When it comes to spiritual practice, the power of decision cannot be understated. It is both central and immediate, with far-reaching implications. In short, it is huge.
The world seems to present us with many decisions: what to make for dinner tonight, Netflix or Hulu, chicken or beef, the list goes on. While it seems we face a million decisions, in truth we have one decision to make, and we have only two options.
Every moment of our lives, we choose either love or fear, light or dark, God or the ego, life or death, our higher Self or our cut-off little self, etc. This applies universally, i.e. to all of us, all the time, regardless of religious or spiritual background.
The choice we make then shows us more of the same. If we choose a fit of rage, we see a world enraged. If we choose love, we see a loving world. What appears to be outside of us reflects our choice back to us. What is really happening is that we are shaping our experience, based entirely on our choice in the present moment.
Our decision matters. The beauty of it is that when we discover we have chosen fear in the past, we always have the present moment to make a different choice. We can always choose Love. We have a continuous opportunity to do it again and again. The past is gone, after all.
