Embracing Your True Self: A Journey Through Free Will and Inner Guidance

Several times a month, I host the Vagrein Café for members of the Vagrein Membership site. It's a live, heart-forward gathering where we sit together, share what’s alive in us, and receive clarity around many topics Vagrein is sharing with us. It’s equal parts spiritual salon, coaching circle, and soul family reunion.

A few weeks ago, the Café moved from sound frequencies to the pricklier territories of anger, sorrow, ideology, and the endlessly slippery idea of free will.

What came through wasn’t a checklist of notes but one clear message:

Life becomes lighter when you align with what’s true in you and let life move from there.

Understanding Free Will

Vagrein often reminds us: free will is simply the option to resist your inner guidance.

By that logic, we don't really have any choice at all at some point BUT to be ourselves, do we?

When you stop resisting, choices don’t disappear exactly; you just stop struggling. You just KNOW. Life flows. You still live your individuality, but with a kind of ease that feels almost inevitable.

I've lived as much as possible from this place for a while now. I can tell you the desire to resist oneself is always lurking. But the benefits of diving in and having faith that whatever created you is also what's guiding you moment to moment is a completely transformative way of being.

Anger is a Fire, Not a Failure

As a Manifestor, my “not-self” theme is anger. So, I know this terrain well.

Anger, used well, is information plus energy.

It tells you: “Something here wants to be improved, and I have the power to do something about it.” It can forge, create, and purify.

Where we get into trouble is when anger is used to cover sorrow or when hatred takes its place.

Hatred convinces us we’re righteous while quietly shaping us into the very thing we think we’re fighting. Yikes. If you look around at the world at the moment, doesn't it seem to be those who are shouting the loudest that someone else is doing wrong who are also those who will bend the furthest from their own values and integrity to prove it?

Boundaries? Yes. Self-defense? Of course. But energetic obsession with enemies? That’s poison. Every enemy is simply another version of you.

There's zero new about any of this. I'm gonna pop a Bible quote in here because I like the imagery, and it really conveys the point.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” -Matthew 7:3–5

Just another reminder that it's always an inside job... which leads us to:

Ideology vs. Integrity

One of our participants said it beautifully: “Intelligence ends where ideology begins.”

Ideology, here, isn’t about left vs. right; it’s any rigid framework that demands a permanent villain.

I had a weird experience of this this week. In my son's group chat, a mother was sharing her disappointment that she couldn't join a political rally. Another mother consoled her: "Don't worry. Luckily, we will have many more occasions to fight for peace! You'll just join next time!"

And that is the case, isn't it? As long as you're determined to fight, you need someone or something to fight against. The overlooked element was the delight they were experiencing. Only having a villain in a war allowed them the emotions they gained from believing they have to fight for peace.

Integrity asks simpler questions:

• What is mine to do here, now?

• How do I stay aligned with love in this actual moment?

  
  

Integrity might be boring. It often doesn't look like shouting in the street. It might be helping someone cross it.

That’s where your power lives. That’s where reality listens.

A Shift in the Collective Consciousness

There’s also something new moving in the field.

A musing from Vagrein: if humanity collectively renounces free will—either through stopping resistance to inner guidance or by violating the free will of others to such a critical mass that the rules can no longer apply—the “rules of engagement” with other civilizations may shift.

Does that mean that 3I/Atlas is indeed an alien craft? Who knows? Because free will and the law of confusion, at least at the time of writing this, are in place. But whether or not anything spectacular happens “out there,” the invitation “in here” remains the same: align, listen, respond, serve.

So, what do you choose? Let me know in the comments; here, there is lots of food for thought.

A Gentle Challenge

For the next 24 hours, notice each time you say “I will.”

Pause.

Place a hand on your belly.

Let those words remind you of your inner power not to push life but to align with it.

Conclusion: The Path to Personal Transformation

In this journey of self-discovery, we often find ourselves at a crossroads. The choices we make shape our reality. By embracing our true selves and aligning with our inner guidance, we can navigate life's challenges with grace and purpose.

As we explore the depths of our emotions, we learn that anger can be a catalyst for change, and integrity can guide us toward a more fulfilling existence.

Let’s continue to engage in this dialogue, sharing our experiences and insights. Together, we can foster a community of growth, understanding, and transformation.
