The beautiful implications of "There is no free will"

 

1) Everything is always unfolding perfectly

Multiple realities are impossible. There is only this unfolding, and the pattern is moving naturally from one moment to the next. Where is it leading us? To Self, to Truth, to the Now. Form is created in order for the idea that it exists and the attachment to it to dissolve.

2) There is no ‘right’ and ‘wrong’
The above means that dualities such as ‘good’ and ‘bad’, ‘right and wrong’, ‘lucky’ and ‘unlucky’ are created by the mind, and are not really applicable in reality. They arise because our personal movies (our individual lives) seemingly come into existence to let us face these beliefs in dualities, let them go, and return to equanimous Presence.

3) ‘Should’ve’, ‘would’ve’, ‘could’ve’…
What you do in each moment is perfect, since it is the only possible option. If that is available, take the perspective of Awareness and embrace everything as it is. If doubts and ‘shoulds’ come up, then let that happen, and know that it is just a resistance to what is, arising in the moment. 

 

5) Karma cannot be generated
The totality of karma has taken form as soon as the Universe appeared. From then on, things are unfolding in a pattern. That’s the only cause & effect in existence, and it will cease when there are no more beliefs in separation. Until then, the pattern is unfolding and karma is being processed by all of us collectively. This means that you are constantly releasing your ‘personal' karma - it is impossible for new karma to be generated, the totality of it is already within you and it is only diminishing.

4) Relationships
No one you meet is random, and whatever they bring about in you is what is meant to happen. We are all walking each other Home, so even when judgements & arguments arise, everyone involved in the situation is healing by feeling & letting go of their beliefs in separation.

5) Work, finances, etc.
Whatever your work situation is - whether you love it, worry about it, or want it to change - it is the only way it can possibly be at the moment. Since everything is unfolding perfectly, nothing is random and you are always at the right place at the right time. This applies not only to work, but also to the amount of money you have, to eating meat or not, to political views, religions beliefs, gender preferences, spiritual inclinations, etc. 

 

6) Death
The death of the body/mind cannot be prevented - that is also an inevitable part of the unfolding. One day, it will happen. There is nothing much to think about here, but again - if thoughts and worries about death arise, then it is simply your patterning in the moment to release resistance by projecting your fears onto dying.

The above insights came to me as a result of exploring non-duality, but also feeling like I wasn’t truly living the teaching every time I made a decision. About two and a half years ago, I surrendered my decision-making completely to divination tools, which led to a lot of releases of resistance to what is and this clarity of understanding. I recently created a 10-day course on "Accessing your intuition through dowsing" - have a look in case you’d like to learn a bit more about my journey and to try surrendering control for a few hours or for a day.
