True Freedom

            "Man, on Earth, is a prince to whom My
            love and My justice gave that title, and
            the order that he received since the
            beginning was to be sovereign on Earth.

            "Upon the Divine gift of his freedom of
            will, I placed a guiding light that
            would illuminate the path of his
            existence: the conscience.

            "Freedom to act and the light of the
            conscience to distinguish Good from
            evil, are two of the greatest gifts with
            which My love as a Father, endowed your
            spirit. They are in the spirit of man
            before he is born and after he dies. The
            conscience guides him, and it does not
            separate from him during desperation, or
            in the loss of reasoning, or during
            agony, because it is intimately bound to
            the spirit."
                                              The Third Testament
Nowadays it is very common to hear many people refer to freedom of choice or free will. as if they were synonims of freedom or liberty.

But, if we reflect upon it a little bit, we might reach the comprehension that, if fact, they are quite different things.

For starters, free choice or free will are not subjected neither to the conscience nor the Divine Law in the first place, and therefore, it can be used irresponsibly, at the point to make it become libertinage. Thus we see how free will is misused and overused in all orders of human life, wheter in its spiritual and moral aspects or in its material ones.

The free will, just as the will, could be used in both ways, either in evil or in good.

Freedom or liberty, in the other hand (true freedom that is), is closely related with the conscience and with the Divine Law, since all true liberty emerges from the truth.

  "And ye shall know the truth,
  and the truth shall make you
  free."
  Jn 8:32
To better illustrate this, let's take a very common and extended vice: Cigarrette smoking.

Those who have acquired this popular vice, will normally say that they smoke because they decided so, in full use of their "freedom". That alleged freedom (which is nothing else that their free will, pure and raw), makes them fall in slavery, even them knowing very well that smoking is very damaging to their health and that sooner or later will carry them fatal consequences.

How great should their effort be in order to free them from that obstinate vice! They are slaves, they are far from be free.

And there you have the great paradox of all: In use of an apparent freedom, they have ended losing their true freedom, falling in a libertinage that harms them, going as far to deprive them from their health and life.

How different it is, rather, when the human being uses in a conscient and responsible way, his faculties to decide and to do!

            "The true spirituality is freedom of your
            spirit along his pathway and for your
            flesh along its travel; that your body
            does not invade the inroads of the
            spirit nor that your spirit converts
            himself to materialism.

            "Submit your free will to My Law and to
            your conscience, and you will not feel
            slaves, but truly free."
                                           The Third Testament
