Going beyond the concept of choice - realizing you are choice

Frederic notes that in many fields people master the rules and principles and eventually go beyond them, and asks whether one can likewise go beyond the concept of choice they have been studying.

The Wonders answer that going beyond the concept is to realize you are choice, which shifts it from 'I choose' (placing it outside oneself) to 'I am this choice' (placing it within), after which the only question is what you choose in an immensely varied universe that extends far beyond the physical.

Frederic reasons that once judgment is removed, choice is simply what is, and that as long as it remains a concept it is still separation and duality.

The Wonders confirm this cannot be explored from the mind's perspective: one must let go of the necessities to define, judge, understand, acknowledge and interact, and then it simply becomes that which is.

Asked whether this is feasible for a human, they say yes but with the caveat that one must be willing to command all that one is without reference of separation to anything - possible and therefore probable, though not highly probable.

Their encouragement is not to pursue the concept but to freely choose without justification, judgment or qualification, without reflecting on it or congratulating oneself, until choosing simply becomes one's nature with no dithering about whether the choice is right; only then can this concept begin to be explored.
