Choices (Originally Published 1/21/2021)

"It is wise to learn the laws we set into motion by the choices we make. "

-Course in Miracles


We live in a world of spectrums, where the possibilities along any path stretch from one oblique corner to its furthest polar opposite.  Don’t believe this statement?  Just look around.  Republicans or Democrats?  Need a lockdown, or lockdowns don’t work.  Cold or warm?  Night or day?  Sterile or fertile?  Rich or poor?  Happy or sad? 


Ancient Chinese tradition calls the phenomenon of opposites, Yin-Yang.  Yin–Yang is defined as two energetic forces that create and manifest a duality of energetic interactions.  Every torso organ in your body has an opposing or complementary organ that supports each other in their operations.  Holistic healers understand the power of opposites or polarity when looking to move energy in and around the body. 


I remember an acupuncturist asking me about my diet.  At the time, I was a vegetarian, and my diet consisted mainly of cold salads.  She told me that my liver and gallbladder were complementary organs and that one liked cold food and the other liked warm food.  Putting only cold foods into my body caused the warm food-loving organ to be bullied by the cold food-loving organ.  Really?  My gallbladder is bullying my liver?!? 


I changed my diet to incorporate warm and cool foods together at the same meal, and voila!  Instant health. 


I’ve been writing a book on Crystals for the last five years.  One of the chapters is about the Earth elements – metal, air, fire, water, and Earth.  In the Earth Element chapter, I describe how these states of matter came together to form planet Earth as we know it today.  Every cell in the human body, all plants, insects, reptiles, etc., all contain aspects of the five Earth elements in varying degrees.  I found it fascinating that although the Earth elements were the basis our planet’s CREATION, they are also responsible for destroying our planet.  Consider this: metal is hostile to wood, wood fights earth, earth conflicts with water, water puts out the fire. 


Herein lies the create – destroy – create cycle that is the basic design of the planet of infinite spectrums – Earth. 


If you can’t wrap your mind around this truth, read no further.  You will only become cynical and judgmental.  Who needs cynicism and judgmental thoughts lurking in the mind where their spectrum energies, trust and acceptance are far more productive? 


For the sake of argument at this point, let’s now agree that planet Earth’s complete design revolves around the create – destroy – create cycle.  We are surrounded by nature that proves this truth.  Think of the four seasons. 


Spring starts the cycle of creation.  Summer shows off spring’s creation with beautiful fruit and flowers, abundant leaves, new animal life, etc.  Fall produces a harvest, the final chapter in the create cycle.  Winter shuts things down as heavy winds come in and blow seeds – in – waiting to their new resting grounds, providing rest from the intense Sun of summer and creating a hibernation effect that can be likened to destruction.  


Thankfully, in time spring ushers in the create cycle again.  We don’t seem to resist the implications of nature’s create – destroy – create with the four seasons, but I would hazard to say that when the create – destroy – create cycle is applied to our savings account, our relationships or the best-laid plans of mice and men,  depression, grief and anger might be quick to set in. 


Whether it’s politics, lockdowns, or business success, the choices you make about these matters will be the basis of your understanding and acceptance with the grace of the “destroy” part of the create – destroy – create cycle.  Soulful choices can only lead one to “peace within the cycle” – the goal of living on planet Earth where we all live in a world of opposing spectrums. 


We may not have a hand in controlling the create – destroy – create cycle of our lives, but we DO have a hand in the content of the cycle: our choices!  Every choice we make (to share or horde, to love or hate, to forgive or resent, to help a worthy cause or be a nuisance to the cause) becomes part of the design of our own create – destroy – create cycle. 


Most of us are in the “winter” of many things right now.  What thoughts are you harboring that will add to the future of your individual “creation” cycle?  What actions are you taking that are cementing your future?  The rhythm of your life is in your hands.  Don’t take that power lightly! 

 

Affirmation: As I await on my creative cycle to manifest, I think and speak words of acceptance for what is at the moment.
