The Pretensions of Choice


When life throws at you
A basket of choices

You dig into its depth
Fooled and ‘buffooned’

Choices that are myths bundled into mirages
Choices that float and burst at the touch of reality

The word ‘choice’ left meaningless as destiny and fate make your life!

So wrote Devi in her blog.. http://deviharidas.blogspot.in/2014/09/the-pretensions-of-choice.html#comment-form

True we do not choose to be born, live, suffer or die but don't we have choices in life? When there are different alternatives aren't or do'nt we choose one of these choices:-) When my father was ill, we tried treating him at the best doctors around, but in the end had no choice but to let him go...

In the dream it seems like we have many choices, such as whether to have spaghetti or fish filets for dinner, or whether to turn right or left at an intersection. But do we really?

Even though we think we are making choices and have a certain amount of control over our lives, our conscious mind is actually along for the ride, while the unconscious mind creates the entire dream we experience through the power of choice, even when we don't fully realize what we're choosing.

The power of choice involves directing our attention. Your Emotional state will tell you what your are choosing.

For those who belive in God it is clear that he does give us a choice which is an essential part of how he works with us; He did not, for instance, make it impossible for Adam and Eve to reach the forbidden tree (which He could have done), but advised them to keep well clear of it.

Is it all Fatalisam? Are all our choices already decided?
