This article draws copiously from the lecture MAN AND HIS FREE WILL in The Grail Message, which offers profound insights into the above subject. One of its most striking revelations is about a critical phase in life—often during youth—when a powerful inner force awakens. This force, called generative power, is far more than biological maturity; it represents a sacred opportunity to break free from karmic burdens and reclaim our gift of free will.
The Awakening: A Turning Point Opportunity
There comes a moment in every person’s life when a surge of creative and spiritual energy emerges. This isn’t merely about physical changes but a profound inner shift—a stirring of idealism, a longing for purity, and a deep desire to rise above the mundane. The Grail Message describes this as the awakening of generative power, a force meant to connect us fully with life on earth while also giving us the strength to transcend its limitations.
Youth, in particular, is a time when this energy is at its peak. Think of the passionate dreams of adolescence, the intense emotions, the restlessness for something greater. These aren’t just fleeting phases; they are signals of a spiritual crossroads. When generative power awakens, it offers a unique chance to focus on doing only what is good, thus giving us the opportunity to dissolve past karmic patterns and align our will with the Laws of God. But this opportunity is fragile. Society often dismisses youthful idealism as naivety, pressuring young people toward materialism, conformity, or empty pleasures. When this happens, the sacred energy is wasted, and the path to freedom grows dimmer.
The Choice: Elevation or Entanglement
Generative power is like a bridge—it can lead us upward or deeper into entanglement. Its true purpose is to unite our spiritual and material natures, allowing us to act with full consciousness and strength. When directed wisely, this energy becomes a force for transformation. When misused—squandered in selfish pursuits, sensuality, or hollow ambitions—it weakens our spirit and tightens the grip of karma.
The Grail Message emphasizes that free will isn’t just about making choices but making conscious, aligned choices (aligned with the Laws of Creation). Most people’s wills are bound by habits, societal conditioning, and unresolved karma. Generative power, when harnessed correctly, gives us the clarity and strength to cut through these chains. Here’s how we can use it to reclaim our freedom:
1. Recognise the Moment
The awakening of this generative power is a call to action. It’s a time when the soul longs for purity and truth. Instead of suppressing these feelings as "youthful folly," we should honour them as guidance toward our higher path.
2. Channel the Power Wisely
Creativity, service, and pure love are the noblest outlets for this power. Whether through art, work, or relationships, we must strive to uplift rather than merely consume. The Grail Message teaches that love, when selfless, is the ultimate tool for breaking karma. It’s not about possessive passion but a force that inspires humility, protection, and the desire to elevate and serve others.
3. Avoid the Trap of Materialism
The greatest danger lies in wasting this energy on fleeting pleasures. Indulgence in sensuality or materialism drains the spirit and reinforces karmic bonds. Instead, we must seek fulfilment in what endures—wisdom, compassion, and spiritual growth.
A Lifelong Possibility
While youth is the ideal time to harness generative power, the chance to reclaim it doesn’t vanish with age. The Grail Message assures us that sincere effort and pure love can reignite this energy at any stage of life. The key is willingness—to shed illusions, to serve selflessly, and to align our will with divine purpose.
Here is the key: just as the generative power can clean off past karma so does love. Unresolved karma is what binds us and our free will. Once we can clean off our karma either through the wise use of our generative power or by love, then we are set free!
Conclusion: The Time Is Now
Generative power is a sacred gift! It holds the key to freeing our will, dissolving karma, and ascending to our true potential. The choice is ours: Will we let society smother this flame, or will we fan it into a guiding light? As the lecture reminds us, the moment to awaken is always now. The power is within. The path is clear. The rest depends on our courage to take the first step.
