Decisions

I believe in reincarnation.  I believe that plentiful evidence supports it, although I have no inkling what or who I may have been before, and really don’t care.  I would submit that in most lives, no major decision points are reached.  You are born, work, reproduce, work more, age, then die.  Your spiritual standing likely improves a bit, but not much in most lifetimes.

Occasionally, though, you live in a time where decisions have to be made.  You have to choose up or down, and the consequence of choosing “not up” is not the same as not having been asked to choose.  When you encounter light, you either embrace it or reject it.  There is no middle ground.  To be shown the path forward is simultaneously to see its opposite.

What you are asked to do, you either do, or reject and resent.  The universe is fair, but sometimes it asks something of you.  Sometimes you need to be determined to do the right thing, instead of just floating along, neither good nor bad, neither decisive nor indecisive, neither helping much nor hurting much.

This is one of those times.  You can’t not make a decision.  If you have chosen to reject knowledge, you have rejected truth, and you have rejected light.  I say this not as a dogmatic anything.  I say this not as the adherent of any religion. I don’t even say this in a spirit of hate, although anger is certainly close to the surface for me because of all the preventable suffering I see coming.

I say this because I believe it is true, and truth is something that should be shared.
