"The road less traveled," what does that mean? It is not literally a road, but a direction in which one has chosen to travel. It is a choice. It is a thought about how one chooses to live his/her life. Thousands of smaller choices support the main choice or purpose of one's life. Many of the choices are made at a subconscious level, never-the-less the choices are internal; each choice taking the soul further along its chosen path or diverting it to a new experience or unscheduled stopover along the way. It is these extended experiences that allow you to recognize that you are on course or not, because you evaluate your life from a point of relationship. For instance if you notice that you have run of the road into the ditch, you also notice that you are not on the road moving in your intended direction. You may be headed to the East coast from the West, and how long it takes you is determined mostly by how many times you have turned north or south. The road less travelled is more or less made up of these side trips. The journey from East to West never ends and you eventually come across the starting point. Your trip can last as much as a single heartbeat or extended over several lifetimes. With each incarnation, memories of you experiences are added to the collective memory. Previous choices need not be re-experienced in any other lifetime in order to achieve enlightenment. It is the natural order of all that is to move forward. The knowledge does not die with the individual but becomes common knowledge in the collective. Our choices become apparent in our lifetime through the physical objects that we attract and bring into our lives. These physical objects tell the story of our current incarnation. We create the road less travelled through choice. From accessing the knowledge that is ours through previous lifetimes, we can enrich our lives in this time period. Staying close to spirit through meditation and communion gives us an edge, just as having ones own personal guide along on the trip. The road less travelled is yours uniquely. No one else can experience it in the same way; your life can never be duplicated, only copied. Your life makes for great copy, with all its side trips and tourist traps that have been chosen in a lifetime. Others will want to follow and have the same experiences. None will be able to achieve what you have done. The road less travelled is your life's experiences, it is what you are doing here, it is not a place you go to, it is what you are creating. The journey is in fact a road that no one else can travel. Do not seek, the road less travelled, create it. |
