Uh oh! It’s another test of Will. The challenge will appear out there, between you and another (or others). But, as always, the test lies within though it appears to come from without. You are always upon the path of self-knowledge and self-mastery; so know that all these tests that are put before you are necessary for your self-unfoldment.
You began this cycle of will in late December, when you had the opportunity to reaffirm that will, your free will, is dependent upon your self-knowledge. The more unaware of yourself or the world around you, the more “fated” will your life be, things will just “happen” to you. And the more you come into the knowledge of yourself (and the world around you), you will then have that much more free will to exercise in your life, you will make things happen.
Now you face a revelation, now you see how free and willful you are. It is not whether you are stronger than the other. No, the question is (always) how much self-control or self-will have you mastered? For the issue of will, of your free will, is the understanding you have about boundaries and trespassing and your sense of the sacred.
The space that you call your “self”, well that is a very sacred space, it is your space for unfolding the light within, for “becoming the becoming”. And that is also so for every other evolving consciousness in this universe. You develop your will so as to create a boundary around your sacred space, your “self”, as you interact with the other wills in your world, as they must do likewise.
Your unfolding will leads to ever greater self-control and self-determination that is reflected outwardly in your respect for the boundaries of others. You come to understand that the only control that matters, the only control that is true and lasting, is self-control. All else is illusion.
If someone attempts to push, manipulate or guilt you to do something, (well shame on them for that is trespassing), you move away, you put space between them and you. And likewise you must restrain yourself, even for the very best intentions, from attempting to force another to do whatever you might think is best for them (or you). Hopefully, for your sake, you will fail in the attempt.
Instead, turn your sacred power of will back upon yourself so as to continue your journey of self-discovery, creativity and understanding. And, by your example, encourage others to do the same.
It is this development of free will and sacred spaces that is at the very heart of the journey for Life-Consciousness-Spirit.
This is its Destiny…which is your Destiny. So be it.
