# Choice > Choice is a present moment way of moving toward truth emphasizing an available action the amount of excitement attached to it and a willingness to reassess in the next moment without demanding certainty - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/choice # Choice *A traveler testing the first step of three branching paths* Across these sources, choice is presented as a present-moment way of moving toward what the speaker calls one's truth, rather than as a single final verdict on a life direction. The teaching emphasizes an available action, the amount of excitement attached to it, and a willingness to reassess in the next moment. > — Miscellanous (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/miscellanous) ## Discernment without outsourcing the decision When two inner prompts compete, the speaker asks which is more exciting and which one can more readily be acted on. The same exchange treats a wish for a single external instruction as a wish to reduce one's choices; its further claim that all experienced voices come from the questioner is a metaphysical premise of this teaching, not an externally established account of inner experience. > — Be In A Positive State So You Can Receive A Positive Reflection (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/be-in-a-positive-state-so-you-can-receive-a-positive-reflection) The source on symbolic experience applies a related distinction to interpretation: it asks the questioner to notice how a symbol feels and to explore it through imagination, rather than to have another person certify its meaning. That is guidance within the speaker's framework for personal reflection, not a way to verify factual claims about an inner experience. > — Making Choices (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/making-choices) ## Choice, neutrality, and the present *A low crystal basin at the center of several equally lit openings* The opening teaching in Making Choices goes further than its symbolic-experience exchange. It says there is no state of waiting “between” choices: even neutrality or balance is presented as a choice, and each choice is said to evoke an experience or reality. > — Making Choices (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/making-choices) Within this metaphysical account, no choice has inherently greater power than another. The speaker connects treating options as equal with relaxing fear-driven attention to an unwanted outcome, while keeping discernment in the present moment; this is a stated teaching about manifestation, not an externally established account of how outcomes occur. > — Making Choices (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/making-choices) The passage also asks the listener not to deny what is present and says that full self-acceptance is necessary before techniques or tools can be effective. Its practical direction is therefore present-moment noticing and self-acceptance within the speaker's framework, not a demand to approve of every circumstance or an instruction to forgo appropriate support. > — Making Choices (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/making-choices) ## Divergence without reversal One short exchange uses dimensional geometry conditionally: it presents a ninety-degree description as an interpretation shaped by a particular physical-reality filter, not as a universal measurement. > — Dimension Movements And90Degree Vector S (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/dimension-movements-and90degree-vector-s) Within that same framework, a ninety-degree turn is described as maximally opposite while still leaving several directions available, whereas a one-hundred-eighty-degree reversal is described as going back on oneself and therefore leaving no choice. > — Dimension Movements And90Degree Vector S (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/dimension-movements-and90degree-vector-s) ## Recognition, belief, and repeated action *Repeated footprints leading to a crystal doorway, with a looping root pattern exposed beneath the path* The clarity source reframes feeling “caught” as a choice that can be recognized and investigated. In this account, acknowledging the choice restores enough agency to ask why an experience that feels disempowering is being selected. > — Clarity And Clarifying Beliefs Choosing Equals Empowerment (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/clarity-and-clarifying-beliefs-choosing-equals-empowerment) It also makes a sharp distinction between an unrecognized habit and a repeated action after recognition. The speaker attributes continued non-preferred choices to beliefs that make the selected option seem better than its alternative; that is the source's account of motivation, not an externally established explanation for any person's behavior. > — Clarity And Clarifying Beliefs Choosing Equals Empowerment (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/clarity-and-clarifying-beliefs-choosing-equals-empowerment) > — Clarity And Clarifying Beliefs Choosing Equals Empowerment (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/clarity-and-clarifying-beliefs-choosing-equals-empowerment) ## Preference clarified through contrast An outcome that is not preferred is not treated here as proof that the earlier choice was invalid. Instead, the speaker says that contrast can identify the preference to choose next, while the label “bad choice” is presented as part of how the choice is experienced in this teaching. > — Be In A Positive State So You Can Receive A Positive Reflection (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/be-in-a-positive-state-so-you-can-receive-a-positive-reflection) The same source extends this framing to engagement: it says the questioner may choose what to interact with and what not to interact with. That claim belongs to the transcript's metaphysical frame; its practical emphasis is on making one's intended engagement explicit. > — Be In A Positive State So You Can Receive A Positive Reflection (qa-4), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/be-in-a-positive-state-so-you-can-receive-a-positive-reflection) ## Practical implications Within this teaching, a learner can begin with the options available now, take the action identified as most exciting, and reassess rather than treating the action as a permanent commitment. > — Miscellanous (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/miscellanous) When an outcome is unwanted, the proposed reflection is to name the preference it clarified before making the next choice, rather than treating the earlier choice as a failure. > — Be In A Positive State So You Can Receive A Positive Reflection (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/be-in-a-positive-state-so-you-can-receive-a-positive-reflection) When a behavior is recognized but continues, the sources propose examining the definition or belief that makes it appear preferable. This is a reflective framework only; it does not determine the cause of distress or replace medical, legal, financial, or mental-health support. > — Clarity And Clarifying Beliefs Choosing Equals Empowerment (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/clarity-and-clarifying-beliefs-choosing-equals-empowerment) > — Clarity And Clarifying Beliefs Choosing Equals Empowerment (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/clarity-and-clarifying-beliefs-choosing-equals-empowerment) ## Representative passages Your highest joy is to be yourself as best as you know how. It need not be a grand career or lifelong project: at every moment, look at the options available, choose the one with the highest excitement, do it to the best of your ability, and reassess in the next moment.— Bashar, Remember, a habit is something you do you don't know you're doing. Once you recognize you're doing it, if you do it again, it's a choice. You can't blame the pattern anymore.— Bashar, What you need to say is, ah, thank you for revealing to me that this choice was not my preference. Now I know what my preference is. And so now I will choose the other.— Bashar, It has many meanings. Asking whether it has meaning can negate the meaning you could discern with your own imagination. Notice how it felt: if it felt comfortable, explore the symbol and let it reflect a new perspective of yourself.— Bashar, ## Related - [Definitions & Beliefs](https://sassani.app/topic/definitions-and-beliefs) - [Self-Trust](https://sassani.app/topic/self-trust) - [Self-Empowerment](https://sassani.app/topic/self-empowerment) - [Excitement](https://sassani.app/topic/excitement) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/choice.
