Think of this. Take any situation presented to you. Look at your options- they are virtually limitless.
Now, think of the consequences (outcomes, not necessarily good or bad) of each option you could choose.
By seeing what makes you feel good, truly good- without hurting anyone or yourself, what instantly pulls you in as a "feel good" option?
Why restrict hurting others?

Really, in some situations, hurting another would make one feel the best.

Saving someone's life by killing a psychopath.

Or, being a psychopath, and killing people for enjoyment.

Even if you don't think that something is wrong or too difficult or impossible on the outside, your instincts are your true voice, and the "highest" choice is usually the choice that you are led to first.
Really? So, thinking about what to do in a situation will only result in making a "lower" choice?

Quote:
Usually people with see that choice as not being "right", but your first insticts always tell the truth.
Damn. I mean, this does make life simple. Would be nice if it was true, but all I am seeing is assertions that it is true. And my first instinct is that it is all wrong. Which, by your own rules, means that it being wrong is the "highest" choice.

Quote:
That first instinct, even if the option doesn't feel 'right" to you, remember the "outcome" that would occur. That outcome is what matters, therefore showing you the "highest choice".
What is "outcome", in quotes?

Your statement is phrased like logic, with a therefore, but my first instinct is that there is no connection between your phrases.

Quote:
I hope that makes sense. remember- it's not the option that you choose that will make you feel good (your highest choice) but the outcome.
So, by selecting the option which I think of first, the universe will provide me with an outcome that will make me feel good, and if you think about your options and try to weigh which is best using actual thought and brains, you will end up selecting a "lower" choice whose outcome won't make you feel as good?

I'd hate to live in your universe. Sounds like a futile and frustrating place.
