Your life is meant to be an upward and happier journey, the Decision is YOURS. You do have the freedom to choose the kind of world and life you want to live in. Why spend your life in a steamy jungle of roaring thoughts, or in a dark valley filled with sad and worried emotions when, by choosing higher, you can live happier and more fulfilled? You must decide, only you can make that decision.
The complete range of life-level possibilities, from the conflict-filled jungle floor to the serene mountaintop, all exist right within you. To not choose the upward path through this life is to resign yourself to the laws of gravity -- which always choose in favor of their own nature: down.
Imagine a huge mansion with unlimited floors. Now further envision that each floor in this mansion represents one life level out of all of your countless possibilities. The level of each of the floors in our inner mansion determines the life choices available on it. If it's helpful, think of this mansion as representing your True Nature.
As long as you live in the basement of this mansion, you can't choose to enjoy the unrestricted cool air and natural sunlight of the first floor resting just above it. Similarly, on the second floor you can't choose to see the beauty and panorama of the view that only the fifth floor and higher can offer. And so on it goes, all the way to higher and higher floors.
Your life experiences are determined by which of these "floors" you dwell upon. This means that each floor represents a possible life level. But, while each of these inner levels and the natural events attracted to them may be fixed, you are not. Unlike the tiger that can't leave the land of the tiger, you can leave any troubling part of your own present nature far behind you.
Picture a set of stairs that winds its way up and through this immense inner mansion. These steps start in the darkened basement and lead up until they go out of sight. Each step of the staircase is also a part of your True Nature, but none of them belongs to any one floor-level through which they pass.
This means you don't have to remain on any level not of your choosing. You have the power to climb. You can change your life experiences by walking away from any of those unwanted worlds and levels that have created your unpleasant days. In this way, self-departure is the same as self-elevation. Your life is meant to be an upward journey.
