Choosing consciousness happens moment by moment. When the Master taught the better ways of living through his mortal life, he in essence was teaching us how to reach higher levels of consciousness. When someone slaps you across the cheek and your consciousness is flooded with shame and anger, your impulse is to strike back. If you elevate your consciousness to the awareness of God's love and his mercy towards all his children, then the response is to ignore all those lower animal feelings, to feel instead love for this erring sibling and to offer the other cheek, to do the positive thing. This response goes against all of the millions of years of animal evolution that you are carrying with you. This response is truly revolutionary in your world and will change it completely. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-01-31-Morontia_Mind#Consciousness Ham] | Choosing consciousness happens moment by moment.
