The Dual Guidance of Will and Higher Calling

Every action we take is born from the depths of consciousness, when the will accepts motives as the basis for choice. It is within us that a source matures, transforming everyday impulses into a powerful impetus for change and inspiration. By delving into ourselves, we realize that true choice isn’t formed by chance—it is the result of an internal process where personal aspirations merge with a higher guiding principle that directs us toward spiritual perfection. This call, permeating every deed, reminds us of the necessity to follow someone or something capable of leading us beyond fleeting circumstances, opening up new horizons of meaning and purpose. The fusion of personal will with higher calling turns the ordinary into something significant, enabling us to move forward confidently and energetically, crafting our destiny and imbuing our lives with deep meaning.

"Whom or what do you follow, what directs your actions and decisions?"

In essence, your actions and decisions are determined not by random circumstances but by the motives that your will accepts as its foundation for choice. As stated in one author’s expression, "The motive only becomes the reason and produces a decision or action when the will assimilates it, making it a part of itself. By thus placing the ultimate cause of the decision and action of the will in the will itself, we discover its ability to initiate a new sequence of actions, to be the cause of the cause of decision and action. And the fact that human will can act only according to motives…" (source: 253_1263.txt). This means that the cause of your actions lies in an inner choice—your will, which accepts certain motives and directs your deeds accordingly.

On the other hand, many thinkers draw attention to the call of a higher force that beckons and shows the way. In one text, a call is heard: "Follow Me. There are times when one person tells another in various circumstances, 'follow Me.' Christian! Thus, Christ the Lord tells each of us, 'follow Me'..." (source: 1466_7328.txt, page: 102). This call underscores the existence of a higher, moral guide that demands following that which can lead to true meaning and a purpose that transcends the vanity of everyday existence.

Therefore, it can be concluded that your decisions and actions are directed both by your inner motives, assimilated by your will, and by a call to a higher and more meaningful path that invites you to follow that which can lead to true purpose. This duality—the inner will, capable of transforming motives into actions, and the call of a higher purpose—serves as a fateful guide in choosing your path.
