There Are No Wrong Choices

There are no wrong choices (c)2019 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

Looking back on our lives, it’s easy to berate ourselves for the mistakes we made. I should have stayed in school, I should have left that relationship, I should have been a better [fill in the blank].  

It can really mess up our present reality.  

We’re going through a collective evolution. As the greater light of Consciousness comes into form, it is revealing anything that is dark. As we grow in awareness, it’s hard not to judge ourselves for our past, when we were operating unconsciously.

Similarly, it can be easy to blame other people in our reality for our choices. We’re like this because our family had dysfunctional behaviors. 

We can get to one level by accepting the patterns we were born into, and accepting others that were entangled in those patterns. We can take responsibility for, and be more mindful of our present actions and reactions.

It helped me enormously to see myself and my family as actors in my life’s movie. And to know that at the end of filming, no matter what role they played in the story, we all got together for a wrap party. 

And yet there’s a perspective that’s a step or two above that viewpoint. 

When you recognize that you *are* the Consciousness that is coming into form, everything changes. The world is not just a movie with just a single story. It’s not just a mass, full immersion virtual reality game being simultaneously played by everyone on Earth.

To Consciousness, all lifetimes are happening at once. And for you with your particular storyline, all possibilities of it are running at the same time. That means you both did, and didn’t do, whatever egregious action you’re flagellating yourself for. You both succeeded and failed. You won and you lost.

You’re here and not here.

You happen to be experiencing this moment right now in this particular way, and you can go forward experiencing the next moment completely differently.

Imagine how your life would transform if you began making empowered choices as Consciousness rather than operating from guilt or fear? How your interactions with others would be different when you no longer blamed yourself or them?

For me it expands my compassion and my ability to express Love. 

Collective evolution happens as a wave, people stand up at different times. Imagine how the world will change when we all have moved to the next phase of existence. 

And it starts with each one of us shifting to operating as Consciousness.
