Mastery through Choice

We tend to look at our journey of reconnection, which is played out in each of our visits to the earth plane, as choices we make from lifetime to lifetime. But the journey is much shorter than that, as it moves from choice to choice. Within each lifetime we have countless opportunities to take quantum leaps in consciousness, moving far beyond the boundaries of our soul contracts into higher levels of mastery. How do we make this journey go faster? By understanding the each choice is a journey of mastery.

Whenever we hear the word 'master', it is always preceded by ascended, leading to the belief that mastery is for the chosen few, the end stage of a soul's series of lifetimes, when it fully reconnects and ascends forever into the spiritual realm. This is what we aspire to, believing that it will happen when we are healed, whole, karma-free and fully actualized. With that kind of pressure, we lose hope and confidence because that is really an impossible objective. The journey to mastery is much shorter, more in the moment and within our reach in every lifetime.

Within each choice we have an opportunity to prove our mastery-to ourselves. Mastery is not gained by divine dispensation, it arrives quietly, with our realization that we are masters. The options we have before us indicate our level of vibration, our approach to the choices show our level of fear or love, what we choose indicates whether we have mastered that lesson or need to repeat it. Every choice follows this process and within each choice we can ascend to another level of mastery, or have an opportunity to try again.

Just as there is no final judgment and 'heavenly reward' at the end of each lifetime, there is no final level of ascension, or we do not have to suffer through countless lifetimes, wondering whether this one will be 'it', the one that will mark the end of our trips to earth. Mastery is an unfolding process, achieved through our choices, that moves us from one level to another. All we have to do is be within our power, fully in each moment so that we can choose mastery over karma, love over fear and move into a higher vibration with each choice we make.
