Message of the two choices

A major advantage of age is learning to accept people without passing judgment.  People’s days are numbered and the days of your earthly life are drawing to a close, and your death is at hand. It is time to set your affairs in order, were do you want to spend eternity? G-d has created the world, and does not wish to destroy anyone. After all, everyone has a chance to change their ways and live, until their number is up. G-d needs us to be merciful. If we want divine compassion to have an impact on the planet, we had better show compassion ourselves.
There are two gates we can take; the broad gate or the narrow gate, Matt. 7:13-14 says ‘Come in by the narrow gate, because the gate that leads to destruction is wide. That way is easy, and many enter through it. But the gate that leads to life is narrow. That way is hard, and few people find it.’
Life is fundamentally about choices. There are no scripts, but there are gates – toward the good or toward the bad. People are not forced to do evil. They make choices, and what we think of as rewards or punishments are the natural consequences of those choices. We can choose the marriage of heaven or the pit of hell. Consequently, we should not really think of G-d sending people to hell; people send themselves. We also realize that unjust actions bring their own consequences, naturally.
With respect to judging others, spiritually, I became aware of an unbelievable phenomenon in life that causes people to forget who they were meant to be by adopting strange spiritual experiences that links with self-righteousness and judgmental attitudes.
People make choices and experience their consequences. We act without thinking of the consequences. However, by sitting back and simply being -through stillness and meditative practice – we can see how our actions today affect the larger whole, and how our mercy is the channel of divine mercy. By mentally getting out of the world for a while, we gain a larger perspective. We become more open, because we have cultivated a G-d’s eye view of things. Each of us is born, not evil, but morally neutral, carrying within us the staggering power of the divine image. It is pure creative power, which can be used however we wish to use it.
We are invested with the ability to accomplish deeds of goodness, but also to harm and even to destroy. Each of us is a messiah in our own right, anointed with an innate ability to create the universe we inhabit, day by day. We are not simply adapted to our environment, as are all others species. We are masters of it. We have learned to harness the very forces of nature, even splitting the atom. We live longer, healthier lives than our ancestors ever thought possible. We have a rambunctious aspect to our personalities, a certain mischievousness that perpetually gets us into trouble. We have an evil inclination. This rambunctious side of our personality is nothing more than an assortment of our base drives and instincts; our lust, sextual and otherwise; our desire for power, prominence, and prestige. Truth be told, we need these drives, for without them we would be incapable of leading, commanding, or taking charge in any situation. We would be incapable of building a home, creating a family, and bringing forth children and raising them. Our evil inclination is essential to our functioning in society.
Y’Shua was born a real human being, flesh and blood, who had to wrestle with His evil inclination like everyone else, remember His blood carried also His human mother traits, and we know nothing of His childhood lessons, until He was twelve years old, astounding the Rabbis in the Temple.
You are more than what you know, you are stronger than you know, you can mature in life’s lessons. Maturing into Messianic, redemptive roles, in short, do not worry if you are not perfect. All of life is a learning curve.
