"When you are unaware of your choices, you remain in fear. When you are aware of your fear, you are able to choose differently. You are able to inject consciousness into an otherwise unconscious process and change it." Gary Zukav
The very basic level of any or all dysfunction is the place we stand called No Choice.
We are being controlled by the simple fact that we are not given a choice. It isn't so much where we are or what is happening, but the fact that we don't have a choice. Fear to me means having no choice.
My night terrors had me frozen unable to move. To me that is the ultimate fear, unable to freely move my body, let alone control my own mind.
As I look back upon my childhood; it stripped away all my choices and had me living as a good follower a choice-less being. I did that well...and then worked to take the choices away from my children...continuing the legacy.
I believe, no matter what situation you are stuck in, it is because you have not given your self the option of options.
What I grew to do, was to find peace and acceptance and learned to enjoy the spot of no choice.
In some ways, it is an easier way to live and truly is a blameless state for your self. You are free from being responsible for your own life. Response Able....you are unable to respond or even know that there is a different way. You just simply put up no resistance to being without a choice.
Not a hard way to live....you only have one way of being in the world...and are not even aware of the land that has two choices or multiple choices.
I was taught or led to believe that this one choice way was the only way to heaven. It was a peaceful life...or is peaceful UNLESS you try to bring in a new way, another choice.
Fear truly is being unaware of your choices. My intentions now are to live in the land of choices. Perhaps I can now visualize how the wild horse must feel being put in the land of being powerless, without a choice...it looks like prison.
