Inviting Experiential or Realized Knowledge of Will | Steve Beckow

By Steve Beckow, February 8, 2021

(Golden Age of Gaia)

I find myself confronting such a primal, age-old puzzle that I feel the ages engage themselves with me in considering and – if the Mother wills – resolving it.

That puzzle is the appropriate, prudent, and productive relationship between love and will.

It seems to overlap with the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine.

I confess at the outset that I have no idea what the conclusion of the discussion will be or will produce.

When in strange territory, and looking at it from an everyday perspective, as you know, I tend to establish a beachhead of understanding. (1)

My beachhead here is that love and the will are both facets of the Divine. There’s no need to reconcile them because there’s nothing about either of them that needs to be reconciled. But there’s something about me that needs to be reconciled.

My will is not pure enough and my love not deep enough for me to see the answer to my dilemma immediately and instantaneously.

If I work backwards from that, then I’d say that, lacking realized knowledge of will or love, at this moment, and lacking experience of it, I look for evidence in places where I won’t find it – in my ideas.

The experiences I’ve had of love and peace have either surprised me or seemed utterly novel to me – not at all what I expected. I expect that, if I were to have an experience or realization of pure will, I’d be every bit as surprised.

As long as my state of consciousness is lower than either the experiential or realizational, I have no means of confirming or denying what my ideas say.

I acknowledge that I have no real, true, higher-dimensional knowledge of will. Love, yes. Will, no.

I reject consulting my ideas on this subject. Anything I say from this place would be mere guesswork.

I seek, invite and open myself to experiential or realized knowledge of it.
