When
given the choice between ease and hard, the choice seems rather
obvious. Yet life as a personality is created through trial and error.
This implies that the choice, although obvious, is not the one always
made. Why? What compels the personality to effort and struggle? Why
would we as human beings of choice desire options that represent lesser
flow?
As personalities, we exist in polarity. We learn through
right and wrong. As minds, we categorize life events as good and bad.
When we step outside the confines of this polarity we have entered into
the domain of higher flows. It may be that our minds view a moment from
a larger perspective. Or that our hearts open to the compassion of our
Souls when faced with challenges with a loved one. But how can we make
this perspective common ground, a pervasive companion in our daily
lives?
To begin, we must first recognize that all of life is
choice. This choice may not always be conscious; it may exist outside
the boundaries of our awareness. It is, nevertheless, choice.
We
may choose the hard road simply because it is familiar. In some ways it
is easier to the mind to continue as it has always known a situation to
be, rather than changing the course of action. In this way we
persevere, often from the orientation of survival. We are in this
moment reaffirming our commitment to exist as personalities. We have
forgotten our alignment with higher consciousness.
When we step
outside this orientation, we are saying to the Universe, I desire to
create in a different way. The orientation of the Soul is to create
from a place of ease. Each time we, as personalities, use intention to
align with ease we strengthen our connection to our Soul. Each time we
recognize we have not made a choice consistent with ease, we provide
the opportunity to stop the habituated patterns and realign in the
larger flows.
Use the following exercise to deepen your
awareness to this evolving skill of consciously choosing the
orientation of ease. Begin with setting your intention each morning to
create with ease. Throughout the day, fall back and disconnect from the
busy pace of life. Take a few deep breaths and reconnect with your
intention for ease.
At the end of the day, reflect back on the
events that have transpired. How have the choices you have made today
added to the presence of ease? How have they detracted?
Each
time we recognize the choices the personality makes, both conscious and
unconscious, we learn about ourselves more fully. We may recognize that
we are not yet using all of our gifts. We may notice previously unseen
opportunities and open to the largeness of what waits. In this way, we
align with ease, we recognize choice and we expand our awareness to
include all the parts of who we are.
