What's In A Choice?

Dear Friend,

You come to me, your friend, with the truth of your life circumstances, laid open and vulnerable in your hands. You have exposed them for my advise? Critique? Reprimand? I am not your judge and will try my best to not ever find myself in a place of judgment against you or anyone else. What seems clear to one is not always clear to another. So, I can’t make to you the “obvious” recommendations. What I CAN do, is explain to you – very generically and generally – what the meaning is of the big picture.

CHOICES

Life is full of choices. They are OUR choices. …choices. When we make the choice, we are making an agreement to have certain life experiences. We agree to have life experiences because there is something to be learned from the experiences. There are certain strengths that are acquired during this experience-having that help us along our individual spiritual path.

Some of the acquisitions don’t seem to feel good or right or righteous. The bible refers to them as sins. The world refers to them as consequences. I refer to them as rewards. Yep… even if they have the characteristic of a sin … this, to me, is a reward! Wouldn’t you agree? I mean, if you make certain choices… knowing the risks, knowing that it goes against what you feel is right for you… but you make the choice anyway, you ARE assuredly REWARDED with the appropriate outcome.

You have just acquired another learning experience! Hallelujah! The Creator lives! The Spirit is still alive within us! We know this, because this is the promise that was recorded as such in the bible, “…reap what you sow”…. Spiritualists have inclusion of this understanding in the concept and philosophy of Karma, it is the yin and yang of other eastern spiritual paths. It is interesting that so many different religions follow the same or similar spiritual paths. Maybe some dot their “i’s” from underneath and cross their “t’s” with a slight slant - but I know it’s an “i” and I know it’s a “t” !

Once you’ve had the experience and you proclaim that you have made a mistake… a mistake for you and for your life (other’s may prefer the outcome), the Creator is so good, that you will be given a re-test.

Sometimes the re-test is easier because you’ve been thru the test so many times it’s not worth the effort of making it difficult because you should now be a professional at this experience that has continued being a repetitious loop in your life story.

Other times there seemS to be tricky nuances that have been added into the same ol’ - same ol’ drama because the haughtiness of our "I’ll-never-make-that-mistake-again-because-I-KNOW-WHEN-TO-STOP-next-time" attitude… you know… the ego and lack of humility creates an environment ripe with Advanced Opportunities in the life experience that we continually choose and continually claim an aversion to the just reward.

So girlfriend, you continue to allow "your members to be at war". It is your allowance. It is your choice. The outcome will also be yours – YOUR reward, that is.

With Love,
shYne
