Right and wrong? — No decision saves or damns you.
In a world without the belief in good and evil, there is neither salvation nor damnation — there is only being.
“I choose to live through my feeling of preference in the moment rather than in relation to mental plans.”
The journey of awakening can be described in many terms and approached in many ways. At some level, it is always the stepping out of an aspect of perception created to polarize your experience of life by separating how you label its qualities. To understand that our perception does not have to be this way is to see that the idea of right and wrong is not something intrinsic to our reality but is, in fact, a twist in our perception that we have chosen to live within the experience of.
With this knowing of self, free yourself from the concepts of right and wrong and the more subtle, insidious concept of better and worse.
When reality presents you with a choice, and it does not seems clear which road to take, do not get caught up in the belief that there must be a right and wrong path. Free yourself from the idea that one path must be ‘the best’ (the ideal). To think in such terms is to create a reality where you are in jeopardy; a reality where choices are tests and — depending on your answer — you will be led to either a good or bad consequence.
This is not how the human experience needs to be. It is only ever you who makes it feel this way when you assign labels of right and wrong — or better and worse — to your choices. The human experience is not inherently negative.
You assign the meaning through which you experience reality; it is not the other way around.
When faced with a difficult choice, think of all options as leading to positive outcomes. Imagine all outcomes as containing aspects of joy, see how they are different, and select the one you want based upon the feeling of preference in your heart — not upon the logic of your mind.
Once you have decided, feel joy and confidence in your decision. Do not give your power away to doubt or fear of your decision. No decision can either save or damn you. In a world without the belief in good and evil, there is neither salvation nor damnation — there is only being. There is no such thing as a mistake.
Allow your trust in what you have discovered yourself to be to free you from the need to judge yourself or the choices that you make. Be free in the consideration of all options presented by your choices. Your will would not be truly free if right and wrong choices existed.
Meet yourself in freedom to see through the illusion of right and wrong.
CLARIFICATIONS & REFLECTIONS
The feeling that our choices are tests through which we lead ourselves to better or worse experiences of reality creates a complex set of emotions. These are encapsulated in the feeling of regret. To see a choice you have made with regret is to not see the choice, its result, or yourself clearly. The feeling of regret can only ever be the result of some level of unconsciousness.
We — as the one self — become human for the experience of it. It is not something done with a defined purpose. Being human is the evolution of our spirit through a focused experience. This evolution is always achieved because you cannot help but be changed by your experience — all change is evolution.
This is equivalent to the understanding that you cannot make a mistake observing yourself in a mirror. However you see it, whether you label it beautiful or ugly, spiritual or profane, is always the most pertinent way for you to perceive it. This is because even if what you see is negative or painful, that reflection is of an energy within you coming forward to be seen, known, and thereby transformed. Labeling the result of that observation as ‘a mistake’ is the act of someone resisting the change for which they, themselves, are reaching.
The feeling of judgment and the feeling of the qualities we label as negative are closely linked (recognize how they feel similar). In our exploration of the positive qualities that we seek to embody, we tend to reject whatever we see as being their opposite. In seeking to live healthily, we judge people we deem unhealthy. In seeking to be happy, we judge unhappiness to mean that someone is failing (because that is how we judge it in ourselves). In seeking to be kind, we harshly judge cruelty (as if we have never been or felt cruel ourselves).
This is a denial, as we know ourselves to have — at least sometimes — expressed both sides of all the polarities through which we perceive life. In this, realize how you do not need to judge cruelty in order to be kind. You do not need to judge hatred in order to be loving. The key here is to see that whatever you feel judgment for in others is also a quality of you.
Only through not judging others can we come to not judge ourselves.
