How to Make Decisions that Really Work
By:Peri Enkin
One part of us wants comfort and safety and abhors change or challenge. Another part wants to try new things and is a risk-taker. One part of us is boring to the other parts. Another part frightens the rest of us. Inside we all have a community of bullies, sweethearts and creative geniuses. Sometimes it feels as if there is a battle going on and we wonder which part of us will win.
The human personality is a collective of characters, not one singular characteristic. We make different decisions and take different actions depending upon who is in the drivers seat on any given day. So which part of us gets to make our decisions? Which part of us knows what is best for us? Which part can we rely on and trust? How do we sort it all out?
Well, it really is not a matter of sorting through anything at all. As Einstein so powerfully explains: We cannot solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created the problem in the first place. Growth is called for, not figuring things out.
It really does not matter what decisions we face. And it does not matter whether the decisions we face appear to be big ones or small ones like these: Should I move from this home to another one? Should I marry the guy from Brooklyn or the one from British Columbia? Should I wear red shoes or white ones? Any one of these questions can drive us crazy. Personally I know this! If you have a strong personality with strong preferences you know this too. You want to live true to your own nature. You want to be your best authentic self and make the best choices possible. Any and all decisions can feel huge to you. So what are we humans to do?
Well, as Einstein suggests we need to move to a different level of consciousness. The old human does not understand this. It has opinions and is glued to them. It has feelings and is regularly carried away by them. And if its own thoughts and feelings do not provide comfortable answers it has other people it can consult with until it finds someone that offers the advice it most wants to follow. When it comes to making meaningful and soulful choices this is exhausting and less than satisfying and yet we all do it.
So if we are not going to make our choices from this ordinary human perspective what is the alternative? The new human stretches beyond what it already knows to connect with the spiritual. Instead of grasping and clinging to the horizontal worldly perspective it turns within and goes vertical instead.
By releasing our focus on the physical world, even for a few minutes each morning and evening, we open up a whole new field of awareness. When we deliberately cultivate a personal relationship with our own Higher Self this field of awareness becomes more accessible. With practice we can learn the language of our own Higher Self. And when we do, we receive guidance that cannot be found elsewhere.
This is the evolutionary process that is occurring for many people on the planet today. We are each, in our own way moving from our ordinary human perspective to a new extraordinary one. The new human is stepping forward as a whole person -aligned and connected to its greater Spiritual nature.
Choices made from this whole person perspective feel full in the body. They resonate within the heart and appear as creative solutions to ordinary problems. They feel like solid inner knowing. Yes, it takes practice to learn the language that our own Spiritual Self uses to deliver inner knowledge to us. And it takes even more practice to trust the messages we are receiving and to act upon them. Becoming a whole person is a process -that feels liberating and exhilarating. I will wear gold shoes today. I have an inner knowing about it!
