Is Optional related to one’s free will..!?
To whom is this question directed, MonaLisa?
MonaLisa,
I don’t know what is free will. Is there such a thing as bonded will?
Hope Ian answers it.
🙂
Lol….. Parmaatma..! That sure is a Fun part.
The ‘Optional’ one is part of the fun.
Like, I usually say,
I know what I know. I know what I want to know. And I don’t want to know what I don’t know.
The last one is ‘Optional’… the actual fun… but I am not keen on it…
Be very careful! What appears to be fun can be damaging to one’s self or others.
Fun can also be just empty self-indulgence. However, it is only because you are not aware of what your true state of being is, being only aware of your Earthly life, that you choose “fun”. Interestingly, Gore Vidal, the well known American writer, said something like this a few years ago, ‘It is as if the world is a large balloon into which someone has to continually pump “fun” for people to be happy!’
“Fun” as it is seen in recent times is a vacuous attempt to escape the inescapable except by full enlightenment. There is the account of the moul in the “borderland”* who, having been obsessed with money in its previous life, spent its entire “time” creating money** which was of no use there. Ultimately the moul thus learns the emptiness of the obsession.
The need for “fun” is an attachment which will have to be released at some stage of spiritual development and supplanted by the state of blisstacy.
* search for the word in TMIW.
** In the borderland creating anything is simple.
