All is Choice say the Michael Teachings

Some time in 2005 I attend a Past Life Regression workshop conducted by Dr K Newton of Hyderabad. Dr. Newton, is one of the most unassuming, humble souls I have come across. Both he and his wife, Dr. Lakshmi conduct several workshops on several new age subjects like Rebirthing, Inner Child etc. (See www.liferesearchacademy.com)

During the workshop he spoke to us of Soul Age and remarked that only Mature or Old souls would attend such a workshop! It felt great to hear that remark! He told us a little about Soul Age. The subject seemed awe-inspiring and fascinating. Thanks to Dr. Newton for having led me to something that changed the way I looked at life and brought a great attitudinal shift from within.

Back home that day after the workshop I could not wait to google 'soul age' and get more info on the subject. That's how I came across the Michael Teachings. (www.michaelteachings.com) I got hooked on to the website and soon became a member of their yahoo group. Since then there has been a wonderful exchange of information via the group and the teachings of Michael(s) an entity comprising 1050 souls, channeled by some of the members of the group. The channelings are a great source of information for all seekers of esoteric truths. The website is one that can keep such seekers glued onto for ever!

One of tenets of the teachings that really seemed to resonate with my personal beliefs was that of choice, one that I rarely voiced because I could not validate what I believed, till I read the Michael Teachings. Michael says, "All is choice. All choices are valid. Choices have consequences. We create our own reality through our choices." Once this truth is accepted, a fragment (soul) begins to accept responsibility for all his thoughts, words and actions. Accepting responsibility is, to my mind, the first and most integral step towards soul growth. Without it we feel we are pawns in a game that some higher force other than ourselves is playing, one that leads us to believe we are like puppets on a string, which is far from the truth. We feel it is okay to just stumble through life and not take one step towards finding out more about looking at the bigger picture of what our earthly existence actual means.

Another tenet of Michael that is my favorite is "We are spiritual beings on a human path". This makes a lot of sense, especially when you begin to understand the existence of subtle bodies that cannot be perceived by the physical senses. The physical plane is one of growth through experience and the only one that affords the highest opportunity for soul growth.

We often remark about not having a choice in situations, whereas the actual truth, if we remove the layers of illusion that blind us, will show that the choice was there; it was only we who chose not to make it because we feared the consequences. Either way making a choice or not making it will have consequences. So really there is no such thing as 'not making a choice'. 'No choice' is also a choice!
