Right Choice: "If I Want to Feel Good I Pray" - (2634)

In a documentary I was watching once about the Amish cultiure, a teenage girl was explaining why teenagers go out on the town, drink, go to bars and clubs and behave in the wreckless way that they do. The teenage girl said that they basically do that sort of thing to ‘feel good’, to ‘feel happy’, ‘to enjoy life’.

Then an Amish teenage girl said if I want to feel good and happy I pray!

How marvelous is that! Here we have the search for the same value. One seeking it through the outside means of ‘life’ using the wreckless, the dangerous, drink others etc. and another seeking it through the Being, through God.

Always the one value can be sought in two ways - duality at work in creation.

Awakening we are taught is to be able to chose.

There is always a choice, between the internal - the inner Being and its self-edifying, self-dignifying and renewing means and the outside – ‘life’ with its consuming, exhausting means.

End (2634).
