The choiceless paradox
The choiceless paradox
How to live without choice and love your life even more.
There are two profoundly disturbing themes for the mind: choice and pain. If there is free choice for us humans how come there is so much pain in the world?
If you are on the path of Human Design you might have come across the concept of choicelessness as an absolute. There is no choice, according to the messenger of this knowledge.
Embracing choicelessness with strategy and authority decreases the loss of energy rooted in judgment and resistance. The question is: can we choose it?
For most people the concept of choicelessness is heretical and preposterous. As far as our minds are concerned, we live on the planet of choice. Everybody can and should choose differently when the going gets tough.
For example, my mother ought to have chosen differently on all levels according to my sister, a subject which never fails to infuriate my sister.
It's comforting to be able to point the finger at the source of the pain: "She brought it on herself. She could have done this and that, but she chose not to".
And those who are unlucky to be born into cultures without the proper education to 'choose' differently are labeled as the martyrs of life.
Human Design points to a disturbingly similar conclusion - with a twist.
Human Design is a magic map that holds a profound paradox. The more we study it and the more we experiment with it we realise that everything is programmed. Our fates and purposes are clearly mapped as well as our fixed designs.
But the fates are not static. It's as if the cosmic forces have left something to play and experiment with. We cannot mentally plan mutative events, which are the essence of transformation and of life in form.
If you are privileged enough to play this game and to form part of the Human Design experiment, you are here to witness life and its mutative movement within the illusion - with the gift of awareness.
Your ticket to the show is your strategy and authority.
To quote Ra: 'It's one of the things you surrender when you surrender to the truth. You give something away that you don't need any more.'
What can you give away that you do not need anymore?
