Saying Yes to Love

There is a choice that you have power to make when you have seen the real alternatives. Until that point is reached you have no choice.
(A Course in Miracles)

Isn't it always the case that when you look back you feel as if you have been asleep? I at least have that impression about my past. Do you know that brain imaging shows in decision times a light bulb going off moments before we are consciously aware of our decision? Are we all just taken for a ride in a massive virtual movie plot and we only think that we are in charge? Could well be. The bible says that Adam fell asleep in the Garden of Eden and nowhere does it say that he ever woke up.

Saying "yes" to the Way can be hard work, so I am pretty sure that once you are a spiritual traveler you have at least gained partial consciousness. Saying "yes" to love even though the "I" screams into your ears does take effort. While you think that you are abused when you reach that fork in the road, it is not so. All that you do is to stand up to your own interferences that have prevented you all the while to appreciate the Way. This agony is just temporary. Soon the decision for love and for life becomes automatic; a no-brainer really!
