Which Road Will You Choose?

Matrix 5 Excerpt 

While there are many paths to progression, there are basically two types of roads - smooth and rocky. The smooth road is the easy way, but, by far the longest. It works on reassuring you of what you learned from religion, society, peers, etc., ‘is what's best for you’. The occasional ‘bump’ in that road is your Higher Self trying to get you to wake up. If the bump is big enough, it can push you onto a rockier road, at least temporarily.

The rocky road is the harder way, but the shorter and far more rewarding way. The rocks on this road are caused BY religions, society, peers, etc. These are what challenge your Higher Self. These are what you must overcome to go higher and farther. Some of the rocks are religious beliefs, gender beliefs, social constrictions, others' opinions and your own insecurities. 

Victimhood is represented by deep ruts in the road that you can fall into. In order to progress, you must overcome the rocks and avoid the ruts. Once you overcome certain rocks, you are not likely to have them fall in your path again to be of any concern. Take religion: once you recognize it for what it is and understand who you are, the rocks of religion will fall to either side of you, but not cause you to falter.

The rocky road is always chosen by a Final Incarnation, never a smooth road. This doesn't mean the Final Incarnation knows this from birth. It may, but usually later in life. Everyone's different. However, when it does waken to its nature, it becomes evident that the rocky road is the ONLY road. Meanwhile, those on the smooth road see you and badger you to conform and ‘return to the smooth road’ and 'be like us'. Another thing about the rocky road, once you've overcome the rocks and ruts, the road gets increasingly smooth and you wind up running instead of crawling. The rocky road widens at this point. What's beyond that is not for me to tell, it is for you to find out.

The smooth road is a trap. While seemingly smooth at first, it becomes narrower with time, restricting what you can do, keeping you in bounds. You can switch roads. “Too rocky for me in this incarnation”, one may say and switch to the smooth road - enough for one incarnation. “No progress for me on this smooth road. I don't seem to be getting anywhere”, says another, and jumps to the rocky road, accepting the challenges. The choices are your own.
