I was just meditating on the contemplation of choices in my life, and this happens to be the feed in Openhand. Quite interesting! Yes, I do get that there is only one true choice we can make, which is whether to align with the soul or not. In my life, at the moment I'm getting some bottlenecks of confusion about whether to make this choice or that choice. And this is with seemingly simple things, whether to have breakfast or fast and meditate, whether to accept the invitation to go out with friends or not. These kinds of things. It's not easy as the soul gets confronted with different choices other people are making as well. Indeed, it helps to know that there is no need for regret; simply make the choice and bring awareness to why you made that particular choice.

We do say that the spiritual journey is straightforward. But I think at times, the path is not straightforward. Because it's easy to make misaligned choices.

This stood out from the article.

However, if you bring awareness into all the choices you daily make, then a lot of this complexity will start to naturally fall away, because the inner density that requires some external 'fix' starts to unravel. You find a natural pull to simplify your life.

Yes, some of the easy choices, are fixing the inner density. It's only because of an attachment to feeling a particular way, light instead of dense, creative and purposeful instead of tired. The choices arise when the entities in the field project imagery inviting me to particular behaviors, all the while I'm sitting in the center, not giving in to that. All they are providing is a temporary fix. But curiosity surpasses the need to fix it. I'm interested to know what the blind spot is through which they have come in. Through this exploration, I'm becoming aware of a subtle self-expectancy to be and feel a particular way and judgment that one state is better than the other. It's helping me to lose any expectations and simply drop into the place of observer. Great peace comes with that!

I think this is also what happens when so much energy is cooped up in a box, the human vehicle, which is expected to perform/behave a certain way. Finding aligned expression in such a complex place is a monumental task.

What greatly eases my journey is realizing, that life is not about feeling a particular way or creating any particular thing; it's more about learning. The way I'm feeling now is exactly what I need to learn something crucial about myself, so let's not be in such a hurry to fix it to have an alternate reality. Instead, there is a level of curiosity to explore what I'm being shown about myself here. And what needs to be created, if at all, will simply flow from the exploration and arising beingness. So trust is being invited to express itself through the bottlenecks.
