Crossroads to...
CHOICE, by definition means a fact or instance of choosing or deciding upon as what's best to take, do, etc; the voluntary act of selecting or separating from two or more things that which is preferred; the determination of the mind in preferring one thing to another; Care in selecting; judgment or skill in distinguishing what is to be preferred. Choice is synonomous with Alternative, Option, Preference, and Decision. Choice is derived from 'choisir' which means to perceive...
On a more symbolic level, CHOICE has meanings of walking into the 'Unknown', or crossroad most often seen as an image of human fear and hope at the moment we have to make such a vital decision. Everyday we have choices, we may not like what they are, but we can choose how we will react. If we do not choose what we want in our lives, then life will ultimately decide for us - and, if we don't like how it was chosen so far, we are sure not going to like what it has in store for our future.
Few people really think that they have a choice - and it may appear that way - unless we are fighters, rebels and/or peaceful warriors. Warriors do not agree with everything they see and hear, just to be one of the crowd, they think and act for themselves, developing muscles and the strength to swim upstream and with the mental and spiritual power that comes with it - we accept and reject, even change the way we look and find solutions we never knew could possibly exist.
CHOICE in the healing process is simply to become aware of, know, or identify by means of your senses to apprehending the proper questions and answers towards envisioning the most direct route to your goals and understanding fully the consequences of healing actions and reactions.
We are bombarded physically with millions of stimuli on a daily basis, our central nervous system and sensory organs function in such a way as to choose and process only those stimuli that reinforce what we already believe about ourselves, what we were exposed to in our earlier years, unless we consciously change the effects of our early programming. "Garbage Messages" are statements, judgments, phrases and the like, that unthinking, un-mindful, well-meaning, uneducated and somewhat egotistical humans have told us throughout our childhood and adolescent years, to steering us towards adulthood, according to their truth or experience.
The intention behind the creation of this site is simply to provide you with the tools and information that I have found to be helpful in my personal journey, to dispelling the FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) and complacency of those who "Know what's BEST for us"...
Nowhere to Here and Now
Elsewhere from here, in another time and place,
I answered to the once angered and battered face;
Inherently challenged to adhere to the sphere
Of influences bereaved of love and thrive upon fear;
Hindered from growth in a long funereal serenade,
Of loud jeremiads and insincere promises made;
Considered being cornered to becoming austere,
I administered every addiction, overestimating years;
Realizing one day I mattered, a ceremony was recovered,
As I conquered the fear, and severed all chains discovered;
A conference with serendipity and so many answered prayers,
Now guides my serene reverence to revealing each mastered layer.

External Forces or power is guidance from a dominant cultural view: the family, the neighbors, the local community and/or government, the media, the medical community, the psychological community and the religious community. Internal Forces or power is "YOUR" spirit, your ability to trust your instincts or intuition - generally knowing your 'gut feelings' about someone or something to being accurate information regarding whether or not we are safe and whether or not we are being lied to. Knowing that when we do not heed the warning or message the first time, we will generally get hit harder the next time. Our inner power is mediated via our thoughts, emotions, dreams, senses and bodily feelings, designed to act as receptors and transmitters for energy and information. Living in touch with our inner power/guidance involves feeling our way through life, using ALL of ourselves to make conscious changes and choices in our lives, behavior, relationships with others and health.
