WHY LAZARUS LAUGHED : 67




Free-will...7


Objects can have no 'free-will': they can have no 'will' of any kind, for they are only an aspect of subject, but the energy which constitutes their appearance may be misapplied and be expended ineffectually and in opposition to the inevitable sequence of events in time and space. This inconsequent struggling may be misconstrued as 'will'.

Subject, as pure reality, is free from constraint, but as one element of a dualism it is conditioned by the other element thereof, which is its object. Dualistically, therefore, it is not 'free'.

There is no 'free-will' in duality.

There is no 'predestination' in reality.

When you manifest what is known as a 'will' you are thereby identified with your object.

Can any distinction be made between the figment that is called a 'will' and the figment that is called an 'ego'?
