The Freedom of Choice - Thomas J. Chalko - -------------- Our conscious choices are determined and limited by our intellect "Thomas J. Chalko" ------------------- The only necessary condition for development of intellect seems to be the INTENT of intellect ITSELF. Nothing else is needed – only the intent to think. ------------------ GREAT Intellect had to exist FIRST – before any Life in the Universe came to existence. ----------------- Whoever doesn’t know Self – doesn’t know anything,
but whoever knows Self –
has already acquired the Knowledge
about the Depth of the Universe ------------------ intellect has a motive to develop itself. The best and the most logical choice for intellect – is to grow and expand itself. Otherwise it decays and in the extreme case it may even cease to exist. ------------------- one of the most pleasurable and satisfying activities for Intellect is to develop ITSELF ------------------ ANY advanced intellect has a NEED for Higher Feelings, such as Love ------------------ In order to experience Love – an exchange of feelings has to take place. To experience Love – we need to give Love and also experience being loved ----------------- for Love to be complete and truly fulfilling it has to be a mutual exchange of feelings ----------------- The moment we try to force anyone to love us, or impose any conditions, the Higher feeling that we call Love – simply stops existing. It is instantly replaced by feelings of bitterness, disappointment and even deceit, as soon as any conditions are discovered ------------------ In order to experience True Love - the autonomy of individual intellects cannot be in any way compromised. ----------------- Without the autonomy of “individual intellects” – no possibility of Love exists. ------------------- Higher Feelings such as Love are only possible if intellect is sufficiently well developed ------------------- The more developed the individual Intellect is – the Higher Feelings it can experience --------------------- once we decide to aim to understand, we create a possibility of achieving understanding -------------------- Whoever seeks will find ------------------- conscious FEAR is a result of the Individual Intellect choosing to limit ITSELF ------------------ The only limit we may ever experience in the Universe – is the one that we impose ourselves ------------------- Every Individual Intellect, including YOU has been SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to have complete autonomy and Unconstrained Freedom of Choice -------------------- autonomy of the individual intellect shouldn’t be in any way compromised. As far as you are concerned, YOU have to LEARN to make your OWN choice in any situation – this is the way your individual intellect develops itself -------------------- Exercising your own Freedom of Choice in a way that limits anyone else’s Freedom of Choice is a direct crime against The Purpose of the Universe ----------------- Some people seem “stuck” so much, that they won’t change unless they are born again --------------- we should learn to recognize and respect every human being around us as an Individual Intellect with Unlimited Potential --------------- Making mistakes is essential to the process of learning -------------- Your feelings are YOUR responsibility. Do not even try to blame others for YOUR OWN feelings --------------- People have to experience the consequences of fighting and competition to discover that Love and cooperation is a much wiser choice -------------- We only enjoy work, after having a good rest. We truly enjoy rest after having worked hard ------------- it is far easier to disturb, frighten and confuse rather than to inspire, teach, inform or promote well being ------------- There is no force in the Universe that can take your own Freedom to Think away from you. ------------- By cultivating attachment to material possessions we consciously limit our awareness and therefore limit our choices - by disregarding other options as irrelevant ------------- In materialistic society Individual Intellects experience systematic attempts of suppression and invasion of their autonomy by the most mediocre and primitive human minds that exist. ------------- The greatest limitation you will ever have to overcome is YOURSELF ------------- what counts most is not appearances, but what is behind them ------------ your choices today determine the range of choices tomorrow. This way you gradually define and determine your future in the Universe ------------- Who you eventually become in the Universe is determined only by choices that you make yourself --------------- Don’t assume that what is perfectly logical for you – will be also logical for them -------------
What a book! Very interesting and valuable, you are truely the one and only one who is reaponsible for your own intellect evolution & for your own choices, you are the one who is responsible for using your physical body in this development no other living organism on this earth is responsible for it or can do it for you.
I loved this book, guess i'm going to read many many times as long as i'm alive!
This has been a life changing book for me. I loved it so much that I translated it into my mother tongue Gujarati and is available to read for free. I would highly recommend this book to all those seekers of truth having eternal questions about God, Universe and your purpose. Read it with open mind and let those questions stir within. Let it break your limited beliefs and question reality. Must read for those on path of Self Discovery.
I found myself struggling with this book. The concepts were certainly interesting and often thought provoking but the leaps of logic were just to large. It tries to put forward logical arguments but just comes of as desperate to have you believe. With just a few referencable facts, legitimate points could have been made. Sadly it just becomes a long narrative that asks for a lot of faith from the reader.
I agree with Dr. Chalko's opinion that we're all chasing the wrong purpose of life. Something he said in this book was very familiar with The Thiaoouba Prophecy. Maybe the theory he use was based on that book. But I'm tend to believe in both books, 'cause everything made sense in that way. If they are both fictions, I had to say they did a really good job.
I have translated it into German. Freier Wille. The book is intended for all who not only want to broaden their horizons, but also to look behind the facade of already culturally or religiously acquired knowledge. It shakes the foundations and that is what is so interesting and develops our intellect. What is the raison of our being? Or even the universe? This book asks the reader questions with the help of which we can find an answer.
This was a very interesting book with a unique view of the world I was not familiar with. Sort of a non-religious but intelligent design viewpoint of the universe that left me scratching my head in a few places. I suspect the different point of view will stay with me for awhile. I recommend this book to anybody that suspects there is much more to existence than what they currently know.
