This is a concept that can be a tough pill to swallow. I, too, have had to learn and come to a more elevated internal understanding of the truth of my own personal power of choice. Choices that are made from the restrictive energy of fear have their own negative effect. Choices that are made from the energy of love create healing. It has been, is now, and continues to be, my choice to understand, All That I AM, in order to create healing. My heart encourages you to “choose” a path of elevated conscious awareness, and understanding, through knowledge of self.

As you explore the concepts of my healing truths within the pages of this book and perhaps find yourself saying, “This is crazy! No one can do these things. I can’t do this! I am too sick to do this. I don’t have the time to do this. I don’t believe these things. I am not ready to do something like this. Know, that is a normal reaction of your ego, but please, also understand, that readiness is defined by choice. As difficult as that may be to swallow, it is absolute truth. Everything in life is a choice, at all times. I have learned that there are no exceptions to this universal law of “Cause and Effect.” When I say to myself, “I can’t do this,” what I am really saying is, “I am choosing not to do this.” When I say, “I don’t believe that, because if that were true, medicine, or the church, or my teachers in school would have told me so, then I am accepting on blind faith, everything that I have been taught as being all there is.” I have learned that this kind of thinking, which is coming from fear, keeps an already closed mind, closed, and doesn’t allow for a new and more expansive way of thinking. Making the choice not to do something and not to accept something is “OK,” but I must be willing to acknowledge and accept that I am, in fact, the one who is making the choice whether to do a thing, or to not do a thing, and whether or not to open up mind or to keep it closed, and I am personally responsible for all choices that I make. No one else makes my choices for me, unless I ask them to, and even that is a choice I am making to give away my power of choice, perhaps to another individual, to an institution, or an organization, and this includes religion. When I give away my power to choose I am, in essence, conforming to the beliefs and dictates of another person, place, or thing, and allowing the thoughts beliefs, and the actions, of some one else, or some thing, to be in control of me, and my life.

Something that is unknown to us and therefore unfamiliar, frightens us, and within our mind our little ego begins to create resistance to (it) by telling us that it isn’t possible, or that we aren’t capable of doing it, perhaps because we believe that we aren’t smart enough, or possibly because we believe that no such thing exists, or maybe because we have a belief that, “Jesus is the only one who can heal me.” We make all of these judgments about what we can and cannot do, and wait for someone else to save us, to fix us, and to make us happy. This is the ego of self with its belief system of fear, kicking in, and controlling what we think, what we say, what we feel, what we are willing to do and not do, what course of action we will take or not take, and what we are willing to accept into our own mind as new thought, new concepts, new ideas, new ways of perceiving, interpreting, and understanding self, and all of life. “Choose” to be open, and free your mind, your heart, and your soul, in order to be all that you can be. The rewards are infinite.
