EXCERPT FROM THE PATHWORK LECTURE #18 FREE WILL You can train your willpower to flow out of your solar plexus and not out of your brain. There is a very subtle and important difference in this. I know that as long as you have not experienced this difference to some degree, my words will be merely words for you, perhaps even meaningless words. However, you can experience the difference if you keep trying, and once you have experienced it, you will know and understand very well what is willing from the brain and what is willing from your soul. The two trends often mix; the clean trend is diluted and spoiled by the unclean one. A confusion of the soul arises because you are not entirely clear which is which, or do not even know that these two very distinct and different trends exist in you. Separate them. After making this separation, let go of the ego-will that acts against divine law. It can only bring you disharmony. Revive the vital spark and revive the willpower deep within your soul, so that the clean will that does not put your ego in the center of the world can take over. I know, my dear friends, that this is indeed difficult. For some of you these words may be Greek, but those who have a deeper understanding may grasp a little bit of what I am saying. Real and deep understanding has to be worked for. It cannot come by merely listening to a lecture once. This will never be sufficient. What I have described is one of the many keys to your liberation from the prison into which you have put yourself. It is a loosening of the chains you have put around yourself. As long as you do not begin to liberate yourself from these chains, you will feel frustrated, unhappy, and discontented with your life. Begin to act now so that in every inner stream you go with divine law, instead of against it. Divine law comprises that you should not kill, steal, or commit recognized crimes or sins. These are the broader and more extreme cases. But those of you to whom such more extreme laws may not apply anymore because you have overcome these trends during your past incarnations, must begin to apply divine law within your soul, in your inner trends, in your soul currents, in your emotional reactions, and not only in your outer deeds. Changing your thoughts is not sufficient. Your feelings have to be changed too, and this cannot be accomplished unless you view yourself as you really are.
