There are TWO significant considerations in making major, life-changing decisions: One well known and the other, a very important, but rarely used source of resolution. When faced with an important, life-influencing decision, most start with a mental assessment of the pro’s and con’s surrounding that decision. We attempt to evaluate the consequences of a decision using acquired knowledge and the awareness derived from previous life experiences.
Sometimes, facts lead to a clear and simple conclusion wherein making a decision is easy. But many decisions are not so easily resolved. For example, consider you are offered a job that requires you to move to a new place. Fact A: The job offers an enticing 30% increase over current salary. Fact B: The cost of living in your new residence is 40% higher than where you currently live. Fact C: Your new job responsibilities will change. Fact D: Lifestyle and community consequences may be profoundly different than the current situation.
Facts A and B offer straight forward conclusions, with easy to map-out projections: You will make more money, but it will cost more to live. It’s simple math. However, by their nature, Facts C and D are subjective, which means they are based on personal feelings, tastes, and opinions that are difficult (or impossible) to quantify.
In addition to the problem of calculating a decision based on incalculable subjective “facts,” consider the consequence of assessing a decision based on misperceptions about things we formerly learned or experienced. Are ALL the “facts” one holds in their mind accurate? Subjective variables and potential misperceptions obviously throw a monkey wrench into the decision-making process that may result in fully unintended outcomes.
A profoundly important consideration is that the body has another mechanism that can significantly impact decision-making … feelings. No, this is not New Age mumbo jumbo. For nearly a hundred years, quantum physics has revealed that our perception of a universe divided into matter and energy realms is a false assumption. Quantum physics, the most tested and validated of all sciences, reveals that the Universe is a singularity, it is all energy … atoms are not made of matter. The body translates energy fields into sensations defined as “feelings.”
We perceive some energies as “physical” matter, while other energies are represented as invisible waves (e.g., radio, TV and cell phone broadcasts). Our bodies represent physical expressions of energy, while consciousness is an example of an invisible energy field. In physics, energy fields from different sources can become entangled and influence one another. When in harmony, energy fields can combine and enhance the power, or strength, of their collective field. This form of empowerment is scientifically referred to as constructive interference, and in terms of human consciousness, “good vibes.”
In contrast, when two or more disharmonious energy fields combine, their entanglement may cancel each other out in a process scientifically referred to as destructive interference, again, in terms of human consciousness, “bad vibes.” There is a basic truism, “energy is life; no energy, means no life.” Since the energies of all the physical and non-physical elements of the world are entangled, the energies that comprise one’s life can be expressed in terms of vibrations ranging from life-affirming constructive interference to life-threatening destructive interference.
The body has an amazing ability to read vibrational fields and transduce these experiences into what we perceive as good and bad “vibes.” Mechanistically, the translation of vibratory signatures as feelings is attributed to the function of the heart, not the brain. The mind derives a decision based upon assessing the influence of learned and experienced behaviors. In contrast, the “heart” simply calculates the net result of an enormous amount of entangled energy values concerning the decision and generally comes to a simple digital conclusion expressed as a good vibe or bad vibe. The heart’s insight is more complete and accurate in contributing to a final decision than the mind’s limited analytical assessment.
Perhaps the best solution in decision-making is to first assess a situation by using mental analysis, comparing and rating the perceptions of the resulting pro’s and con’s. Once the mind arrives at a decision, sit back and ask, “How do I feel about this decision.” If the heart and mind agree and express “good vibes”, move forward with your decision. BUT, if the heart experiences a weakening of the body’s energy going toward bad vibes, or if the “feelings” cause doubts to arise, it means the energy field does not fully support the mind’s decision and implies that a further review maybe necessary.
Wishing YOU good feelings of LOVE dear friends.
