sounds good to me. it could be even when not listening to the heart and sort of getting off the path - there is an experience that is what your total being intended to have.

I hear that it's possible to not have to always be thinking and figuring out what the next choice needs to be. That the choice is given to us and we take it when our times comes for it. However it's not a passive way of living either. I guess that comes with a calm mind and being able to not react to or fear what's going on. If you react of fear something it kicks in the thoughts and emotions that then make it seem like we have to gyrate and squirm to arrive at the best choice through our own processes. But even those processes are conditioned and not free from baggage of old ways.

However, if I had in mind a particular purpose or goal, like obtaining a degree in college, in order to abtain that goal I might have to make some choices I don't like, for instance, doing homework, which I hate. If I don't do the homework, how can that be a "Right choice?" That choice will lead me away from the path I want, not toward it.

it could be looked at that not doing homework as a choice is how you want to run the experience. It is how your complete system is responding to having a goal and also having some belief about homework or something as a block of some kind. So the choice to not do homework is there for you to experience what that's like. It is the perfect choice for how all your habits and behaviors are set up right now. In that way what the experience gives you is something that could help you notice some limiting belief or old mind set that you don't need to run anymore. That's what's right about it - even if the choice isn't helping the big goal.

In other words, you could say you haven't really committed to the goal of getting a degree - that hasn't been decided.

It has just been stated as a goal that you wish to put time in toward, but meanwhile your complete decision - with all your unconscious and conscious put together - isn't "yeah let's commit to the degree". Maybe your conscious thoughts say you have committed to the degree but the unconscious is full of wanting something else - like not doing homework. So then you have to determine if you want your subconscious to get on board with getting a degree. If so, then it takes some action to retrain the subconscious to show it who's the boss.

How's that for spin?

In that case, I think PlaysWithLife is correct, that a choice is right or wrong relative to a specific purpose.
