Any New Insights on any of the Powers/Abilities explored to date?

The Power of UNDERSTANDING UNDERSTANDING is the ability to know, perceive, comprehend and spiritually “see.”

UNDERSTANDING What did you discover about your use of UNDERSTANDING during the previous week?

How did it go using the denial and affirmation? I give no power to who I think I am based on sense consciousness. I claim UNDERSTANDING now. I spiritually know and comprehend that I am the best person or Christ I can be.

The Power of WILL WILL is the ability to choose, decide, command, direct and determine. It is the executive faculty of the mind. It moves all the Powers into action.

The Power of Will Apostle: Matthew Location: Front Forebrain Color: Silver Works with Understanding

God’s Will The Power of Will is NOT God’s Will. The belief in God’s Will is the belief that a choice that has already been made. Better to speak of God-Will – the amorphous urge to be Christ.

WILL used from ego/personality The ability to choose, decide, command, lead and determine based on the senses, feelings, beliefs and thoughts. We use WILL to make life-enhancing choices … or not.

The Power of WILL What does underdeveloped WILL look like? What does overdeveloped WILL look like?

Unconscious Will Based on a cause in our subconscious mind which consists of beliefs that are not in our moment to moment awareness. Choices are made from unconscious or subconscious beliefs, by default rather than a conscious choice. For example, if a person has a subconscious belief that s/he is unworthy, then choices will be unwittingly made that reinforce this belief.

Conscious Will from our senses Based on something in physicality we are gleaning through our sight, sound, scent, touch, and or taste. A person might decide to turn right instead of left because there is heavy traffic to left, and s/he knows of another way to get home by turning left.

Conscious Will from our human personality based on thoughts, feelings, attitudes and/or beliefs held in human consciousness. A person believes that s/he can become a doctor. After gathering the information and reviewing the requirements, s/he makes the choice to move ahead with that career option.

WILL used from Elevated Consciousness The ability to choose, decide, command, lead and determine based on Divine Ideas, Truths, Principles and Laws. We use WILL to choose and direct all thoughts and actions to be the best Christ we can be. We make choices decisions that reinforce and confirm our True, Christ Nature.

The Power of WILL Practice: 1. Notice how you use WILL now. 2. Who do you know that demonstrates WILL (positively or negatively)?

The Power of WILL Deny/Release: I choose to give no power to my adverse personality. Affirm: I claim WILL now. I choose to be the best person or Christ I can be.
