The Reverend Tot Tomson was giving his weekly sermon, and this week it was on the idea of freedom, versus predeterminism. Here is what he said: "In some ways, our life can be scripted by something higher than our self, perhaps by God, or our soul, for example, but is it also predetermined, or predestined to take place, in any way too?" "Now, love is the oneness of God being itself." "When we move away from living in this love, we are predestined in one way, or another, to return to full loving." "Our freedom of choice determines how long this might take." "This is because all acts for us to help bring us back again to love." "Nothing is actually predetermined except that the final goal will be eventually achieved by all souls." "This is to reach a conscious understanding of how love lives in them being them, whilst at the same time remaining in God, being God within them." "Separateness, and unity, are two sides of the one coin." "Oneness contains all, but it is often recreated into its infinite parts, in infinitely different ways. Duality is only one such way." "What is the love of God? Is it something to be found, and if so, is it worth the finding?" "Love is lost when you pursue your own wants, and to find it again, we simply must learn not to depend on wanting to fulfil our own wants." "God's love is worth refinding again, because it is the only thing to give your life the feeling of real meaning." "You can intellectually debate the meaning of life, but the only way to really know that you have the actual right meaning is to feel it deep within your heart, and this is finding and hanging onto the connection to the love of God, and not losing it again to the passing wants, and desires, of your ego." "What are the implications of God's love for us all?" "Love lives in each person, and the implication of this is that there is always this connection to God, via his love, available for every person that wants to connect to God, and thus live a life serving God." "Be that person, be that love. Serve God both from yourself, and from God." "That is the gist of my message for you today." And with that last line, his sermon was complete for today.
