Our Coat of Many Colors – The Nature of God
Divine Virtue #1
The WILL to Be.

It’s color is royal blue, best exemplified in history by the character Hercules.  It is the Will to be and do.  It is Decision.  Everything that has ever been accomplished, has been accomplished by men and women of Decision.  Preceding any creation comes Desire – then the DECISION and the WILL TO DO. 

As Lord Buddha sat in contemplation, searching for the fullness of Truth, it was His WILL which drove his consciousness up through every sphere, every dimension until He reached what he considered to be the “Ultimate”.  It would not let Him abide long in the pleasures of any sphere, any dimension, of beauty which was less then the full perfection of the Heart of the Eternal.  When He stood in the Presence of the Angels; when He heard the songs of the Celestial Choirs; it was His WILL which enabled Him to forgo the happiness and freedom of staying in those realms.  His WILL drove His consciousness through to the Heart of Truth.  When He finally did stand consciously in the Heart of Truth and realized Himself there in that God-free estate, it was His WILL again that brought His consciousness back to Earth in order that he might give to mankind the Truths  embodied in his experience. 

It was the WILL in the Hearts of Joshua and his friends that brought down the walls of Jericho.   

It was the WILL in the Heart of Jesus Christ which enabled Him to walk the road to Calvary; which burst His tomb asunder and which enabled Him to ascend into the fullness of His perfection. 

It is my WILL which has brought to me what I am today. 

A long time ago it was said “Thy Kingdom come; Thy WILL be done on Earth and it is in Heaven.  One man meant it and for him, it was. 

The same is true for the rest of us. 

I inspire us today with the realization that what we WILL to be, we WILL BE! 

For we are the pillars of Hercules.
