There has long been discussion on the abilities of humans to choose, that is, to decide what direction we will take. Some say it is already decided. Some say we have a choice until we make it. Some say we can even reverse ourself.

      In general, we are born into a body with a plan. We have already made many choices. We come into a "family", with parents, or not; into a neighborhood; an economic situation; a culture. We have already selected certain goals we wish to achieve.

      This writer, for example, in her very first incarnation, wished to resolve a puzzle which she pondered for eons. Hundreds of thousands of years later, she is still pondering the same question: How does God manage to maintain His eternal good spirits when so many who promised to return home have yet to do so? And God misses them terribly. Yet, he never complains.

      Not complaining is a big deal. I know. I complain. But God keeps focusing on getting people to come home. There are currently humans who spend part of every day helping any soul who wishes to go home but has become entangled in matter.

      To be able to go home is a matter of energy. Some souls, when they drop the body hang around a loved one because they don't want to leave the loved one here alone. Some have been discarnate since their first incarnation. Some souls have faced nuclear explosions without a body which blows a soul to smithereens. This is why Creator has outlawed aerial nuclear detonation. And others souls may have become damaged as a result of their individual choices..

      Some of our choices are energy neutral. Some, however, have a great impact on our energy state. Some leave the soul barely able to function. These souls in particular need to be given a boost to a minimum level to be able to return home.

      Using alcohol, for instance, may leave holes in the aura, the energy field. Focusing on negative emotion. decreases the physical and spiritual energy levels of a being.

      Certain physical actions raise and restore our energy levels. Smiling, laughing, singing, dancing, expressing gratitude, just a few minutes a day, does much to raise a person's energy, one's frequency. This helps one to feel better, look better, move better, solve puzzles easier, do well on multiple choice tests and achieve goals.

      Earth currently is a training ground. We are preparing for an upgrade in function. We ought not just sit back and wait for it to happen. We can raise our energy levels a little bit every day. And we can avoid dropping them more than we raise them. Choose the better actions: love over anger, kindness over disrespect, respect over scamming, to listen rather than order, trust instead of fear.

      Our choice.
