You essentially do three things in your life. Just Three. Everything else you do supports those three things. But you do them in an infinite variety of patterns.
- You make the choice to make no choice and let someone else choose for you.
- You make the choice deliberately or..
- You make the choice because you fear.
Sometimes your choices are destructive and sometimes helpful. The greatest participation you can have is the choice that you make. The least participation you can have is the choice that someone makes for you. And the worst participation you can have is the choice of fear.
Your entire life is structured around doing those three things, making those three kinds of choices. Nothing else matters to you. No wealth, no goal, no lover, no home, no child, no future, no past. Nothing else matters except those three type of choices.
They drive every one of your creative moments. They are part of the Soul’s choice and part of the body’s. They underlie you and you cannot do anything else. You eat so you can make those three choices. You procreate so you can make those three choices and provide a foundation where those choices are possible. They are your creative force and you use them, sometimes for joy. And when it doesn’t feel joyful or pleasant, it is driven by non-participation of some sort. Either non-participation with your own life or non-participation with life in general. Your participation means you get the joy. It doesn’t mean it’s always joyful for you, it does mean that there is always an opportunity for joy if you take it.
