^
You have had to go an arduous way, before you were so far as being able to cover the last test of will – your soul has again found together, which was once dissolved into innumerable soul sparks, which all had to go through a process of maturation in the tied up state. You have again reached the consciousness of self; as individuals you are freely put before a decision: to choose that lord for yourselves, to whom you want to belong.
The remembering back of their course of suffering through matter has been taken from them, for in the freedom of the will they must make their decision and are not allowed to decide for the right lord out of fear.
Throughout endless times you moved in the bound state; all freedom of the will was taken from you; you were subordinated to the divine law and had to act so as God wanted it, as it had to go on according to the law of nature, to be in accordance of his plan from eternity. You were unfree – for your soul was bound in its individual substances in the works of creation; the whole creation is as it were the fetter, which kept your soul imprisoned; the whole creation is the bound spiritual, which is still in the will resisting God and for that reason can expect no freedom so long, until it itself lets up in this resistance against God. But once the time is come for all bound spiritual, where it is no longer in the mandatory state, where a certain freedom is granted to it, where it can think, want and act as individual being conscious of itself, without being hindered of it; once the time is come, where it has regained free will and can now use this free will unhindered.
