if we piss away the opportunity to realize our true self, while in a

human body, it could be an extremely, long, long, time until we find

ourself in another one. the whole purpose of the human birth is to

discover our true self. the candle is burning at every moment!....we

have two choices in life....we can either chose to suffer, or we can

chose to return to the light. its our choice. at the time of

physical death, our life will seem like it was all for nothing, if we

dont avail of the opportunity to trancend our egoic mind. the egoic

mind is like a sinking ship!, if we dont get off, it will take us

down

with it.

 

peace,

You are absolutely right logos. Every moment we have a choice. To perpetuate the

delusion or to break free. We can choose to chase after our desires or to watch

them dissolve. It all comes down to earnestness, do you want to break free or

are you enchanted by the seductiveness of the world?.

Have a nice day

It does not seem to me that " we have a choice " .

WHO is going to choose, after all.

And WHAT..?! ..

...whatever it will choose, it will be based on its own

ignorance/conditioning.

I would say, that the 'choosing' Happens, when you see

that You are actually Doomed..

i.e. that you can Do _Nothing_... to 'break free'.

'Breaking free' is not a matter of 'I want'/will,

....is it !?
