One of the leading researchers on the process of effective choice-making- Caroline Myss- stated that, “Managing the power of choice, with all its creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience.”So, the “choice to choose” has an inherent spiritual power and it has an ongoing interaction with ones’ inner life Myss, 2003). Managing the process well is what determines the direction and outcome of people’s lives. Myss (2003) also wrote that even when choices made from fear lead us to what we desire, they generally also produce unwanted side effects.
Based on our choice to choose, intended outcomes orchestrate the biological mechanisms to fulfill themselves. As Chopra noted, “Your cells are constantly processing experience and metabolizing it according to your personal views. You don’t just funnel raw data through your eyes and ears and stamp it with a judgment. You physically turn into the interpretation as you internalize it.”
Our essential nature, who we really are, is the domain of ever-present witnessing awareness that is beyond our physical and mental layers. Accordingly, the spirit can be seen as a functioning system and a part of our daily lives (Myss, 2003). It embodies our thoughts and emotions. “When your heart is not in something, you can bring technical skill, but you will never bring in artistic skill, intuitive skill, love skill, and so forth.” (Myss, 2003). To bring in this intuitive skill, one should look deeply into oneself in the spirit of self-inquiry and self-understanding. It doesn’t require that we change anything, rather that we pay attention to things as they are.
