IF WE HAVE EXPERIENCED OUR SOUL’S AWAKENING, then WC now have several options. One may choose to live as the voice directs. It is also possible to doubt the voice or come up with an excuse to avoid it. The most common scenario is fluctuating between two alternatives: at times feeling empowered in our passionate fulfillment of soul purpose and at other times reverting to old habits.

Following the path of the soul’s purpose can be rewarding and joyful, and it can be overwhelmingly difficult. At challenging junctures, we must choose again whether or not to continue on the path. During this process, our soul is an indispensable guide. Our soul knows when we are faithful or not. If we listen closely to the voice of our soul, it will show us the way. It tells us exactly how to prevail when obstacles block us. Whether we heed, or even hear, the guidance of our soul is an ongoing choice that may be repeatedly tested.

Sometimes we think of choice as a matter of consumer freedom, or as a philosophical issue of free will or responsibility. While choice can have those meanings, in this chapter I wish to talk about choice as the doorway to our creative power. To unleash this power, we must begin from the state of beingness.
