First Choice
We made the first choice in this world of duality when we chose to be a man or a woman and have a life experience.
But the first step to understanding that you are one, you are whole is to realise that you exist because your shadow side does as well. It is not in opposition to you but acts as a foil for the light of you to shine.
Let me explain. If you have incarnated as a male – your shadow side is your inner female and vice versa.
This shadow side is where you filter your unconscious thoughts, beliefs and then respond to them with your emotions and actions.
Often the shadow will hold your heritage – the patterning you have agreed to be this lifetime – your non-physical DNA if you like. The impact of this DNA is profound. It acts as a magnet to attract experiences to you so that you can find out or become conscious of your thoughts and feelings.
It is only when you begin the journey to consciousness that you will understand the concept of choice and co-creation of your personal version of the universe.
Most people choose to learn this through pain and suffering, but it could so easily be learned through joy and delight. Those who have been avatars or guiding lights through humanity’s history have tried to instill in their followers this understanding.
Even in this there is choice. The choice does not always lie with the event that happens to us (although through past actions we can influence these events.)
Where real choice lies, where our point of absolute power sits,
is in our choice of how we react to the event.
Hence we may have two people who have had their belongings stolen. Person A may react in fear and victim-hood demanding retribution whereas Person B may philosophically shrug their shoulders and say that they were glad to be of service to the thief. For the thief obviously had more need of their goods than they did.
These are of course extreme responses and the reality is often more complex than has been illustrated here, but the essence of the example remains.
We are always at a point of choice.
You may take all that is written here seriously and studiously and even questioningly
OR
You may approach it all with light-heartedness.
This too is your choice!
All is valid.
A heart that is filled with light knows love and
a mind that is serious and contemplative accesses wisdom.
What glorious gifts!
Who could want more?
For this is truth – that all routes of your individual journey bring you to who you already are – Love and wisdom.
There is nothing else.
Until next time
Bless-sings
