When your feelings or emotions are running the show, you are choosing that path.
When you call for help and turn your attention to someone or something to help you, you are choosing that path.

You choose the path of helplessness, the path of dependency, the path of insufficiency.
Out of your very freedom, out of the freedom of consciousness, you choose the limited helpless mind.
You choose to forget your true nature, to forget your freedom, to forget your omnipotence and omniscience.
The impression of separation is your choice.
