The Spiritual Power of Free Will by Rev. Debbi Brown (this article appeared in Peace House Newsletter November / December 2001) "Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world, for indeed,  that's all who ever have. Anthropologist Margaret Mead After the September 11th event, I remembered this quote, forgetting that the word 'caring' was in it. I thought how true it is that a few people can change the history of the world, caring or unkind. What this event has shown me is the incredible power we have as human beings united to do great things. We can focus our thoughts and intentions on good & love or hatred & destruction. Either way we have the potential to have a great effect. God gave us so many gifts as spiritual beings in human form: the power of our imagination and will; the intellect and mind; the emotions and reasoning faculties. What we see is the absolute misuse of the spiritual power of free will. America has its fanatics. They are in the hate groups and those who bomb abortion clinics in the name of God. What is overwhelming is the intention to cause such hateful and hurtful mass destruction. The complete futility of war and hatred has not yet shone its heavenly light within these individuals. With the experience of oneness comes the understanding of the intricate web of life that unites us all. So many before us have said it in so many ways: What you do to others you do to yourself. There are many of us who have come into this world with the cellular imprint of peace and harmony already within us. We know the higher road and can see it. Like Martin Luther King, Peace Pilgrim, and Ghandi, we can taste it and feel it with all our being. How we ache to live it, because it is our very nature. Never quit believing, in our lifetime or generations to come, oneness and peace will be the spiritual foundation of the civilized world. Exercise your free will by focusing on spiritual truth and freedom. Live with an open heart, embracing life. Let the divine within you shine its pure radiance of love and understanding. Know that you are the peace the world seeks.
