The Problem of Free Will in a World Where None Are Safe Until All Are Pecked

7/28/2021

It is increasingly evident that the peck mandates and compulsory pecking have become the primary objectives of the birdemic. With this in mind, the global diktat of "none are safe until all are safe" has now evolved to the more specific "none are safe until all are pecked."  

The Establishment is briskly reorganizing and retooling the System in pursuit of universal, compulsory pecking. A quick scan of current headlines reveals the mechanisms of private-public partnership are swiftly clicking into gear to generate circumstances in which the peck will become unavoidable for most people.

Lock out measures are intensifying. Refusing the unpecked access to cafes, theaters, and museums is no longer adequate. More obviously needs to be done. Hence, schemes to deny the unpecked access to employment and basic social services are spreading across the globe quicker than the latest Greek letter "variant" of the birdemic.

I note the above not to scaremonger, but to draw attention to the ever increasing likelihood that we may all soon once again find ourselves in "un-free" circumstances in which we will be forced to choose rather than being free to choose.

Conversely, some of us may find ourselves in circumstances in which we have no choice at all other than to have the prescribed "choice" forced upon us. 

Either way, I believe it is crucial to recognize and understand the distinction between doctrine of free will and authentic spiritual freedom within the context of such "un-free" circumstances. 

Free will is only "free" if choices and decisions about external factors emanate "freely" from the internal and if a choice for Good is accessible. More plainly, being forced to choose between options that are externally thrust upon us by force and/or necessity is not an authentic exercise of free will because the exercise itself has been stripped of all spiritual creativity and dynamism.

There is nothing free or willed about being externally forced or necessitated into choosing between two evils without being offered the possibility of making a real external choice for Good.

If you are told you will lose your job should you not take the peck, you cannot truly exercise free will in any meaningful capacity because you essentially have been forced into making a decision regarding two involuntary, evil choices.

You don't want to be forced out of work (a coerced evil choice that immediately affects the material situation of you and your loved ones), but you also don't want to take the peck (a coerced evil choice driven by the obviously evil motivations of the ruling elite and their demonic overlords).

If you choose to be forced out of work, you may feel you are making the right choice from a spiritual perspective, but it would be a stretch to refer to this right choice as a display of free will.

At the same time, if you choose to take the peck to keep your job, but repent your decision, you may be making the wrong choice spiritually, but your sincere repentance ensures that you remain firmly grounded on the side of God and Creation.

Though the repentance is necessary and Good in itself, it would be too much to label it an exercise in free will because you were basically coerced into the sin for which you are repenting.


Free will only becomes authentic spiritual freedom if it is rooted in a purely internal, willed choice for Good. Moreover, that this choice for Good is made for the sake and value of the Good itself rather than as a mere means through which to choose the lesser evil when presented with nothing but evil choices.

For example, if a person chooses to follow Jesus and believe on Jesus, he or she is making a true "free will" choice because the decision itself is based on internal rather than external factors.

The individual is not forced or coerced into making an either/or choice with no option for Good, but freely makes the decision for the sake and value of the Good.

Put another way, the decision is inspired by the positives of following and believing on Jesus rather than on the negatives of not following and not believing on Jesus. 

Authentic spiritual freedom is the ability to actively and willfully decide what is Good and evil, and to decide this from the free heart of the Divine Self with Christ as its guide.

Something to bear in mind should any un-free, peck mandate circumstances arise in the coming days/weeks/months.

Thanks for this - it helped trigger a post at my blog amplifying on the peck agenda, as I understand it.

https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2021/07/an-ongoing-world-system-of-mandatory.html

What I find strange is that - even after a year and a half of creeping totalitarianism - people still treat each step as if things will end afterwards ("Just take the peck, for Heavens sake, and we can all get one with life!")- and completely fail to see where the intention is to take us; despite this being made explicit (at least in outline) in (eg) The Great Reset and Agenda 2030.

It is an aspect of the mental disorder consequent upon atheism-materialism-leftism. For example, blogger the Z Man - who is very insightful about little things in modern life - is doing post after post, day after day explaining why there is Not a conspiracy; because every individual step can be explained on the basis of ruling class ignorance, stupidity and spite. Post after post saying leftism is a religion and all religions are bad - without ever exposing or discussing his own fundamental metaphysical assumptions (which are exactly the same as the leftists he attacks) - whether the assumptions cohere and lead to what he would regard as good outcomes.

These times really are an extreme and incrementally-increasing learning-experience. At some point, everybody will be compelled to acknowledge they have made mistakes, duped and been made fools of.

It is *possible* (I don't know for sure - nobody does except at the very top of the Establishment) that the *whole* birdemic is based on nothing at all - just relabeling and fake-testing.

The Z Man has been relatively insightful about the birdemic, one of the few people who saw through it from the start (in stark contrast with other pundits on the "dissident right" who surrendered to shameful hysteria and in many cases, continue to do so). However, as you pointed out, he continues to insist that there is no "conspiracy." As far as I can tell, he seems to believe that the birdemic crisis was and is a case of blind panic, incompetence and opportunism.

Another thing about the Z Man is that, while he is generally good about diagnosing problems, he offers absolutely no solutions aside from some vague idea of a white racial awakening. This is just wishful thinking and incoherent. It's interesting to read otherwise intelligent people who have a God-shaped hole in their worldview.

Oddly, Peter Hitchens takes a similar view to the Z Man regarding the birdemic, despite being a Christian and opposing the panic from the start. Hitchens is extremely dismissive of any conspiracy explanations, instead attacking official incompetence and "folly" - a position that seems increasingly ludicrous to me in light of the global, coordinated and sustained nature of these "interventions."

I'm glad to be in a situation (currently) where I am under no pressure to get the injection. For many or most, that is increasingly not the case as mandates take shape at corporations, government agencies and universities. Many people are now taking the shot because the financial and professional costs of not doing so are immense.

I have long believed that an injection mandate would be a "red line" that would result in serious unrest as that would simply go "too far" for most people, but the signs are not very encouraging as we rapidly move towards a quasi-mandate in which the injection (or rather, one of many injections, as Dr. Charlton points out) is not legally required but it is basically impossible to function in society without it.

If people had their spiritual priorities in order, I don't think they would tolerate this situation for one minute. Perhaps the most maddening aspect of the whole fake emergency is how ridiculously easy it would be to end it, through any number of peaceful and legal means, if that is what the public wanted. We do not (yet) in the West live in a hard totalitarian regime where dissenters are dragged off to gulags, tortured and killed. The people pushing this nonsense are outnumbered thousands to one. It would be pathetically easy to stop this train, and yet we do not. That is to me the most frustrating thing.
