Who is writing your plot line?

We had our Kaffee Klatsch this weekend. Among the many things talked about was: What do you do when you are stuck between your desires and your beliefs?

Which ones do you or are you allowing to rule you?

This is not about religious beliefs and that sort of thing. This is about what you are made of. After all, we do not own anything but the consequences of our actions. Which takes me right back to if you believe in life after this life or not. If you don’t, stop reading. Do your thing and be happy.

If you do believe in life after this life, then this is something for you to ponder.

It’s not necessarily something to ponder, it is really something that will come across your path a multitude of times. Not because you are asking for it, but because it is asking you. One good example was my friend, who is vegan, being in a relationship with a non-vegan. How do you spiritually reconcile that? Vegans seem to be very firm in their belief about their lifestyle. So that’s a huge contradiction in what you are about when you let your desire, being with someone who is not vegan, overrule your belief system. In the end the relationship didn’t work out, and I am sure the whole vegan, non-vegan thing was part of the issue.

This is the dilemma that will present itself to you in so many forms over the course of your life. Will you concede to the temporary desires or hold out for your beliefs. None of us can even fathom the totality of the consequences of every single action we perform each day. The “negative” and the “positive” repercussions of our individual being-ness. Keeping us in a continuous loop of repeating the same reaction and response to seemingly different situations. Until you wake up to the fact that the scenery may change, but the plot really doesn’t. That’s when you will finally have the opportunity to intervene your cyclic behavior and change your story.
