FREE-WILL

"The exercise of the Will is practically limitless. It is left

unfettered so that we may be free to make our own choice of life and

evolve our own destiny. It can command all things save Love, for Love

is of God and God is not subject to authority. Love must be born IN the

Soul and OF the Soul. It must be a dual flame,--that is to say, it must

find its counterpart in another Soul which is its ordained mate, before

it can fulfil its highest needs. Then, like two wings moved by the same

soaring impulse, it assists the Will and carries it to the highest

heaven. Through its force life is generated and preserved--without it,

life escapes to other phases to find its love again. Nothing is

perfect, nothing is lasting without the light and fire of this dual

flame. It cannot be WILLED either to kindle or to burn; it must be born

of itself and IN itself, and shed its glory on the souls of its own

choice. All else is subject to order and command. Love alone is free."
