The Mysterious Third Choice
Where there are no wolves . . .
The future is always an ominous thought away from those who feel uncertain about it. We feel uncertain because we are not in control of it or do not know how to engage with it to bring about the future we desire. It is always important to know that there is a difference between 'need,' 'want,' and 'know'. All three mean different things and have different outcomes. When we need something, it usually means we are engaged with our survival 'self', and even if that need is not necessary, such as food, a bed or a roof over our heads, it is still subjective and outside of our direct control. Of course, nothing stops us from stealing something to get what we need, especially if we are desperate or opportunistic.
When we want something, it usually involves 'lack'. To want something means that we do not have it already. The focus on that state of 'lack' would continue to produce that state of lack - true. It is our focus on having something already that attracts it to us.
When we know we have something, it does not need to be in our possession already. It is intuition and a direct state of mind when we know that the future moment has arrived in our consciousness before we experience the manifested objective or ideal. We are being shown that it is ours, and we can sit back and relax, knowing full well it will become a part of the present experience.
We have to decide if our future is negative and mediocre or positive and powerful. No one else can decide about that - only we can. If we do not make up our minds and we vacillate between the news and social media claims, we will always experience sitting on the fence and teetering towards both sides . . . almost falling off one way.
The real problem is that there is a future, and you are responsible for creating it. You are responsible for making it a positive future of ideas and dreams abundant with magic and miracles. It is up to you, individually and then collectively.
This future will not be given to you because you are good, give to the poor, or are a pure individual. Your soul, Higher Self, Holy Spirit, or the Source of your being will not make any decisions for you. They will not live your life for you - this is the agreement we all make coming into physical incarnation. You live your life based on your choices, and those higher aspects guide, help, intervene and influence. That is all. Your future is your choice.
You mustn't look around and conclude your life based on what you see in the moment, especially if your negative ego is leading the charge. It will simply condemn or praise you, and you will not make new choices because of the arrogance or misery you will feel. It is important that, despite your current lifestyle, environment and past choices, you honestly look at what you really want to experience. This is the moment that matters. Quiet the thoughts about what everyone else needs or wants and sit with yourself for one brief moment, and even if what you wish to experience seems impossible - do not allow that to enter your mind. Everything is possible with the right knowledge, understanding, guidance and help. Remember what I stated above?
'. . . those higher aspects guide, help, intervene and influence, that is all.
When you become clear about what you wish to experience (I have not stated the words 'need' or 'want'), then the higher aspects of the self can help, guide, and influence the direction taken. It may be immediate, or it may take some time because your experience is complex or because you insist on throwing a bucket load of negativity at your future. If you are patient, it will all come to pass . . . because you know it will.
Another part of all this involves the increasing influence of the future. Humanity is in a spectacular moment. If we make positive and inspirational choices, an established future already exists. When enough souls have dreamt of a future very different from the one currently being peddled by many talkers and platforms, it becomes 'known.' Remember what I shared about knowing what you want to experience? You have to know it to receive it.
Do you know the future that I am speaking about? The one where everyone feels that there is a win-win for all and that some do not have to lose whilst some gain everything. You are an expression of who you are becoming (future tense) and not a victim or reflection of who you have been (past tense). If you look around you and see what you are in this moment, you are looking at your past, and it will reflect all the thoughts you had and all the choices you made up to that moment.
We are not interested in the past! Look around you . . . the chair is the past, the window is the past, the house is the past, some of your relationships are your past, and your job is the past! And what if you decide to choose a future that is unlimited, enlightened, and thoroughly joyful - what will happen to all those things and people around you who belong to the past? They will shift and be with you in the future, or they will leave. How they leave will be up to the cosmos!
A couple of futures call for you to engage them (watch the politicians and those paid to be spin doctors), and many are mediocre or negative. Do not get caught up with them, no matter how convincing they sound and how confident they are that what they are stating is fact or truth. Truth is subjective! It is yours, and you can make your truth a positive one aligned with a positive future. Say 'no thank you' to every idea that does not sound like or present itself as a future you wish to experience. If you hear someone state, 'food shortages all over the globe', ask yourself these questions:
Is it negative or positive?
Is it the future that I want to experience?
Is what they are saying my deepest truth?
Even if food shortages occur, it may not happen where you are! It will arise where everyone is focused on it as an experience. What do you want to experience? We have a mass consciousness - an automatic nature that provides certain experiences even if you are sound asleep - and things will happen because most of humanity is sound asleep and being fed a storyline that keeps them progressing from birth to death - nicely.
Life is not simply safely reaching death!
But you are not asleep! You would not be reading my articles if you were. You are the future, sharing it with your words, thoughts and actions with those around you. Humanity is automatically calibrated to 'see' the past . . . to be beholden upon the past and all the agreements, promises, and obligations that it binds them to. Your chauvinism, judgments, criticisms, projections, assumptions, opinions, and ideas all stem from this automatically calibrated rhythm of unconscious reality creation.
We cannot fix everything. There are some things we have to learn, and then we change them.
We cannot move into a future where some are supreme, and the rest live, hoping not to die.
We cannot live at the expense of others.
We have to engage a different part of ourselves that does not include criticism, rationalization, intellectualization, and analyzing - it is our intuitive awareness.
This allows us to know.
Therefore, the mysterious third choice is not a choice at all. It is a decision and a commitment to a future that has not happened and may conflict with the automatic calibration of world affairs. It is what we know we will experience regardless of what is taking place all around us.

I loved reading this! It reminded me of something you wrote over a year ago when the details for Thailand were presented - just decide! Decide what you wish and trust and know it will come. It’s easy to slip into need and want if you aren’t watching yourself carefully but when focussed….prepare to be amazed by what you create and awed by the journey in getting there. 😊
What a beautiful reminder. Thank you.
