Reality

“Whatever I accept in my mind has reality for me.
It is my acceptance of it that makes it real.”

Where to start on this one.
To those of us who have committed their lives to a purpose of peace and joy, it is self-explanatory.
To those of us who still harbor some secret wish that something from outside our minds will make us happy, this is anathema.
It comes down to a choice between being a victim of outside circumstances or the author of my entire experience ... no matter what the world seems to throw at me! Seems like an easy choice, doesn’t it? Please do not underestimate the seductive and addictive power of the victim mindset. Love to One and all, Diederik

The Victim

At Choose Again we teach that nothing from outside of our minds can have any real effect on how we feel. Nothing outside my mind can hurt me or bring me joy and peace. This is a stretch for everyone, from total beginner to seasoned spiritual traveler. The Victim in me starts to scream, objecting loudly. The Victimizer in me has that evil little grin on his face .... the Victimizer in me sees this as a free pass. The Victimizer in me, however, doesn't grasp that I am always attacking myself. I am the Victim of my Victimizer, we are one and the same.

If I am willing to consider that I choose my experience then why would I not choose a happy one? Then I send forgiveness to both the Victim and the Victimizer, love them equally and smile. Love to One and all, Diederik
