Choice AND Consequences

If you are like me, you can think of some things you wish you did not do, some things that you wish you had done differently, some things that you did with the best of intentions that still turned out bad, and of course, some things you have done (hopefully a lot of them) that you are so glad you did. As the Mysterious Dr. M. points out in The Handbook, choice is the mechanism of our greatest opportunities and our greatest trials. The web of life, the Quantum Field that Dr. M. describes in the Handbook is so interconnected, interrelated, and interdependent that our seemingly simple choices can have always dynamic, and sometimes profound consequences. Something just came to your mind, didn’t it? The memory of some occasion when some seemingly simple or well-intentioned choice you made resulted in consequences that are still there in your mind today. Isn’t that how it is with us? Do you sometimes feel like you were thrown into a game of Choice AND Consequences? I sometimes wonder if our Ancestors and other Spiritual Beings are in their Realm cracking their sides (figuratively speaking) as they look down on our attempts to figure out the rules of the game. Do you ever get that feeling?

With some choices it is pretty easy to figure out that there will be bad consequences. At a certain age some stuff should just be obvious. Ignorance and bad judgment have to yield to a more severe crack in the person’s Ase Ami (Energy Signature) as an explanation for their choices. If you are like me, you probably avoid most of the obvious stuff and try to live – lets say, on the right side of the law and in the general good graces of the society. You definitely don’t go out of your way to attract bad consequences. But this game of Choice AND Consequences is real tricky, isn’t it? Example: You plan to go straight home and it feels right to you but at the last minute you decide to stop at the store. For a moment your Ori cuts through the chatter in your head and reminds you to go straight home but the chatter returns and you head to the store. Of course you get a flat tire on the way and spend the next hour or more worrying about things at home, trying to get your tire fixed, and repeating the infamous chant – If I had only listened to myself! If I had only listened to myself! If I had only listened to myself! And of course you also wonder if your Ancestors and other Spiritual Beings are in their Realm cracking their sides (figuratively speaking) and saying, we tried to guide you but you did not listen. You were not in Peaceful Space!

If you are anything like me what keeps you going are those occasions when the choices you make bring about Good Consequences, in the short or long term. Hey! Moving to Arizona wasn’t really something that I had planned out for years. I’d never been to Arizona! I had never thought about moving to Arizona until about six months before my family and I relocated. If you said the word Arizona to me when I was living in New York the only thing that would have come to mind would have been the legend of the Phoenix Bird. That’s it! But for me, it is one of those choices that changed the course of my life and brought about an abundance of good consequences. Over the years a few of the rules in the game of Choice AND Consequences have been discovered. One of them is that, because of the nature of the Quantum Field whenever you change a thing, you will change more than what you intend. It is the unintended consequences that we don’t anticipate and the negative unintended consequences that we most want to avoid. There are a few other important observations about the CAC game that I can share and hope that they help you in your own CAC process.

  • The Consequences of our Choices are not completely random or arbitrary.
  • Just as Bad Choices tend to attract Bad Consequences, Good Choices tend to attract Good Consequences.
  • Both Good and Bad Choices will produce unintended consequences.
  • The unintended consequences of Good Choices will tend to be positive just as the unintended consequences of Bad Choices will tend to be negative.

When I think of the Peaceful Space Project I see the Prime Directive as a way for us to gradually master the game of Choice AND Consequences. I mean individually and collectively. From the moment we come into this world until the moment that we leave our experiences will be defined by the Choices AND Consequences that each of us bring to our world as a whole. The Prime Directive is simple (not easy, but simple).

  • Seek pleasure and avoid pain for your self and others!
  • Convert negative energy into positive energy through your conduct in the world!
  • Nurture life and struggle against death for the welfare of the planet and the coexistence of all living things!

Seems like a set of Good Choices to me. What do you think? It is hard for me to figure out what the unintended negative consequences of the Prime Directive would be so I’m committed to the idea. Aren’t we already dealing with enough of the intended and unintended negative consequences of enough people’s Bad Choices? Dr. M. and the Enia’s message to U in the Handbook is RISE. Don’t wait for someone else to change our reality. A single gnat flapping its wings changes the configuration of the Universe. Isn’t it time we each act like we are the most important link in the chain and do our part to live and promote the Prime Directive for our own sake and for the sake of others?

The Choices that matter are the ones that bring a smile to your face, a warm feeling to your heart, and pleasant memories to your mind. They are the Good Choices that make a positive difference in the lives of others in some small way. Like when a student comes up to me after one of my classes and thanks me for something I said, or a video I showed, or a discussion I assigned. In those moments my face, my heart, and my mind witness that I’ve made a Good Choice and my Ase Ami are infused with positive energy and equally positive memories. I know in those moments that a positive Quantum Entity has formed between the student and me as Dr. M. describes in the Handbook.

What do our children think of the choices we have made and the ones we are making today? And what of those who will be born tomorrow into the consequences of the choices we are making today. Change can occur from the top down with effective leadership. But in the absence of leadership change must emerge from the ground up. And for any change to be of lasting consequences it must be seated in or seeded into the minds and hearts of the people. In a movement of the people everyone counts. Especially you!
