Freedom

The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because you will not listen to it.

It is not your will to be imprisoned because your will is free.

That is why the ego is the denial of free will.

It is never God Who coerces you, because He shares His Will with you. His Voice teaches only in accordance with His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what you are.

The lesson is that your will and God's cannot be out of accord because they are one. This is the undoing of everything the ego tries to teach.

It is not, then, only the direction of the curriculum that must be unconflicted, but also the content.

The ego tries to teach that you want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, and the attempt to learn it is a violation of your own freedom, making you afraid of your will because it is free.

 

The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's.

 

The Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would hold you back.
