortality.
Contemplate the part of you where the power of decision originates and you can feel that link between you and God. It uses your bodies but it is not your bodies.
After you were curious about what your messages were and then you felt a need to turn on the computer you did one more thing before you turned the computer on. You have to do this one thing before you have an action of any kind.
Thanks for your comments on the Keys. You are feeling the way a seeker is supposed to feel. I might add to that your words seem much more mature than they used to. I keep wondering if you are the same person who wrote the first communications I have.
You say: "There's nothing more frightening than watching your contemporaries look aghast at you!"
That will soon change. For me there is nothing more stimulating than watching my contemporaries look aghast at me. It is usually an indication that I am doing something right.
Do not worry about being alone. The closer you get to the Spirit the less you will feel alone. You will eventually connect up with a group mind and loneliness will be almost impossible.
Impatience is good if you channel it correctly. If you do it will enable you to accomplish more as long as you do not skip the essentials.
You ask a good question:
"Is ultimate righteousness repression or expression of the lower?"
I'll give you my answer. The lower passions are a part of ourselves as well as the higher. They should never be suppressed or denied, but should be directed to full, but harmless, expression under the guidance of the higher self.
I hope you read the verses in Genesis I quoted. They hint at a great truth. The full power to decide good and evil -- and other things will make you as the gods. In fact the word "Eloheim" that is translated God in the Bible is actually plural in the Hebrew. That's why the Eloheim said "Let US create man..." and "The man is to become as one of US."
A God among the ancients was one who realized his oneness with The One Great Life.
Letting God come into your life and make decisions for you is a step above not recognizing a divine power. All the Fundamental Christians use this process and it is helpful.
But the much greater realization is realizing your oneness with God and when you merge your consciousness with that of the Spirit then your decisions are divine.
The key is to separate yourself from the illusion that you (generic you) are the decision maker when in reality you may be just following some real decision maker. Few people make decisions that really shape their destiny. Instead they are waiting for either signs from God or someone with authority to tell them what to do.
Perhaps the greatest hint for the full realization of this key is the words of God to Moses when Moses asked God who he was. He said:
"I am becoming that which I DECIDE to become."
In other words God would not tell Moses who he was because he is in the constant activity of deciding who he is and tomorrow he will be different than he is today. That is why the revelation of God and the Masters of the race is different in each age. That is why the scriptures say "Behold I make all things NEW."
The greater the life, the greater the power of decision and the more lives that decision will affect.
Tell me what you think of these thoughts.
Also, Give me an example of a true decision that uses the God power within you and then give me an example an illusionary decision. That is a decision that one thinks is his own, but really belongs to someone else.
