the power of choice

a beautiful reality is knowing that nothing (no thing) has power over you other than what you allow.
often times we are so caught in our own bubbles that we forget that the universe is for us.
we make the choice to convince ourselves of a reality that doesn’t serve us. everything from this vantage point is difficult.
life becomes difficult.
i know you aren’t the type of person who wants to stay stuck in the trap (lack matrix) and that is why you are here right now. but every day is a choice. every day we are presented with love or fear, and every single day we get to choose which reality we want to live in.
mind you, things don’t always reflect the internal choice we make. some days we can choose life and death may visit us. and this is okay. when we are in lower emotional states, there is usually something that is asking to be cleared out.
choosing love over fear does not mean bypassing negative emotions. it just means using the power of choice not to be carried away by them when they do visit. we have to let shit come up (or down) if we want to release it.
we have to keep choosing love and choosing it consciously. we are in a world where there are 7 billion humans (all parts of the consciousness that gives you and i breathe) living out 7 billion different realities.
the human ego blinds most of these parts from seeing their connection with one another, hence the world that we presently live in.
but if we choose life/love over and over again sooner than later our external reality starts to reflect that. people start to love us. we find God in all places, waiting on our arrival.
it’s true that heaven really is right here, right now.
the only thing that blocks us off from our inner connection with God, is our refusal to let go of something that we don’t even have. (read that sentence again, it sounds crazy because it is). that something is ... control.
the downfall of human beings started with the illusion that they could control something outside of themselves. it never has been true and it never will be.
even though we are one with all things, we are each having an individual experience and in this experience, we have been granted free will. this means that we are able to experience this physical reality as we please, do what we want, say what we want, etc. as long as it doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s free will.
once we truly understand that we are the product of our own thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions, we can start to choose a different way.
most of us have been conditioned to choose fear.
fear is not a problem. without it we wouldn’t know the opposite of it, which is love. we have to move away from this concept that certain things are good and certain things are bad.
this in of itself is an illusion. fear can be a great thing because it provides contrast.
wherever you are in life right at this moment, remember you have been given a superpower.
the power to choose.
no one can take your power to choose from you. you can choose not to identify with your external circumstances which, because of the law of attraction, ends up changing them.
this concept is very much so presented in the book A Mans Search for Meaning by the great psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Dr. Victor Frankl. he speaks of his freedom to choose his thoughts and find something to be grateful for even in the horrific conditions of concentration camps like Auschwitz.
i read this book over a year ago and the lesson is still profoundly with me. it is a reminder of just how much choice really is a superpower and as long as we are not prisoners of our own minds, we will always have this power within us.
superheroes live in us. and superpowers are everyday virtues that only a few of the many possess. but before we can tap into any of it, we must use choice. and choice is a conscious continuous act.
every. single. day. choose. love.
