Path choices have been discussed in numerous segments since Matrix V was published. While choices are relatively minor, from a spiritual point of view, in the Low and the Mid levels of progression, they increase in significance when one enters Advanced stages. The mid-Advanced levels have strong choice options as the spirit may choose to remain mid-Advanced in that incarnation or move into Very Advanced stages. Significant decisions indeed do ripple through your other simultaneous path incarnations of a lower progression than your current one. Significant choices can either spiral you forward or pull you backward into the Game. 

The incarnation will be presented with path options – the fork in the road choices. The fork is there to illustrate that you cannot have both your cake and eat it too. You will discover that fate and your Higher Self will force you to choose. 

Some think that putting off the fork choice will give them the benefits of both paths indefinitely. This is not true. Inaction, attempting to constantly put off one’s path choice, is a choice in itself. You can fool neither the Game nor your Higher Self. Inaction is your decision to remain in the Game. Inaction will slide you down the Game path of the fork. 

I had a local friend who had a significant amount of psychic ability when we met. He claimed that he wanted to learn “everything” from me. His spiritual signal flare was answered and he was presented with options that would increase his abilities and spiral him into the Very Advanced stages. His abilities did start to increase and his experiences were developing as he previewed that path choice. 

The Game does not give up that easily. He was presented with the common Game challenges of family demands, female succubistic natures (marriage/sex trap), employment related lures and so on. These began to infringe on his previously stated spiritual interests. Next he was faced with decisions that required him to favor one path choice or the other. The Game demands were increasingly shrill and pressures got heavier. The other path choice was subtle. He had his taste of what was there. That is sufficient for those with a spiritual, spiral outward perspective. 

Which would he choose? Would the Game pressures be too much for his character to overcome? Would he have the courage to step away from the Game, take the leap of faith and see what would happen in the unknown? He was not alone in having assistance with his path fork. He was visiting me daily, but increasingly looked for loopholes to have it “both ways”. I gave him warnings of what the Game was presenting him with and what would happen if he chose that fork.

He went to the Monroe Institute, still thinking he could have it “both ways” and trick the system. His Monroe experiences were potent to him. He phoned me from Virginia to tell me so. I also noticed that after this trip, the Game stepped up its pressure significantly. His succubus became more demanding (marriage). I advised him with this and other Game related questions. However he finally told me that he didn’t want to hear the options any more. With that, I ceased to advise him. He had made his choice and I honored his decision, as allowance states. 

With this decision of his, the Game pulled him down its conformist path. His succubus used the pregnancy trap for marriage that they use so adeptly. He had less and less time for interaction with me. His psychic abilities withered to the point where he couldn’t even recall some of the fascinating abilities he had just a couple years earlier. His succubus demanded that he not have anything more to do with me. 

I had not seen him for over a year when he came over for a visit. He sat there complaining about his life. He was sleeping in a separate room from his succubus and actually asked me why I didn’t warn him about this. When I reminded him that I did and it was he who said “I don’t want to hear about this any more”, he remembered and grew silent. He had turned into a shell of the person I had first known in 1996. 

Last week, I forwarded a general interest article to him even though I haven’t seen him in a long time. Today I received a short note via email:

“Hope you are well. I think of you every day. Working one job during day hours....12pm-8pm. Well, as close as possible. Living in a malaise...seem not to have any time for anything. Just started to get some normalcy in sleep. Not very excited or motivated.”

This is a far cry from the person he was. This is also his spirit feeling the pangs of loss. Yet he still could get off the Game path, but the courage to do so would be greater than it would have been a few years previously. I don’t expect that he will in this incarnation. The Game and his succubus have such a great hold on him to the detriment of his spiritual growth. His thinking of me is his remembrance of his former abilities and potential for progressing. Now he is stagnating. That, too, is a path experience, but a definitely sad one from the spirit point of view.

The purpose of this segment is to reinforce what major path decisions result in. BOTH paths have their own unique set of consequences. This person sacrificed spiritual growth for Game conformity. Why is he not happy with his decision? The Game is satisfied. Obviously his spirit is suffering, yet the spirit does not yet have the impetus to break free of the Game. 

Latter EndGame is a particularly difficult period to make non-Game favored decisions. The lure of distractions, electronics, comforts, money, conformity, family, etc is powerful and the sequentialization of Earth is frenzied. This calls for a powerful spirit to break from it. I know a few who did have the courage required and they are reaping the benefits of their choice. Unfortunately, I also know those who had a taste of what may be and rejected it for Game’s sake. These are potent observational lessons for me to watch and even participate in. Allowance always wins from my interaction. They must be free to experience what they need. 

Decisions that touch your development are made frequently. Does the Game interfere with your spiritual path/development? Do you have to keep putting off higher matters because the Game matters continually demand more of your time? Are you just “too busy” to deal with non-Game things? Or, on the other hand, do you say, “fuck the Game, I want to learn/experience/feel/(whatever) something beyond the Game”? The Game does not take the ‘fuck you’ attitude from those IN the Game very well. If you say ‘fuck you’ to the Game, it will turn up the heat to attempt and haul you back. The Game and your body ID ‘conscience’ is programmed to react to the spirit saying ‘fuck you’.

Spiritual progress is difficult until you cross the threshold of the refining fire of the spirit. Until you finally break the back of the Game’s control over you, the Game will be relentless, insidious and devious in trying to re-exert control over you. Your Higher Self is watching to see how shim’s incarnation will fare with the challenges. Rewards follow courageous path choices. Do what you feel you must. Each path is unique. Yet be aware that whatever you choose does have consequences.
