Right use of Will

This is one of my favorite subjects. As I was born and raised in a very strict and narrow minded religion, I learned how to follow the greater will. What I have learned since is a culmination of studying other peoples work, and delving deep into my own souls work. In searching for my purpose and the way out of my own darkness, I was given the following principle.

God gave us free will so that we could use it ourselves, not give it to someone else. We have all come from the same source, and all are one. A part of the source has to have the same qualities as the source. If you take a cup of water from the ocean, it remains the same no matter how far away from the source you take it. You cannot turn it into something else. You may alter its appearance or add other elements to it, but structurally and energetically it remains part of the Ocean. We are the same, part of our source, unchangeable in our essence.


As a child and throughout my life, I have been taught as many of you have been, to surrender to “GODS” will, as if using my own will was too dangerous, or harmful. To think that you or I could use our minds to create was ludicrous. I was taught that if I used my will I would only use it to “SIN”. The potential for harm was enormous, so I learned to keep my will in check and just give it to GOD. I tried that for years, without much success. No matter how much I prayed “Thy Will” be done, the bills were not being paid, I could not find a job, my family suffered, my relationships failed, and my heart was hurting. Nothing worked very well for very long.

Finally I prayed for wisdom and understanding, the best thing I have ever done in my Spiritual life. From that prayer came this…

God gave us free will to use, he created us to experience life, and he made us each unique so that we could create from that place of Joy and happiness within our own souls. He could have just as easily created us like all the other animals, but he gave us free will.

This is the principle – we use our free will to hold our desires and thoughts on the things we wish to have and create in our lives. We combine them with our emotions, using our imagination, the vessel in now complete, the seed has been formed. Now if that was where it ended nothing in this world could be changed or created, as we have very limited powers of creation. Yes we can paint a picture, or build a house, but we can’t create a flower, or find the right people to assist us on our journey in a timely fashion.

The next step is where the Magic happens…we give all of our desire, we offer the vessel we have created, to the One (God, the Universe or whatever your comfortable with) who has all of the power, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. Now here is where you surrender! The surrender is still there it simply is in a different place in the equation. As you surrender your desire to this greater power, who is one and all there is, who created the universes, and has the ability to bring anything you desire to you, that power and force begins to fill your vessel. Part of the surrender means that we have to let go of how and when it happens. This is where we often fail; I know I have many times.


To accept and use this new power, you have to understand several things.

Your job is to have the desire and emotional energy connected to what you want.

You have to commit 100% to having what you want and you cannot let anyone or anything prevent you from having it. (Remembering to harm no one).

Your desire has to be in alignment with Divine principle, (trying to create a harmful situation for someone else will have disastrous results, mostly for you), so using the process correctly means that you have to be in harmony with Source, your desire has a positive outcome. .

As I mentioned before God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. This means he is everywhere, and all powerful. He is the space and silence between all things. The creative force that is all around you waiting for you to send your desires to him. If you watched the “Secret” movie, this is what they were talking about.

You have to surrender your desire to that Power, and let it be. This is where the Sages of time, have all been in agreement, “DO NOTHING”. It’s not that we don’t have desires or thoughts, its what we do with the thoughts after we have them.

Since we don’t have the resources or the power to affect the entire universe on our own, as we tap into the Universal power by surrendering our desire to God’s will, he then can use his superior knowledge, power and connections to give you want you are asking for -hence, BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

It is from that place of power that intuition, inspiration and creative ideas are born. As you connect and allow the energy to begin filling your vessel of desire and you follow what you are guided to do, the magnificence of your power becomes real and apparent. Miracles begin to happen.

I see it like this, a flower simply holds its divine desire to be that flower, it in and of itself, it has no power, only desire. The Universal energy (GOD) pours the spirit into the flower and before long we see the beautiful flower appear. This is why it states in the Scripture – consider the Lily of the field, they neither spin nor toil, yet Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed as one of these.

When we become like children (with our desires), and allow the Greatest force that ever was, (which has promised all things are possible to him who believes) to bring it into manifestation, we no longer have to Fear anything. This is place where Christ spoke from when he said “My father and I are one.” And “it is not I that doeth the work but my Father”. We have the same opportunity to utilize the same energy and power. It is up to you to access it.
