Choice by Karmic Programming
When we are karmically programmed we feel strongly compelled and drawn to follow a certain decision. Even when there is a part of us that knows that there are other options which may be better...
When we take the side of what we are irresistibly compelled to, we feel convinced that we are the one making that decision with full freedom of choice.
We only really know that we decided based upon karmic programming until much after the decision has been taken.
It is usually upon reflection of the series of cause and effect that we come to know that it was programmed to be that way, and we just had to take that decision.
The other way we know that we were karmically programmed is when because of that decision we end up suffering. The clue is that we never made that decision to suffer yet precisely because of that decision we fell into a very karmic spate of difficult circumstances with all its sufferings.
Being karmically programmed to make a decision is in some ways easier. As the decision was already made for us and the Divine Law gives us the force to make it, follow through with it and suffer it.
Choice Free of Karmic Programming
A free decision - is one without karmic programming, where there is no impelling force to push us towards a particular choice. What is present is a sense of blankness or neutrality which automatically makes a person to look to find the best possible solution or choice.
The consciousness is neutral is happy in so many directions - which at first makes it confusing.
What is present instead of the karmically programmed mysterious impelling force, is the consciousness and various other factors such as: reference points (work, path and Being), esoteric principles and in general all that which must be taken into account while making a decision, such as commitments, other people, finance, current state of affairs in society etc.
Because there is no karma pushing a person either way, the consciousness must decide and opt for the most intelligent option.
There is only one thing that weighs down on a soul's freedom of choice. And that is responsibility. With such choices, it is the consciousness that must accept with responsibility the consequences of a decision taken wrongly.
We have been taught that with consciousness comes greater responsibility and therefore a greater intensity of consequences.
The Divine Law does not administer karma upon any "I" within us. The Divine Law administers karma upon the essence and the Inner Being, because it is the essence and the Inner Being that is the responsible one in all occasions.
Even if an "I" within us makes a wrong decision the whole of us, especially our essence, suffers the consequences. There is no escape for the essence when responsibility is relinquished.
Decisions without programming take a longer time to arrive at because there are much more real and viable possibilities to work through.
Under karmic programming there is little to no responsibility because one is not choosing, one's own karma has already chosen and one only partially knows what one is doing, because karma blinds our peripheral vision...
In the cases where there is no karmic programming the Inner Being will be with us either way...
Don't subject oneself to pressure and in some cases the will of the Inner Being may be overlooked once, twice, several times, however if one gives oneself time the will of the Inner of the Being, that which has depth of heart in us, will surface again and again in many subtle ways.
So speaks the voice of silence within our interior silence...
End (4954).
