The
crossroads of transformation is where we stand at every moment of our
life. The future is never determined in advance-it unfolds with each
decision and choice that we make. The energy we resonate at and connect
with determines the opportunities we will see as possibilities for
choices. What feels right for us at one point may, upon review, seem
like the worst possible path we could have taken. After what can seem
like so many dead ends, how do we know which path is right?
What is right and best for us at one moment is not always the same over time. For example, the choices you made when you were 18 are not the same ones you would make at 40. But that is only because you have lived with the results of your past choices and know the outcome of certain decisions. When those outcomes do not bring us what we desire we judge them as wrong and that creates even more problems for us because no decision is ever wrong-we can only choose what we think is possible for us at that moment in time. And that always changes.
There is no 'right' path on our spiritual journey and our path will not be straight, it will twist and turn, wind through different experiences with the goal of ensuring that we learn the lessons of our soul contract. Instead of judging our experiences, we gain insight, move towards enlightenment and increase our range of options by reviewing what we learned, how and why we chose that particular option and what our expectations were at that time. Then we have information we can use for the next decision. Another crossroads of transformation will always be available and we can choose differently the next time.
It can feel like we make decisions that take us backwards, re-visiting experiences and going over old ground that we thought we had already covered. Perhaps we did but we may need to learn another aspect of that lesson. We can't be in a hurry with this process, there is no timeline or deadline, there is no end of the journey. As we approach each crossroads of transformation we can take our time, review our options, expand our vision of our power and possibilities and then choose something that will serve our highest good at that moment. When we are ready for a different turn on our path, to move in another direction, we will have an opportunity to choose again.
