The Choice Continuum Explained

DecideToChoose - The Choice Continuum: Explained

One year has gone by and peace continues to elude us.

So, I had to answer this call; the mission is incomplete. This post explains the parts of the Choice Spectrum, but we as individuals must make the choices for ourselves. 



Choose Peace, that there may be peace both within and around you. Choose to think peacefully. Choose to speak peacefully. Choose to act peacefully. It is difficult to have any of the other seven choices without Peace. Believe that we can have universal peace – one person at a time.
PEACE - in the most regal of colors: purple (violet).


Choose Hope, for to live there must be hope for the future. Hope springs forth immediately from Peace. Peace maintained helps to cultivate and nurture Hope.
HOPE, like the blue in the sky above, compels us to look upward. 


Choose Life. The desire to live is sometimes all that stands between life and death. It is also impossible to take another life when you are truly at Peace. So Choose Life, otherwise nothing else follows.
LIFE - portrayed in green, like so many of the vibrant things on Earth.



Choose Love. Love yourself. Love others. Love the planet Earth. You take care of that which you Love.
LOVE - in a blood red hue because just like our blood, we need Love to live.


Choose Joy. Find something every day to be joyful about. Choose to feel joy about living, loving, laughing. Choose to find Joy in the people, places, and things around you.
JOY - in the color yellow to mimic brightness and light.
There is no darkness in Joy.



Choose Health. We must have Health to appreciate Peace, Hope, Life, and Joy. Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Live well.
HEALTH is portrayed in vivid, glowing orange – much like the inner flame of our life force. Health burns bright when well tended.


Choose Truth. Truth emancipates. Truth enables. Truth, left plain, holds no burdens. Genuine Joy and real Love thrive in Truth.
TRUTH - in indigo, an integral part of Peace. Love + Truth = Peace 



Choose Faith. Faith follows Truth. With the absence of faith, all that remains is darkness. So have Faith in yourself, your fellow humans, and in Being.
FAITH is rendered in black and white to show the stark, clear difference between darkness and light.




 
Together, The Choices are a continuity, a spectrum, just the same as white light is divided by a prism into seven distinct colors (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) and many connecting hues in between. Once we have embraced them all, the pure white light of Being shines and cannot be hidden. Without them, you have the absence of light – total darkness; thus, the eight choices.
