聽神談【有關「神的欲望」與「自由意志」】
神的欲望(desire)是：每一個夠大、夠精緻或複雜到足以反映自我覺知(註*)的有感知生命，都有能力創造自己的實相，並能使用「自由意志」和「有意識的選擇」。
以鍊金術的說法來說，生命根本的基礎元素──宇宙中單一體能量的「基礎本質」中的個別微小粒子──在元素組如何調頻結盟方面(how the combination of elements align)，並沒有特別的偏好。
你的靈魂正是這種粒子們的組合，它確實帶有意圖(intention)。你的靈魂是神聖意圖的局部呈現(Your soul is the local presence of the Divine Intention)，那是每個有感知的生命在「表達神性」時，對神性的定義。
這樣的生命可自由創造任何它所選擇的事物，這即是神性(Godliness)最宏偉的展示。或者，用另一種方式來說：你們都擁有自由意志(Free Will)。
你會注意到，從我們第一次的對話開始，我就一再重複，神對你們的生活方式並沒有偏好。我唯一的欲望是：你們有被賦予「可去創造你們喜好事物」的力量。
因此，你們視什麼為「要緊的」(“matters”)──那就是你們如何把純能量轉變為固體物質的方式──是取決於你們的，不論個人或集體。在做出這選擇時，你可以聽從於你的身體、你的心智或你的靈魂。
註*：self-awareness，在《重新定義神》中，神說：宇宙中的每樣東西都是自我覺知的，即使是一顆石頭也具有自我覺知的意識，只是在不同的層次中運作。
摘自《與神對話 4》第15章
God's Desire is that every sentient being – that is, every element of life large enough and sophisticated or complex enough to reflect self-awareness – has the ability to create its own reality, using Free Will and Conscious Choice.
This is an alchemic way of saying that the Foundational Elements of Life – the tiny individual particles of the Essential Essence – have no preference in the matter of how the combination of elements align.
Your soul, which is a collection of such particles, does have an intention. Your soul is the local presence of the Divine Intention, which is to express Divinity in every moment as each sentient being defines it.
This being has the freedom to create whatever it chooses, which is Godliness in its grandest demonstration.
Or to put this all still another way: you all have Free Will.
You will note that I have been saying to you from the very first conversation we ever had that with regard to how your life is lived, God has no preference in the matter. My only Desire is that your preference be empowered.
Therefore that which “matters” – that is, that which you cause to turn from pure energy into solid matter – is up to you, individually and collectively. In making this choice, you can either listen to your body, to your mind, or to your soul.
