..."It's ALL choice. You don't realize it - but it is. It's your choice from the beginning to the end. Then from the beginning to the end, again and again and again. So, there's genetics, all right there is that. But there is also "you" that dwells in the physical body. And how strong is "your" intent? Your intent can change your physical construct. It is all up to you. But, if you have a 'disease' - heal it. If you can't heal it, then do what ever you want to do. But, 'learn' from the doing.
No one else set that up for you - no one. No one can have 'any' influence on you what-so-ever - if you do not wish to have influence by anyone else. They can give you all the advice in the world, but if you don't want to take it, you don't have to. What we're saying is, "be the 'you' that you are, be an 'individual'". OBSERVE, LEARN, that's what its all about. And the 'learning' does not have to be one of suffering. That is one thing that you desire to do for some reason we cannot understand.
Why do you feel that you have to 'suffer'? We do not understand that. You are in the physical to "enjoy" it. Enjoy it to the fullest, which ever way you can, however you desire you want to do it. It is like the man that say's, 'I will pay this man $100 to kill me, I don't want to live any more. And tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock I will be walking through the park - I don't want to see you - but I want you to kill me. I will write a contract and all this other kind of stuff if you want it.'. And the fellow say's, 'no, just give me the $100'. So the fellow say's, 'all right, I will give you the $100'.
So he takes the $100. The next afternoon the man is walking through the park and he say's, 'finally this will be over, it won't be long now.' The man is already there, he's ready to shoot him. Then the man spots something in a little child playing with a car on the sidewalk. And the joy in the child's face, and the child looks up and he smiles and he say's, 'I've got a car'. And the remembrance in the man of the day he got a little red car that he had longed for, and how he had played with that car. Then he began to remember that of living as a child, and he progressed in his thinking, and he said, 'I do not wish to die. I have no desire to die. I want to find that joy, that happiness, that excitement that I had as a child.' He continued walking with that thought in mind. Someone came up and tapped him on the shoulder and the man turned around and it was the man with the gun. And he said, 'you have changed your mind, here's your money back'. Who wrote the story? We are Datre."
