Without Disclosing My True Identity
means to do so. No matter how hard we try, no matter how great our hopes, no matter how
grandiose our ideals, none of us has the power to change the effects of our natural, mortal
(“fallen”) state. It was never intended for us to change it.
With Human Free Will Comes Responsibility
As mortals, we are partaking of the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil,” which
was planted and cultivated, not by us, but by those who created us. However, because we
are human beings—the greatest and most significant life forms in the Universe—we have
free will. This “free agency” is the ability to act independently of all other life forms, and
also independent of the laws of nature that support all life throughout the Universe. Acting
contrary to the laws of nature may bring about our physical death, but we have the power
within us to choose how to live or to die if we want to. (Consider the symbolism of Adam
and Eve being told by God, “the day that thou eatest of the Tree of knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt surely die.”^59 )
We have the power and the ability to do what we want in spite of what consequence
our actions will have on other forms of life or on the natural environment. We are the only life
form that has this free will. All other life forms exist in a symbiotic relationship with their
environment that they cannot consciously choose to change. However, the companion of free
will is responsibility. Ultimately (after this period of mortality), part of this responsibility is
that we will limit our actions to those endeavors that are consistent with our humanity type
and which enhance our existence and support the natural laws of the Universe. Before that
day comes, however, we have the agency and choice to limit these actions or not while in
mortality—it is our call—and while mortal, there is no one that limits or restricts our actions.
There is nobody that is going to stop us from choosing an action that impairs our existence.
We also exist to experience joy.^60 Anything we choose to do that diminishes our joy
(causing us misery) takes away from the ultimate reason for which we exist. As free-willed
human beings, nothing is more irritating to our existence than being told what to do with
our free will. Having someone tell us what to do antagonizes us because we know that we
have the power to do what we want, in spite of what another tells us to do. As long as we
exist as unrestricted free-willed entities in a pre-resurrected state, while at the same time
being of the ego that we are the highest form of life in the Universe, we will always be
annoyed at someone telling us how to use our free will.
We are learning, however, through our experience in mortality, that unless someone
intervenes and restricts or limits free will, humans will choose to do things that cause misery to
others. As mortals, we enact laws, elect officials, appoint judges, and hire soldiers and law
enforcement officials to curtail free will, ostensibly, so that we can exist in joy. The problem is
that the laws, officials, judges, soldiers, and law enforcement officers are not creating universal
and worldwide joy. They might create joy for a few people; but overall, they are failing to
provide all human beings with an equal experience of joy. Thus, our experience upon this earth
is a miserable one, and will continue to be, unless we find a way to curtail free will properly and
equitably for the benefit of everyone.
Trying to Supersede the Need for a Christ
There are many among us who think they have the wherewithal to do what it takes
to limit free will equitably; this they think in their abject arrogance. No matter how hard any
