THE JOURNEY: CHOOSING LIFE

13. Living the choice: The purpose of life is growth. “During the journey of growth we may have to confront the structure of values we’ve been living by, the relationships and jobs we’re in. Growth is not risk-free or guaranteed to be joyful. We may have to make some major changes; we may hurt or disappoint people near to us. Taking such risks is painful and scary.”

What are you willing to risk in order to choose life and growth?

The following chart has been used in seminars to illustrate the path of life and love, individuation and the path of sickly selfishness and alienation. If we fail to grow we begin to stagnate and deteriorate, no matter how good we are at presenting the public face we’re hiding behind.

The choice is yours. Which do you choose?

The journey of self-knowledge, self-love, and building a life of substance enables you to glimpse that everything fits together and in the midst of seeming chaos there is Divine order. You are experiencing the mystery of life, the life force, the Divine, and yourself at the deepest level.
