“Evil comes from the abuse of free will.” -Carl Jung
Free will absolutely exists. It is the archetype program required here in this reality that intentionally invokes and promotes choice. Choice is why we are here; to introduce and experience the concept of duality. Duality gives us the opportunity to choose. Our chosen choices are what creates our situations and personalities; past, present, and future. Our personalities are as unique as the fingerprints on our hands and what creates, molds, and develops our current soul’s incarnation. But to be clear, our current personality, and our past ones for that matter, are not what the personality of our Over Soul is; the Higher Self. Think of our personality as just the temporary costume we put on in the theatrical play of this current lifetime.
Looking into the ethereal, you will find that your Over Soul has a wardrobe of diverse costumes it has adorned over the many plays it starred in different timelines, dimensions, and universes. Some of these might have been conducted simultaneously. Your Over Soul has the capability to multitask and yes, within multiple lifetimes at the same time. It’s finally time for us to release the notion of what we conceptualize in this temporal 3D illusion, here and now, is the pinnacle of all existence. The Truth goes far beyond what we can even imagine through our five senses.
Personalities are generated through our actions and inactions and is all archived in the Hall of Records of the Akashic realm. Think of the Akashic field as a sort of library or Cloud recording everything we have ever done in this lifetime or in previous ones. You are literally on candid camera in every single moment of your life here. This is why and how Near-Death Experiencers (NDErs) are able to report they had a profound life review during their experience. These opportunities allow for the ability to review thoughts, feelings, decisions, actions, and inactions in order to see and feel through another person’s perspective.
Hurt someone intentionally or unintentionally here and you may not feel remorse. But while viewing the life review you viscerally feel how your words cut, or your actions hurt another person. You feel those emotions through the victim’s perspective within your own consciousness. And further NDE reporting suggests that during these reviews, it is never anyone or anything externally judging you and your lifetime, but it is yourself in total self-judgement. Most of the time we are all carrying around a lifetime of self-judgement down here on Earth and we hate it. Yet, it is said that it feels a thousand times heavier on the other side of the veil during the life review. This is why people choose to reincarnate for another life to get it right or wish to come back in their present life incarnation to live life from this newfound perspective and be loving towards others.
In this reality of black & white; up & down; left & right; good & evil; negative & positive; light & dark there is only choice.
As little creators, we are constantly creating our own false reality here in this 3rd dimension; the dimension of choice that leads to an ultimate choice of polarization; positive or negative. Think not of positive and negative as good or bad but more in terms of Service to Others or Service to Self; respectively. The choice between the two is what establishes your next incarnation and direction for the Over Soul to experience. There is no damnation linked to the choice between the two, only the lessons that will be presented later for overall growth.
But be forewarned, any action caused by the lower self towards another that is harmful earns karma that eventually has to be reconciled. It is the same as a monetary debt, and in order to fully progress towards spiritual graduation, the debt must always be settled. Bottom line, the less debt (karma) you owe in life, the easier to clear your balance at the end of your incarnation. This is why acting in kindness, grace and forgiveness has been repeated as proper ways of living for eons from Ascended Masters such as Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna.
Yet this dimension, as lived through a 3rd density band of frequencies in the law of vibration, is used to intentionally veil ourselves from our Higher Self and ultimately the Godly Truth. We lose all access to the answers upon our birth here until we consciously make the reconnection to our High Selves by going deep within in our own spiritual evolution. Without the conscious effort to reconnect and reconcile, we bumble around our lives here, distracted by materialism, greed, self-induced suffering, and many of the sins created by those of us resisting alignment to Natural Law.
We grow more and more averse to natural alignment and take on an idea that we have it all figured out. We separate ourselves farther and farther from the Way, the Truth and the (eternal) Life; opting to enjoy our self-made prisons by using free will against God through our choices. In short, we waste a precious opportunity here to knuckle down and study for graduation from this reality.
Therefore, there are ultimately only two choices that exist; the alignment to Godly Natural Law or its polar opposite expressed as the act of free will that the lower soul (us through our ego) uses in order to create in a dual reality; creating the illusion. The ego is the Antichrist since the ego is opposite of Christ Consciousness. The ego is the one that distracts us from aligning with the only thing that is true; God. The ego makes us fall farther and farther from God, thus the Fall and Original Sin which is the parable in the Bible describing humans from the beginning choosing to follow ego versus God.
The Tree of Life held all the answers, but so did God. We had a choice, and we chose poorly. As we separated ourselves from God, God frantically cried out “Where are you?” If you are a parent and have lost sight of your kids for even a minute, you know the feeling in those words. When Christianity says we are all born into sin, that means we are all born into the default setting of choosing ourselves before God. We are born into false self-preservation mode until we finally wake up, reborn and surrender to follow the Way again. Make sense now?
If our souls are not fully aligned with Natural Law and the Godly choice, then our soul is always counter to a way of being that is not fully aligned to the Truth. A person then finds themself physically stuck and spiritually in a lower vibration. Thus, an imbalance of the lower three chakras. Chakras are known as the inherent energy centers that encompasses the body. The lower three chakras are The Root, the Sacral and the Solar Plexus. Each have attributes that affect how we adapt to catalysts (life lessons) that are always present around us, begging to be transmuted. Some catalysts are preordained in your unique life blueprint are encoded in our DNA and acting as a tattoo of sorts to create the code of our make-up.
The full series of chakras are a set of seven energy centers that follow the base of spine to the crown of the head. Each energy center is a specific “processing station” to express and move energy further along its vertical path for full transmutation. Living in a 3rd dimension and a 3rd vibrational frequency challenges us to balance our first, second and third chakras in order to graduate to the fourth dimensional reality. The 4th dimension is enveloped in a 4th density vibrational band. It is the 4th chakra (The Heart) that resides in this 4th density, and you guessed it, becomes our next “school” to balance the energy of Love (Heart-based consciousness). This is really the only one you can work on here that is similar to taking a pre-college course while finishing Senior year.
In order to graduate after this incarnation, it’s our life’s true purpose to just be as human beings and to process the lessons life presents us through balancing the 1st, 2nd & 3rd chakras. The universe is always evaluating our progress. Ever notice as you successfully transcend a catalyst in your life, that same catalyst seems to not show up as a challenge any longer? Passing the lesson, you vertically spiral into a higher challenge; like in a video game. But it was the original catalyst you had to transcend first to elevate your level of consciousness that prepares your lower self for those future, advanced lessons. It is the soul’s mission to not fight the lessons, but to just observe and process them correctly and efficiently. But when our ego gets involved, we attach to the surface level details of the problem and not the root. This is where we all fail without a resolute, personal devotional practice.
Therefore, the Root is where the catalyst process begins and a good way to remember this is the saying “Money is the root of all evil/problems (challenges).” As you will see below, money is just a manifested concept. It doesn’t really exist. However, the chakra energy that processes the “money concept” is real and can be manipulated, positively or negatively. The root chakra is represented by the color red, existing in the broadest band and slowest wave of vibration. During the ascension process, the bands get narrower, and the vibration becomes faster and denser.

When it comes to imbalances or blockages, it is our own active resistance that causes the energy to become trapped and bound up. Just like unpassed gas makes the digestive system bloat and inflame, so do each of the energy centers as energy becomes difficult to fully and efficiently express. The exercise of free will that is polarized toward Service to Self and the aversion to embrace the natural way and Truth creates the blockages in our specific energy centers we desire to be free from. Trauma, stress, and suffering symptomize because of the choices we make that do not align with the soul’s true purpose. Free will, if not used responsibly, kills you slowly. The symptoms collect in the DNA and fibers of our Earthly bodies that we end up carrying around like dilapidated luggage. Sickness and Dis-Ease are by-products of this unchecked, bound up toxic energy.
There are some new opportunities happening within the Department of Defense that are exploring Reiki, a form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing modalities that promote relaxation, reducing stress, support healing, shifting and transmuting energy. Reiki practitioners have a natural and attuned gift to recognize the seven chakras in anyone’s body and can sense cleared or blocked energy centers. I’ve had two Reiki therapy sessions myself and can attest to there is something profound to it. Now, the Intrepid Spirit Center (ISC) on many DoD installations are considering the Reiki healing modality as part of their behavioral health, rehabilitation, and integrative health services. They are already fully on-board with Tai Chi, yoga, and meditation to assist in PTSI and TBI. Reiki is just another tool in the spiritual toolbox to triage suffering Service Members that are becoming available.
These mentioned modalities are a great help to quiet the mind, the ego and one’s conscious awareness. By quieting the mind, one can begin to identify the distractions that keep them from inner stillness. Distractions happening all around us in this reality are what blinds ourselves to our true purpose; to live, observe, process lessons and just be. To just keep waking up every day and giving it another shot, not to chase down fleeting dreams that serve no real eternal purpose for the soul, but only the ego monkey mind. Becoming the creator by letting go and returning to your Truth helps the soul be, for beings’ sake.
We are all here to use and be used; pawns in the game of life. Don’t take anything personal, that is what the ego does and causes the downward spiral into blocked energy centers. Your authentic self, the Higher Self, is beyond taking things personal in this temporal existence. The feeling of lack, the attachment to unhealthy and unrealistic expectations of yourself, others, and life in general and your never ceasing attempts to control this causal reality is what brings about suffering and stagnation in the lower three chakras. It’s time to just surrender and see life for what it is; a series of tests or “developmental gates” to pass through gracefully for ultimate ascension to the 4th grade!
Stop thinking what we experience in the illusion here on Earth is all there is; that we are the universal apex of beings, and our that evolution is trending the highest possible order. How arrogant of us; the Universe is expansive. Let’s get comfortable with becoming humble again. Instead, begin to think it is reasonable that we are here just as a microcosm of the vast macrocosm of existence. Think in fractals. With a fractal, you zoom out from the beginning of the Universe all the way down to the minute details of our DNA and further while noticing the familiar patterns. Become aware and non-resistant that we are just a smaller version of the giants above us in a different capacity, a different universe, a different dimension, and a different density. Think of that the next time you observe an ant or a bacterium.
To conclude, The Truth is all we seek to rediscover ourselves once the dualistic illusion is finally seen for what it is; just a tool for spiritual discovery and growth.
Think of your soul’s experience here on Earth as a challenge, attending a school, and faced with a decision point; to come here during an incarnation, endure many, many hardships with other fellow souls that are utilizing their own free will to navigate this dimension as well. A healthy and balanced chakra energy system helps process those hardships generated by the choices from our free will and others through cause and effect. But without good education on how these modalities work, then we become and remain unbalanced in the world of free will. God gave us the gift of choice for a purpose. It’s up to each of us to choose wisely how to utilize the gift and focus on graduation.
Anything else is just a distraction.

Not quite satisfied and feeling the draw to serve once again, Robb made his way back behind the gate working with some of the nation’s tip of spear warfighters on Fort Liberty, NC.
It was during this time that he was drawn into an esoteric spiritual journey of self-discovery and began peeling back the onion of how vanquishing spiritual warfare can serve as a personal force multiplier. Dropping all ties to dogmatic religious principles, Robb solely embarked into studies of the mystical and metaphysical for the answers of life. Now forged with this newfound purpose, Robb blends his current path of spiritual ascension along with his past experience of the rigors of military service in order to uplift the future of his brothers and sisters in arms.
