What? Choice? Please. I got that shit down pat!
Choice is binary, To do or not to do (in regards to options).
Options are variable, to open a door or to NOT open a door; to pull or not to pull, to push or not to push.
Of course this is just an analysis of something that is naturally occurring in all things...whether the source of the choice is aware of it or not is wholly beside the point. We being human can discern choice entirely because OF our awareness. Of course, you would actually have to be looking for it to find it. It's something so subtle and small that it is most commonly overlooked.
"It is the small things that matter."
"It is often times the simplest things in life that are most commonly overlooked."
"I tell you to look at something in a certain direction and when you turn to face it you say it doesn't exist; I say open your eyes first." Somethings are just not easily understood especially if they aren't looked at. If I tell you to see this amazing thing at the beach, will you know what I'm talking about? You would go around seeing all these neat and wonderful things; most likely, you won't even pass a glance at what I was actually referring to. How can I tell you that you are reading this line? How can I tell you that you are having an emotional reaction now? How can I tell you that you are trying to figure out my intention now? How can I tell you that you are trying to shake me off like a bad hangover now? Not all things are easily explained, understood, or grasped. The point is to continue looking UNTIL an explanation comes, until it is understood, until it is grasped.
"It's not a matter of how far you are willing to take it; it's a matter of how willing you are to take it as far as it needs to go."
The only purpose for choice is motion or stillness. The only need of stillness is to remain. The only need of motion is to be. "To be or not to be." This is why atoms as a wave-form can appear as particles. They wish to be seen. They wish to matter and so they become matter.
Axiom; a generally accepted truth without the need for proof.
The issue we are faced with between things such as choice, free-will, honesty, integrity, honor, bravery, courage and action is the issue between intangible and tangible things.
If you were told to prove the existence of something intangible, how might you go about proving it? Einstein proved the existence of atoms by what was NOT present. When those pollen were placed into water, the pollen moved. This indicated that something was pushing them around. By the distance that the pollen were displaced, that is the amount of motion of the atom.
In order to prove the existence of something that you think you know exists, first try proving it by what ISN'T there. And then, if that yields no results, try using what IS there. What you are looking for is what IS happening...not what ISN'T. What isn't happening is everything but what is; get it? So saying something that isn't happening by observing what is, is cookie-cutting the present moment observation, excluding what IS happening.
