The Free Radical

(Author Narration with musical accompaniment: I Can’t Wait to See You by Randy Armstrong)

I have to believe in the sanctity of free will; the ability of my conscious I AM presence to make choices and decisions has to have direct consequences for my Life experience. Otherwise– if not– then the occurrence of my apparent consciousness is a baseless illusion, and all of my choices are moot; or simply, that I am conscious is meaningless and utterly pointless. However, I observe that Nature is not frivolous in her endowments.

As a Living Being, I contend that I have free will in varying degrees of potential and practical application. The scope and functionality of my will to choose is free to the precise degree that I am aware of the myriad choices before me in every moment. The more choices available to my conscious awareness in every moment, the freer is my will to choose.

The evolution or growth of my freedom of will is an achievement of awareness; the first step to growing my awareness is the simple realization of just this. If Life’s purpose is growth and evolution, then it naturally follows that the overall expansion of my awareness– my field of choices– ultimately serves Life’s purposes. Therefore, I have the unassailable right in every moment to define the parameters of my current awareness, and to know where precisely my awareness is being hampered or curtailed artificially by heretofore unperceived forces.

I have every right to clearly define the experiences to which I AM available, and to know the choices in every moment that best facilitate those experiences. In the event that those choices remain hidden or seemingly unavailable, I assert the unassailable right to know the full nature of the obfuscation, therefore granting me the freedom to act in my own growth interests at all times.

Quite simply, free will– that ever-present aspect of my conscious I AM presence– has the inviolate right to self-determination. My will selects the scope of my will, which determines the nature of my experience.
