Evolution, Metaphysics and Free Thinkers

My Guide Group is all about our personal evolution and the evolution of the human race, and they recently channeled a message that included the words free thought. I was intrigued by the phrase and decided to do a little research to see what part free thought plays in the study of metaphysics and in our ongoing quest to evolve. Here’s a bit of what I uncovered.

Free thought is a philosophical point of view wherein it is felt one’s opinion should be formed and based on the basis of logic, reason, and research. This is the opposite of accepting the information that secular or religious leaders, authority figures, or traditions tell us to think or believe. Free thinkers look to facts and scientific inquiry, and so at first look, it would appear that a free thinker would have nothing in common with a Metaphysician, but that is not the case

A Metaphysician wants to find the answers to questions that human beings have asked since the beginning of time, i.e., who are we and why are we here? Metaphysics is concerned with being, how beings relate to each other, and where we fit in the bigger universal picture of life. To be a Metaphysician, one must also be a free thinker, and here’s why: a metaphysician must stretch beyond the boundaries of conventional thought and religious beliefs in order to investigate such matters as life after death, communication with Spirit, reincarnation, and karma. While anyone who wishes to connect with their Higher Self or Guides can do so, one must be a bit of a free thinker to believe that such a thing is possible Free thinking and metaphysics both also share a connection with Humanism. Humanism, as a philosophy, emphasizes the importance of human beings collectively and individually, and the impact of ethics and morals on individuals and society are part of this line of thought. To entertain a Humanist point of view, one must be a free thinker in that the Humanist point of view is in many ways contrary to conventional dogma.

A Metaphysician understands that the actions of one person affect us all collectively—we are in this world together, and we are evolving together.

Metaphysicians know the universal truth that we are all connected on a soul level, and as one of us grows, we all grow. What follows this truth is the understanding that for human beings to truly evolve as a race of beings, to become all that we can be, to reach our goals, to fulfill our missions, to learn, to grow, and TO BE, we must each follow our own path. We must allow ourselves to think freely, and we must free ourselves from thoughts and dogma that keep us from moving forward. In this way, we will positively affect each other individually and evolve as a species.

How does one get started becoming a free thinker? Author, speaker, and philosopher Scott Berkun says that we should ask ourselves the following two questions: (1) Why do we believe what we believe; and (2) How do we know what we know?

Berkun’s questions made an impact on me. Instead of blindly accepting information that is given to us in textbooks, on the internet, in a newscast, in books, from teachers, and from our friends and family, it makes sense for us to explore the details and ferret out background information before we make up our minds; especially when it comes to controversial subjects and topics that will help us expedite our spiritual growth.

My first foray into the importance of free thought came during my early twenties after joining the Baptist Church in order to attend the same church as my then-husband’s family. In my mind, there was one God, Creator, and Source, so what did it matter what church I went to? Interestingly, during one of the first sermons I attended, the Pastor preached about worshipping idols and said that anyone who did so would be going to Hell. Since my entire family was Catholic and they all had statues of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ in their homes (and many of them wore crosses and medallions around their necks), after the church was over that day, it seemed that a talk with the Pastor was in order.

He assured me that, yes, all of my family members would be going to Hell if they continued to have these statues in their homes and wore the medallions and crosses around their necks. That sermon was a huge wake-up call because it set me on the path of free thinking without knowing that’s what it was called. That Pastor’s words caused me to spend a lot of time questioning his statements. It made no sense to me that wonderful people would be going to Hell for such a thing, and it was clearly time for me to begin questioning what any authority figure had to say rather than blindly believing and following them.

According to my Guide Group, exercising freedom of thought is what will take us to the next level of evolution, and here’s a channeled message about where the human race is headed:

“The Time will come when all of humankind care about each other and race will not matter. People will revel in each other’s differences and be happy for the opportunity to learn about different cultures with joy and without judgment. This evolution in the making is attributable to the souls who are incarnating now and will continue to incarnate over the next few generations.

Each shipment of souls to the planet has a different aura or energy about them that is constantly getting stronger.

New energies are emerging that will enable the human race to make progress.” https://www.facebook.com/SherriCortlandAuthor www.Sherri-Cortland.com

In closing, let me throw out the fact that Albert Einstein is considered to have been a free thinker, and YOU could be the next Albert Einstein---unlocking great universal truths and assisting the evolution of humankind as you allow yourself the freedom of thought.

Namaste.

THE WIND BLOWS: There is movement in the air. The tree sways and moves according to the direction of the breeze, and at the exact same moment, a section of the tree flows in the exact opposite direction. While other sections move from left to right and also in every other direction allowed at that exact time. It's the 360 degrees that make everything on this earth humanly possible. Every human thought wave individually and collectively flows just as the wind and moves in the exact same 360-directional pattern as the tree.

We live in a false universe. Our thought patterns are like the wind, and every decision we make shifts us into a new trajectory within one of the 360 directions, much like how the wind moves the tree. Decisions are the powerful force that chooses the ongoing path one now heads towards. Depending on one's wants, needs, and desires, it will resemble the same or a different path appearing as a new creative interaction for a well-rehearsed existing outcome.

Once this occurs and each time we change direction, our destiny will lead us to new and different experiences, maybe? Unfortunately, our conditional thought patterns will or may appear different at face value while being exactly the same energetically as that which we already created from our past. As an example, a divorce carries the same energetic structure as a rejection from another individual for different reasons at a different time, years earlier. The pattern is repeated; the mind doesn't connect the two, while the emotional strengths will appear different due to the lack of intensity.
