Secrets from the Ages

Chapter 18

Free Will

This chapter may surprise you. I have left it near the last as you need to understand the preceding data to help you understand this data. It is not difficult. Free Will: The Player, God created himself. Free will cannot exist in a God, or being, or person, who was created by someone other than himself. God cannot endow free will. If God created you, you would be exactly as he created you.

If God created someone with a blank mind and a blank soul and then gave him free will, then that person would have no will to do anything as everything would be blank. But the moment that God gave him a will to do something or want something, it is from God, not from a free will. The moment God gives you a desire, it is from God, not from you. I don't care how magical you want God to be, or how all powerful or how all mighty, I don't care if he created your soul. Whatever God creates is still His Creation. If He made a mistake and didn't create His creation perfect, it is not the creation's fault. It is His fault.

This is one of the reason that religious people so hate logic. The logic of it is, anything is exactly they way God makes it. If he makes you with a sexual desire then you have a sexual desire. If he then says that you must resist that sexual desire and you do not resist the desire, it is because he didn't make you with enough resistance to resist it. It's his fault, not yours. The creator simply cannot make his creations responsible for their imperfections.

The creator is responsible for his creations. That cannot be changed by being all mighty. It's easy to stand up and say God gave us all free will. It's impossible to stand their and say that is logical, thus one then says, "Well, you cannot use logic with God." If you say, "God made me, but he gave me free will," you are really saying, "God made me, then he let me make myself." The problem with that is you will still make yourself the way that God gave you the ability to do it.

In order to have free will at this point, you have to create yourself, because any decision that God makes for you is not free will. Should it be you are not God and God did indeed create you, no matter what you have been taught, you are as God created you. If God created you with desires, it is the desires that He gave you that you have. It isn't likely that you created your own desires, but if you did, it would be only the desires that God gave you the ability to create.

The religious people have been making rash statements for thousands of years expecting everybody to accept each and every point, sometimes even enforcing them at weapon point or torture. Our age is pretty much the first age where they have not been believed unconditionally. "God can do anything therefore he can create you with free will." But the fact is, any kind of logic will show you that you cannot be created with free will. The only way you will ever have free will is if you were created by yourself. If one thing exists then the other exists. If you do not have free will, then you didn't create yourself. But if you do have free will, then you did indeed create yourself.

If the Creator cannot make beings the way He wants them to be, He shoIt was pointed out in an earlier chapter that the creator is responsible to his creations if they are not perfect (like he wants them to be). If his creations are having trouble or pain, it is God's fault for not creating them with the ability to handle such situations. It is never the other way around. The creator is always responsible for his creations. Perhaps the logic is more obvious in the case of a potter making a pot that is less than perfect. He cannot blame the pot for not being perfect. He must accept the responsibility for making the pot less than perfect. It is doubly true should the creator be making a sentient being who can experience pain. God or no God, there is always accountability to such creations.

It's kind of interesting that the Bible contains the anology concerning the pot. It says that the pot does not ask the creator, "Why did you make me this way?" Actually pots cannot talk, but if the pot is not perfect, it still isn't the pots fault. It is the fault of the creator of the pot.

Any logical reasonable would not expect His creations to suffer because of His incomplete work. Free will proves self creation. Each viewpoint of God has free will, because God is fully each viewpoint. Should God as one viewpoint wish to leave this universe he can. When he quits creating himself to be in this universe, he will no longer be here. God can maintain a separate viewpoint as long as he wishes, or he could simply allow the memories of that viewpoint become one with the rest of his memories. As an earlier chapter points out, it is a little more complex than that. But even when you quit this universe, you will still be you. You are God and God created himself. That's not complicated.

Do I guarantee that all this stuff I am telling you is the absolute truth? Good God no. I'm only saying that after thinking about it for 60 years this lifetime, and remembering hundreds of lifetimes in the past of reflecting on this same question, this is the most logical look at God so far. That's my opinion. I hope you can see the logic in it. If you can't, I will not feel slighted if you go else where, or if you go find a cave somewhere and begin to reflect on the question. The logic I give here is far beyond any religion on Earth. I don't feel that I have to protect this data from other people, or be worried that someone else has a better idea. I hope they do.

I do say, however, that the logic given here will serve mankind infinitely better than the religions have done.
