Life is the series of lessons based on the changes
happening to us or changes we wish to make. Each
of those lessons is a five-step process that
happens faster than one realizes so we will slow
down the process and look at each of the steps in
turn. The first step always starts with a concept
of what it is that needs to be done from whatever
prompts that initial concept. Once identified, all
the resources needed to follow-up on that concept
begin to be arranged to reach a yes or no answer
on whether to follow through with the concept. In
a thousandth of a second, the details of what is
available to make it happen come to mind in
preparation for the second step to take place.
That is the debate process which now looks at all
the pros and cons important in deciding how
realistic the concept will be in becoming a
reality. On one side the debate is the part of the
mind that is trying to see the concept already
finished. The other side of the debate is the part
of the mind that can kill the concept before it
ever gets started. Here is where things get
interesting.
The debate part of the process now takes in all of
the factors to go back and forth on what is
doable. If the concept has a financial aspect,
instantly there is an audit of how costly the
concept is going to affect one's finances. This
becomes a question of whether something is worth
the money being spent and the benefits of doing
so. Next comes the debate on the time required for
fulfilling the concept and if the attention that
is devoted to it will be worth the end result of
those valuable moments spent on the project.
Entering into the debate are the other projects of
equal importance that your time that would be
better spent on or whether this project is a
priority. And that priority is what the debate is
all about. Can the time and resources needed be
justified with how the concept will affect your
life. Should the concept require other people,
your interaction with them in making the concept
happen has to be taken into account. One of the
pros and cons of involving others? Input into the
debate from a second or third party who might
provide missed options. Those are just some of the
factors taken into account depending on the
concept which lead to the third step of the
process, making a decision.
Decisions are when the debate is over and plans
have to be formed to proceed to the next step. The
factor at play again here is the element of time
and how much of it is available for the
decision-making process. Mere seconds can mean
rushed decisions with poor planning whose outcome
are most often destined for failure. The longer
the time frame the better results though time is
the one factor sometimes the least in your
control. This is where an organized mind is your
biggest asset. Working out three options to each
decision gives you the best fluidity even when
time is critical. Working in the background are
your spiritual guides who are constantly offering
their input so often that your first instinct is
usually the best option with two others to give
you the benefit of the most flexibility. That
leads to the fourth step of the learning process
which is taking action on the decision that has
been made. It's only when this phase of the
process is completed that the last step takes
place which is learning from the decision made.
Right or wrong are irrelevant since learning is
all that matters. There will be thousands of
chances to learn the same lesson possibly in a
life where even a right decision will be tested
over and over.
What finally needs to be mentioned are the lessons
initiated without a concept due to outside
factors. These can be from people or situations
with sudden decisions needing to be made. This is
when the debate phase starts on the way to making
a decision from everything that is being
presented. If it is a person, things like past
lives experienced previously are influencing the
options in the background. That includes karma
being repaid which also has some influence.
Meanwhile, the debate comes down to the three
options if possible and now a decision takes over
from the best of the three presented. Action
begins from that decision leaving only the lesson
left once everything has run its course. In the
seconds it takes for the entire process, a life
can be changed when it is a lesson that alters the
status quo. Even a simple thing like answering a
want ad can be a decades long series of lessons
based on that one decision. A casual conversation
on a bus may lead to a relationship that doesn't
end until the end of a person's life. The one
suggestion we can offer is the number of options
presented to the decision-making process should be
at least three which gives your decisions the
respect they deserve. Each is significant in its
own right enough that Karra has channeled that she
works with ten options whenever she can. As we
like to say, well thought out decisions avoids
recriminations.
