From Reactive to Free-Willed
★★★★★ 5/5
The book "From Reactive to Free-Willed" delves into philosophical and spiritual topics related to Free Will, Fate, and The Law of Karma, among others. It invites readers to live a life full of awareness and conscious choices, encouraging them to take responsibility for their lives and reconcile with themselves, fate, and life, ultimately making them more powerful and effective.
The book discusses how to transition from a state of being "Reactive" to being "free-willed." When we are in the "Reactive" state, we feel as though our will is taken away, becoming mere victims of circumstances, people, and external forces that push us in different directions. On the other hand, when we are "free-willed," we exist in a state of awareness where we take responsibility for our decisions and actions, gaining more control over our lives. This state requires a deeper awareness of our motivations and thoughts and relies on personal willpower, conscious choice, and an internal state of being.
This book explains the "Law of Karma," which states that every action we take, whether good or bad, will return to us in some form. Karma is not a system of punishment or reward but a natural law that restores balance and teaches us the responsibility of our actions.
Imad Sami Salman, the Author, provides methods and approaches for reconciling with fate or karma by understanding how our actions influence our lives and learning from our mistakes instead of resisting or feeling victimized by them. Reconciliation with fate means accepting responsibility for our actions and the consequences that follow, leading to a positive transformation in how we deal with life. Instead of viewing fate as an adversarial force causing difficulties, we can be Friend to it by adopting a more positive outlook on life. This shift in thinking can turn fate into an "ally" that guides us toward personal growth and development, as fate can be a teacher offering opportunities and lessons that help us evolve.
"From Reactive to Free-Willed" offers techniques for reconciling with life, whether it's filled with challenges or opportunities. Reconciliation with life means accepting our reality and working with it consciously instead of resisting it. The book encourages inner contentment and the belief that every event has a purpose and lessons to offer, viewing challenges as part of our spiritual and psychological growth journey. "From Reactive to Free-Willed" is considered one of the earliest self-development books published in the Arab world, aimed at improving self-awareness and enhancing our perspective on ourselves and life.
