The Second Era

This life is always a balance of paradoxical states. At least it is once you are able to reliably think from non-polarized axioms (which honestly is an ongoing practice whilst living as a human.) This wisdom is reflected in many philosophies, but the one of my favorite phrases is: "in but not of." You know ... by that Jesus guy.

You must have total confidence, while dealing with your appearances of doubt. This is not simply about having a goal or picture of a future state and seeing that it is not the current state. This is not about filling in the gaps from "here" to "there." This is about knowing with absolute confidence that the end state is "decided" and having the mindset that allows you to "surrender to the process" that bridges these worlds.

This is living your life with a kind of broadened detachment, allowing your experience to flow in & out of you without fighting it. The better you are able to do this, the more coherence -- sovereignty -- you have with yourself.

As sovereignty rises, fixation decreases. As fixation decreases, linearity decreases (time doesn't need to follow itself.) The world does strange things. Miracles happen. This isn't just an omission of memory, like forgetting you put $20 in an old jacket to find it years later.

No ...

It is stumbling upon the thing when you need it when it aligns with your will in a confluence. It is having a $20 meal, forgetting your wallet and finding a $20 bill in the jacket. The jacket you just bought from a thrift shop the other day when you didn't even want to go.

The more sovereignty you have, the more reality just manifests to support your will.

Let us define the Buffer yet again in another way: The Buffer is a lack of confidence -- doubt. The Buffer = suffering, so doubt could be said to be the source of all suffering.

Suffering can be measured as incoherence, as a distance from God -- a "divide" within yourself. This divide can be

When people hear "will" they often believe it is synonymous with "willpower" and this couldn't be farther from the truth.

What is willpower?

Willpower represents a state of distrust, or rejection -- it is the tantrum a child throws after they cause their own problem. Willpower is the attempt to "resolve" a problem you have created via prior choices.

You are tempted to use willpower when you encounter a situation in life that is displeasing, uncomfortable or outright painful. You think willpower is a quick fix that will put you back on course if you can just "power through." Or perhaps you use willpower because you have convinced yourself you "have to" otherwise your life will implode.

There is never a case when you should be using "willpower" to solve your problems. Willpower is like adding fuel to a fire. This is like drinking more to overcome a hangover.

You are resisting a state that has come to pass because of your own choices and willpower sounds like an enticing way to dig yourself out of a hole.

It will never change until you do. It will keep repeating. Forever. Because you create your own "state of the universe."

Whenever you think that willpower is a good idea -- stop. Your life should be an effortless flow of will -- DECISION -- one to the next without interruption. A hiccup or a block represents a conflict within yourself, like rocks in a stream and should be an immediate indication to set aside time to do some inner-work.

There is something within that keeps bending the currents of your life against itself and causing disharmony, i.e., suffering, or "evil."

By using willpower, you are attempting to create an impossible state because you are rejecting your own will. This becomes expressed through the Nonsense, or through 'chaos' which must be represented somehow within your life.

I am not rejecting my own will. I am solving a problem right now!, you say!

How can

Adopting a paradigm that free will is absolute is not all sunshine & daises. In fact, there are some disturbing truths that I have uncovered.

As with all work of this nature, integrating this truth requires recognizing the importance of other people and their total autonomy within your overall paradigm. This is implicit in the idea of "absolute free will" (meaning everyone gets it), but becomes sticky when you start to play with the nature of the other itself or its role in your world.

You may be offended or impatient or upset that others can seemingly conflict with your will, or go against your wishes. It is easy to become indignant when you have "seen through the cracks" and feel like you should be able to cultivate your world to your liking. You may be tempted to remove or restrict the autonomy from others as a "short cut" to higher organizations of consciousness.

But this is a trap.

Like yourself, the role of the other is to be a conduit for God -- for potential -- to choose (create) what hasn't been chosen before and this allows for the "infinite recombination" of the cosmos. This allows for fresh never-experienced-before content. Without this critical element, the universe would become deterministic, or entropic.

Denying others, much like denying any part of your world, is denying potential. This pushes you into entropic timelines, aka "dead ends."

If you opt to change the role of others to be "slaves of your will" then you are just playing with yourself. How long can you play by yourself before you go mad? When everything happens exactly as you expect, how long before you cease to exist because you know all the outcomes? This is an example of an "entropy box."

You may be inclined to think that two "absolute wills" cannot resolve. You will be inclined to think that others can act as obstacles, or influence your ability to direct your life without your input.
