Soul Guidance versus Self-Will

Light moves through a situation only when you say, "This is good! Let there be Light!" Then time and space meet as the eternal now.

You can discriminate between Oversoul guidance and the use of force under the self-will only while standing under the Light. There is no self in soul. You cannot have it both ways; you can choose to have your credits on the inner or the outer, but never in both places at once. – Edna Lister, December 5, 1959.

 Soul Guidance

 Self-Will Aggression

 Soul is restful and quiet.

 Self-will is urgent and boisterous.

 Soul is calm and awaits the right time to act.

 Self-will is insistent and forceful.

 Soul unites people.

 Self-will divides people.

 Soul cleans up its own sins.

 Self-will spotlights another's sins.

 Soul always glorifies God and
 gives Him the credit.

 Self-will takes credit.

 Soul desires to obey law.

 Self-will wants sex, success and security.

 Soul accepts the Cross of Christ in
 daily living.

 Self-will creates crosses for self
 and others to bear.

 Soul brings freedom.

 Self-will creates frustration.

 Soul leads to action.

 Self-will makes you complacent and lazy.

 Soul makes you live in the peace
 of God's presence.

 Self-will makes you wallow
 in self-righteousness.

 Soul says, "I don't know, but God  will tell
 me what He wants me to know."

 Self-will says, "I know. You don't.
 I'll tell you what to do."

 Soul requires rigid discipline of self and
 balance under God.

 Self-will gives the self unbridled freedom
 to usurp the conscious mind.
