The War Between the Wills

A while back, during one of our Soul’s Journey Into Expression gatherings, an interesting request was made of me.

I said I’d pray on it.

The answer came over night, and I awoke to an interesting and provocative reflection on The War Between Wills…human and Divine.

Since the beginning of time, we’ve struggled and strived to discern the difference between God’s will and human will, fighting wars within our own minds and often each other.

I invite you to give thought to a tug of war happening in your own mind or life right now…one where you wish to choose a course of action that truly is in alignment with a HIGHER WILL for your life, your work in the world, or in relationship to some of your deepest and greatest desires and dreams.

The Dance Between the Human and the Divine

So often the dance between Divine Will and Human Will is what holds us back from experiencing that which is truly meant to be an offering of incredible happiness and fulfillment.

Human will is often tainted by fear, insecurity, unworthiness and impossibility thinking.  And, it is strong and often forceful, but not always aligned with the will of a much HIGHER INTELLIGENCE.

Think about this analogy.

You are on a road trip to a destination not yet traveled and the route is unfamiliar.  At some point, you find yourself feeling lost, wondering if you are traveling in the right direction (sound familiar?). So, feeling less and less confident, and more and more worried that you’ve made a wrong turn or missed an exit, you decide to find a place to pull off and ask for directions.

Ahead of you, you see two signs…one is for a Visitor’s Information Center just half a mile ahead, run by “Fear, Worry, Doubt and Unworthiness” (a.k.a,  what often heads up HUMAN WILL).  It is also the last exit for another 50 miles.

The other sign is for a Visitor’s Information Center 75 miles ahead, run by “Faith, Trust, Surrender, and Wisdom” (a.k.a., DIVINE WILL).

You look at your gas gauge and notice that it appears you are short on fuel (energy) and all of a sudden, your GPS system stops working. Feeling really lost and worried you might run out of gas, the first exit is beginning to look like the better option. So, you pull in and ask for directions.

Fear tells you to back track 30 miles and take a left on Insecurity Road, head down the steep embankment and to be careful not to go over the edge. Worry chimes in and says, “No! That’s dangerous terrain! Take a left on Security Highway and then a right on Illusionary Control Lane. He reminds you that the road signs are changed daily, depending on what is being reported in the daily news, and not to trust anyone but him.

What directions might have you gotten if you had “stayed the course,” drove the 75 miles on a FULL TANK OF SURRENDER, and asked Faith, Trust, Surrender and Wisdom (Divine Will) for directions?

What parts of you would no longer be dictating your final destination?

The Ego Mind vs. Soul

Long ago, I came to the conclusion that many of the spiritual and religious teachings that focused on abolishing or controlling the ego, were way off base, inadvertently causing more division between the parts of us (and our thinking) that we truly want to unify.

Rather than fostering anything that created more “separation and division,” or fragmentation within ourselves, by abolishing or subordinating a part of us that we actually need to live and breathe in the world, my focus became healing, unifying, integrating, and ultimately partnering ego with soul expression.

The brain (the ways the brain works), and consciousness (the thoughts that influence what parts of the brain are activated and working) became a powerful bridge to partnering ego with soul, in ways that are in service to our Divine Plans, rather than where we tend to go when Ego has control of the wheel.

This is the focus of the next Soul’s Journey Into Expression Series at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html)

I see us doing some really amazing work facilitating deeper access into higher levels of consciousness, partnering ego with soul, and opening to Divine Will vs. Human Will to be the directing POWER in our lives and decisions. 

Ultimately, by aligning with this higher will, we become more clear and motivated, organized in both thought and behavior that life begins to organize itself around a whole brain approach – where our right and left brains function and work well together, where inspiration can form into strategy and intuition is easier to act upon and be implemented in ways that feel really, really good.

The result? More clarity and ease, more energy, and a powerful experience of moving out of thought and into action in ways aligned with our Higher Intelligence and the Divine Wisdom that we merely need to become more accessible to.

Join us at www.powerofmyway.com/soulsjourney.html and let’s go on this road trip together! It will be a blast…and although we may not know where will end up, we can trust it will be simply DIVINE!

Your words have blessed me this nnimrog. I was having one of those nnimrogs where it was just blah, and kinda wanted to stay in bed. A few weeks ago my YouTube account was completely deleted because I closed my old G mail account and didn't realize it would delete all my videos attached to that account so I thank you soooo much for your words to me today because they have humbled me and have made me realize that it is not about all the hits/views on the videos but that if it touches even just one person that is all that matters!You are more then welcome, and yes, oh course you may share the video:) much thanks! ~~L

That is exactly where I am. I want to do Spiritual workshops. I have a great knowledge but how do I start. I am a certified addictions counsellor, I have my first, second, third degree Reiki. I have Thetahealing DNA, and Advanced. I also have a collage course in Relaxation Therapy. I have lots of knowledge. I just need to know how to put it all together, to make things happen. I also have my own Mig mag first nation culture. I am stuck. I work with four other addictions counsellors. I feel I am not giving what I was put here to do. I want to work with people who wants to be there for the experience and healing. We live on a little Reservation, our own people will not come to us. I know people out there wants what I can offer. The Question is How do I get there. my soul wants this, my head doesn't know where to start. Thanks Nora
