Choices

We have the right to choose what we wish to experience.  We have the right to choose what kind of life we want to live and who we want to share that life with long term.  We have the right to choose what it is that we want to do and how to do it.  That all means that we have the right to choose what we put into our minds in order for our minds to manifest the greatest good we can imagine.

A certain, specific, intelligent idea in Mind, will produce a certain, specific concrete manifestation equal to itself.  However, what we place in Mind must be what we want, we have to believe that we deserve it and we have to keep thinking about it and all aspects of it, until it manifests in our lives.  

Ernest Holmes tell us to, "Throw out into Mind an idea and Mind creates it and sets it on the path of your life."  Sometimes when faced with obstacles, asking for several solutions, brings several answers.  But what is interesting is, that no matter what solution you choose, it is the right one for you at the time.  

All choices are the right ones.  As we go along, if the outcome or the result is not what we thought we wanted, all we have to do is choose again.  It is so simple.  

More lessons

We have lived in Oklahoma City for over a year.  Most of that time, I have asked, "What in the world am I doing here?"  Having lived in California for most of my life, Texas for ten years, and now here, it felt really strange for me.

Having missed the "big" tornado last May while visiting in Phoenix, I really questioned why we were living is an area that is commonly known for "interesting, severe weather changes."  

Three weeks ago, I was in California traveling between Simi Valley and Concord.  The traffic was horrendous. Vehicles were packed on the freeways and most were driving fast and very dangerously, in my estimation.  

I was in a Chevy Suburban, which is not known for it's Indy 500 qualities, riding with a driver who has probably never driven anything larger than a four seater Singer Sewing Machine.  She was driving it like it was her personal sports car and because of it's size, she decided that most other cars would automatically move out of the way.    Because the speed limit was 75, she assumed that our car could do that easily.  It did.  But I felt it go air borne several times.  

I finally had to sit back, relax and turn it all over to God.  In the process, I felt an enormous amount of gratitude that there wasn't that kind of traffic in Oklahoma City.  Now, I know why I am in Oklahoma.  

Not having that kind of stress in my life is wonderful.  Being able to relax while driving is a luxury I never appreciated before.  

Back home, I had enough time to do laundry, work one day, and we were back on the road for our vacation time in our Recreational Vehicle.  We drove through the mountains of New Mexico and Arizona and I discovered that scenic views were vistas of deep gorges, usually on my side of the vehicle, and since I was sitting fairly high, it was really scary looking into the depths of the earth going by.  Fortunately, my chauffeur is a careful, and sedate, driver as he knows he has precious cargo aboard. I cured myself my of not looking down, but looking across the scenic views.  It made the trip much more comfortable.  

Having a greater appreciation of massive green trees, blue, clear skies, and, for the most time, clear, clean air, I am about to fall in love with Oklahoma City.  Divine Intelligence again knew what it was doing with me.
