From Consequences to Enlightenment: The Path Toward the Light
The Core of the Right Spiritual Choice
In the hierarchy of our God, the Right Spiritual Choice is the Choice toward the Light.
Each Spiritual Choice is rooted in Spiritual Values. The Values of the Light Ones carry qualities directly opposite to those of the Dark Ones (see Table below).
Values of Darkness
SLAVERY
HATRED
WAR
COWARDICE
FALSEHOOD
INJUSTICE
DESPAIR
CRUELTY
CHAOS
GREED
Values of Light
FREEDOM
LOVE
PEACE
COURAGE
TRUTH
JUSTICE
HOPE
HUMANITY
HARMONY
GENEROSITY
These values serve as spiritual coordinates, but a person engaged in daily routines is not always aware of them.
In most cases, only when confronted with a crucial moment of choice does an individual activate their inner feelings, critical thinking, and intuition to define their further Spiritual Direction.
This experience is well illustrated in the supernatural horror film The Rite, directed by Mikael Håfström.

Multiple Spiritual Choices Toward Light
Multiple consecutive Spiritual Choices toward Light are the best-case scenario for any spiritual entity. This path leads to fewer incarnations, minimizes risks in physical reality, and brings the soul closer to Liberation—also known as moksha, nirvana, or the Final Exit, which means freedom from the cycle of reincarnation and physical existence.
Imagine a spiritual being who has made Light-aligned choices across five lifetimes, and again chooses Light in the current life. This results in a boost in spiritual enlightenment, a consciousness upgrade, and movement toward the Final Exit—the ultimate liberation and return to the divine source.
This process is deeply explored in Redemption by Jacklyn A. Lo. The protagonist, a high-tech executive at Artificial Intelligence International, embarks on a metaphysical journey with the help of her AI pal Rob, her girlfriend Nina, and a psychic. Through past-life regressions, she uncovers the nature of her Spiritual Choices.

Why Is the Spiritual Choice Toward Light So Hard?
The Hierarchy of God is the most demanding realm of all. Therefore, the requirements to enter it are extremely high.
Think of it like trying to get into Harvard University—one of the most elite and competitive schools in the world, where only a tiny percentage of applicants are accepted. Just like Harvard demands top grades and exceptional performance, entering God’s Hierarchy requires making the Right Spiritual Choice along with living a life of integrity and good work every day.
Spiritual Choice Requires Responsibility
A true Spiritual Choice toward Light is not an emotional impulse—it’s a complete, mature decision. It requires:
Analytical thinking
Inner guidance and intuition
Self-reflection and research
Awareness of practical and emotional consequences
Even aspects like financial preparedness can play a role in how a Light Choice unfolds in physical reality. A miscalculation—whether emotional, material, or spiritual—can lead to regret, disappointment, or even personal collapse.
In such moments of crisis, some individuals may receive a hint or gentle insight from their Spiritual Supervisor. If a connection with this higher guidance has already been established—and trust has been earned—such moments can offer powerful confirmation that the chosen path, despite its challenges, is the right one.
The Risks of Choosing Light
Like all things in physical reality, even a Spiritual Choice toward Light comes with potential risks—especially the risk of Degradation if a person loses resilience or misunderstands the consequences.
Example:
A man donates a kidney to save his dying wife. Guided by Compassion, a Value of Light, his act is a clear Spiritual Choice toward Light.
The wife survives.
But soon after, she leaves him—and takes his property.
Unable to continue his career due to disability, the man, once a celebrated athlete, faces emotional and financial ruin.
“Was it all for nothing?” he wonders, as he turns to alcohol to cope.
“I gave her everything—and now I’m nothing.”
The alcohol weakens his spirit, drains the energy he built over lifetimes, and cuts his life project short. The result? Degradation—a tragic outcome that overshadows even a Light Choice when not supported by awareness of one’s own strengths, weaknesses, and life stability.
Note: The betrayal may have karmic roots—perhaps a reflection of an act the man committed in a past life. But such causes remain hidden, and the present consequences feel devastatingly real.
Additional Examples of Light Choices and Their Risks
History and literature offer profound examples of noble Light choices that brought tremendous sacrifice. For instance, in the film Schindler’s List (1993), Oskar Schindler risks everything—his fortune, reputation, and safety—to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Despite his heroic compassion, he faces immense personal and financial loss, underscoring the harsh realities that can accompany Spiritual Choices toward Light.
Similarly, in Victor Hugo’s classic Les Misérables, Jean Valjean’s journey is one of repeated mercy and goodness, but it is marked by relentless hardship and pursuit—showing how Light choices often demand endurance and sacrifice.
Final Thoughts: The Adventure of Spiritual Choice
Spiritual Choice is a powerful tool—designed for us by our higher, tighter brothers—as a way to test, challenge, and teach us through direct experience. It’s not abstract theory, but a raw, real-life process that unfolds through our personal decisions. Every Choice toward Light or Darkness shapes not only our destiny but our very essence.
This journey is both thrilling and demanding. It calls for a sharp mind, a resilient body, and an unshakable will—not just to survive, but to grow and glow. In making these choices, we step into the grand adventure of existence: a sacred game where the stakes are our soul’s evolution.
