Yup, Ra had many good words for the faculty of will --
Quote:This entity has great distortions in the direction of mind complex activity, spirit complex activity, and that great conduit to the Creator, the will. (from 72.10)
Quote:Your faculty of will is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator. You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance. (from 52.7)

Why do you say that, 3?
Though the following is not a shining example of STO philosophy; I think single-mindedness is achievable in 3D s/t, especially under favorable circumstances wherein freewill is not heavily circumscribed --
Quote:11.11 Questioner: Did this enable them to do what we refer to as magic? Could they do paranormal things while they were incarnate?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The first two entities mentioned made little use of these abilities consciously. However, they were bent single-mindedly upon service to self, sparing no efforts in personal discipline to double, re-double and so empower this gateway. The third was a conscious adept and also spared no effort in the pursuit of service to self.
And 3DM, I just wanted to throw this question at you for some insights, as you are deeply interested in the astrological disciplines.
Astrology is study of Time too, isn't it? Can you highlight how the motions of the planets and the stars impact the energies that flow into the life of an individual at various times/phases through the span of time on earth?
I would like to try to understand a bit, the correlation between time, freewill and predetermination.
