A Little More on Choices

At any moment you have a choice that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Before I leave Step Six behind...I want to write a little more on the possibility of metaphysical choices that were made long before we show up here in physical form.  I understand that many of you will have a hard time with that possibility...goes against what you may have been brought up to believe.  I just want you to imagine, if you can, what it would mean if it were true.

If you chose what body you would show up in...how it would look, how it would feel, if it would last for 90 years or 10, if it would suffer with pain or be so physically fit it would constantly adorn medals around its neck, if it would starve or be overfed, if it would be underweight or overweight, tall or short, fully abled or limited...if you chose that...who would you have to blame for realizing you were in that body?

Would you not put away the notion of blame, judgement  and learn to accept...knowing that there was a higher reason for this choice?

Would you not question that, though your body may differ from others, that it was perfect just as it is to God and the world beyond form...after all it was something you chose! ? Would you not embrace your body and the circumstances you find yourself in instead of hating and resisting?  Would you stop regretting and resisting what is...and see it being exactly what it is meant to be...heck...what you asked for?

If we looked at who we are right now in physicality, where we are, what shows up in our lives...as  choices we have made for a higher purpose would we not be happy with our lives?

Hmmm!  Just something to think about.

All is well in my world!
