The Opportunity to Create by Yourself

546.02Question: The Creator created the creation. How did He plant freewill in us? How can it be activated?

Answer: On the combination of two opposite qualities. In our world, there is only one quality—egoism.

When an altruistic quality begins to develop in a person and it is opposed to the egoistic one in him, then it is between them that the possibility of freewill arises.

This is a difficult state. It appears when a person is able to rise above his ego with the help of the second quality, but there is no preference for one over the other in anything. This is where the opportunity to create by yourself appears.

We can not imagine how it is possible for some intelligent movements to appear from an absolutely empty place over which two forces rule, but absolutely equally. Where do I choose? Either I am rolling the dice, or I am already predisposed to one thing in advance and not to another. It is unclear what is being done here.

But this is absolutely not the case. There is no rolling the dice, there is no chance and there is no decision in advance. We have no way to recreate this structure where two opposing forces collide together and form an empty space in which you are free.

Then what do you even have? Let us say this freedom leads you to the right decision. But how if it is already correct and predetermined?! That is, our brain does not understand this. Our logic does not work here. But there is no deception either or some kind of game with a person.

We will wait. We will get there. We will see. Anyway, no one will be able to describe this condition in advance. It belongs to another degree, to another dimension.

Question: So I really have a feeling that this has never existed and only now is my choice?

Answer: Of course! There are a lot of states that you did not have before, but now you have formed, in general, in spirituality. The Creator created the possibility of such a state, but not the state itself.

Question: Do you have an example from your personal practice when you had such a choice?

Answer: This cannot be explained. This is faith above reason, in general, all sorts of similar phrases that will not give anything.

It is an element that forms the steps leading to the goal of creation. A staircase is built from such small blocks, which we climb.

Question: How can we not miss this freedom of choice?

Answer: There is no way to skip it.

Question: So, will the work with freewill take place only on a spiritual level?

Answer: Yes, otherwise no. There is no second force in corporeality, altruistic, which counteracts egoism, between which you find your freewill.
