The difference between choice and decision

Within the human being the primary operating system is the personality. Without this overriding and controlling presence that you are, all other subsystems would lose their meaning and function. It is quite important to all of you, the development of your soul, for you realize, each of you, that this emerging reality is your passport to the morontia realms. This is the accomplishment to be had in the human life above all career successes, above all other events that you can undertake to make your human life worthwhile. There is no thing you will take with you but this that you will become.
I would like to delineate, if only for the academics, the difference between choice and decision. You, the personality, have two functions in this regard. Firstly, since your priority is the co-creation with the Father's
Presence of this soul, your future self; every choice in your life should be compared to this goal of growth and morontia attainment. As you place value upon situations that you hope for, living conditions that you strive to better, you are creating what I would call a priority list for soul growth, and these are items on a list that I would call "values". You do not in your mind simply decide to do the will of the Father; you choose in your soul to do the will of the Father and your mind decides how to go about this dedication of yours. Every
one of you makes the same choice, and each of you decides quite differently how to demonstrate your choice to the Father.
The beauty of the whole mechanism of the Supreme is that everyone makes that same decision to be the Father's child consciously and wholeheartedly, and yet throughout the vast realms whereupon the Supreme plays out the will of the Father, we are all creating unique, decisive realities, one same choice in an infinite array of outworking.
To one on the other side of your world the choice is the same. Whether it be cloaked in different words, the choice remains identical. Yet you see how much different each of your traditional religions have developed based on this one, singular, deep longing.
I can love you only as Michael loves you, as your brother. Michael loves you only as can the Father, and this is significant. This is worth deep contemplation. My love for you is born of my decision to be eventually considered a Paradise citizen, to dwell in the Father's house. As a secondary decision I choose to love every individual I encounter and to seek more individuals with whom I may express this love. But I can only do it as a brother, and you can only receive my love as a friend and a brother. But Michael, my friends, he is not only your brother, he is your father. When he is among you, you can be assured that the Father is equally present, not simply as that mysterious, indwelling Fragment of infinity and absoluteness, but as that ever-loving parent who cares for each child and for all of you en masse.
What you choose increases the values of your soul. What you decide upon increases the wisdom of your mind. It is my observation that you all seek to become wise souls. This is accomplished through the coordinating presence of your personality, that which you are this very day.
When perplexities confront you and your mind whirls with the variables, the possibilities of which way to turn, what decision to make; pause, reflect, for just one moment. What are your choices? What are your values? These will clarify what will be your decisions, what these values mean to you and how these superimposed values will clarify the many distinctive parameters of your quandary. It is not unlike crawling through the brambles and finding a little knoll, a little rise, that you may climb upon to look above and overview it all and thereby more clearly discern your path.
