Overcoming the Self that Doesn’t Want to Make Decisions

In this article I am writing about overcoming the self that doesn’t want to make decisions. This is not an easy task and requires a reconnection with spiritual identity.

Becoming Aware of How the self that Doesn’t Want to Make decisions was Created

Contrary to what many people think, we are not physical beings that evolved until we developed a consciousness in the neural activity of the brain that was perfected until it became ‘spiritual’.

We are spiritual beings who descended to the plane of form on planet Earth and incarnated into physical bodies that evolved on this planet. Our physical body was created and evolved on Earth, but we are not that physical body.

To interact and ‘integrate’ with the physical body, our spiritual identity – what the Masters call the ‘conscious you‘ – created what is commonly called the ‘soul’ and what we know as the 3 most subtle material bodies – the etheric or identity body, the mental body and the emotional body.

These three material bodies accompany us from life to life, reincarnating each time in a new physical body. This is the only one that is renewed incarnation after incarnation, and it depends on several factors, such as karma, our parents’ genetics, etc.

The Earth has long been inhabited by beings of very different origins, whether from other planets or even, in the case of fallen beings, from other universes. And for a long time, the environment on Earth has been its own material constitution. It is much denser than on other planets, which the Masters call ‘natural’. The earth was a natural planet in its origins.

However, since the ‘fall’, the collective consciousness of Earth’s inhabitants has made matter denser, so that most people have come to believe that ‘matter’ and ‘spirit’ are two opposite and different substances.

The majority stopped believing and accepting that what we call ‘matter’ is still a state of consciousness, as is the entire material world, and rejected the possibility that the spirit can change material states.

Due to circumstances that we have mentioned in other articles, beings who came from natural planets with the intention of ‘helping the earth and the inhabitants of the earth’ when they incarnated on the planet, had a tremendous shock due to the density of this world and had difficulty accepting that they could create their own life circumstances as these are a reflection of our own consciousness.

Those whom the Masters refer to as ‘Avatars’ have suffered deep trauma caused by fallen beings who saw them as a threat to their dominance on the planet. And as I mentioned in another article, they decided that they no longer wanted to make decisions while living on the planet because they felt that they were not welcome and could not achieve the purpose that had brought them to incarnate on Earth.

The belief in their spiritual identity that they ‘could not complete’ the mission they had proposed gave rise to a new self, born on Earth, which took control, with the ‘conscious you’ remaining in a mere state of latency, un-manifested, ever since.

This is the self that sees itself as separate from others and the world and believes that it is more capable than the spiritual identity of responding to and overcoming the challenges of life on the planet.

It is, as I mentioned in another article, the reactive self that is always in competition with the world and constantly comparing itself to everyone else.

And it takes great determination to shift attention from the consciousness of that self to the spiritual identity of the conscious you.

To help us, the Masters, who continue to be available to each of us, whether we are aware of it or not, have created from their own substance our ‘Christ Self’, which allows us to move from the outer- self to the consciousness of our spiritual identity.

And gradually we re-establish the connection with our I Am Presence. For the remainder of the time that we remain incarnated in the world of form, we have a kind of ‘hybrid identity’: we know that we are in fact spiritual beings but, at the same time, we continue to feel the pull of the outer- self, although increasingly less able to control us.

It is only then that we begin to be ready to overcome the self that does not want to make choices.

The Psychology of the Self that doesn’t Want to Make Decisions

Not the only cause, but one of the most important in understanding the refusal to make choices, is the fear of making a mistake, of making a ‘bad choice’.

When the fallen beings created the trauma that gave birth to the ‘external self’, they made sure that they instilled in the traumatized being the idea that they had made a mistake so big that it could not be undone, and that his being would forever be ‘tainted’ by that mistake.

By violently accusing beings who had just incarnated on earth, with the idea that they had no right to be on earth, that no one wanted them on earth, and that they were so guilty that their life had no outlet on this planet, these beings caused  a  deep trauma.

Those who are incarnated on Earth without ever before experiencing such gestures of violence and cruelty simply gave up wanting to live on the planet; the fear of making the terrible mistakes these beings accused them of made them create a self-to deal with life on Earth, giving up any initiative.

But who gave up ‘living in the world, taking control of experiences in the material world’? It was spiritual identity, the conscious self.

It was this that gave up taking control, in accordance with the natural order established by the Creator – it is spirit that dominates matter, not matter that dominates spirit.

So, there was a reversal of the natural order of things – the spiritual being came into the world of form to take dominion over this world and to co-create this world, it did not come to extinguish itself and let a self, created in the material world, take full control of the life that it should command.

It is because of this reversal of the natural order of life that the Masters refer to the mortal self as an ‘intruder’, for it is in truth a usurper. At a certain point, the Conscious you can see this truth, which becomes simple when he reaches a certain level of consciousness, around the 96th level.

However, it is not easy for the conscious you to overcome the reluctance to make decisions. It takes an act of will, coupled with the ‘love of something higher’ than the mortal self, for the Conscious You to finally embrace its freedom and begin to accept that, as an expression of the Spirit, it is its task to assume command and not the outer self.

Even so, for a while it may be difficult to do it, and we prefer to remain dependent on the Masters, seeking them to tell us how to decide, feeling the pressure of the outer- self, repeating that we don’t have the ability to decide ‘well’.

For a period, which varies according to the determination and willingness to create something new, this indecision remains because the outer- self continues to press with its mental dualistic patterns of ‘good and evil, right and wrong’, and the fear of making mistakes can be paralyzing.

Until, spontaneously, at a given moment, we have an intuition, given by our connection with the Christ Mind, that there is no “right and wrong” according to the patterns drawn on earth.

What there is, is our willingness to be creative, to contribute to the upliftment of all life, rather than just wanting to uplift ourselves as happens with the outer- self.

Creativity is the ability to bring something new to overcome the status quo of what already exists, it does not mean following the existing rules to keep everything the same.

And it is at this moment that we overcome the self that does not want to make decisions.
