By Katlego Rammusa:
In A Decision is Spiritual, Kgomotso Lekalake offers a provocative and metaphysical examination of the human experience, arguing that our daily choices are far from autonomous. Instead, he posits that we are the canvases upon which “Supernatural Forces” exert their influence, shaping our actions toward either the light of goodness or the darkness of evil.
Lekalake, drawing on his background in Public Management and Development Studies, bridges the gap between structured analytical thinking and deep spiritual awareness. The result is a call to action for moral regeneration in a world that often feels spiritually adrift.
The Anatomy of the Supernatural Influence:
The book’s most compelling argument is that humanity is not inherently evil. Lekalake separates the identity of the individual from the nature of their actions. By suggesting that evil is a by-product of external forces acting through man, he offers a path to redemption and societal healing.
Key Themes Explored:
- The Power of Agency: While forces influence us, the “blank” future is painted by the decisions we ultimately authorize.
- Universal Interconnectedness: The book emphasizes that “we are one,” suggesting that a decision made in isolation ripples through the “complete whole” of society.
- Moral Fibre & Regeneration: Lekalake targets the “kill, steal, and destroy” mentality, proposing a return to “Love, Peace, and Joy” as the only sustainable way to protect both humanity and our environment. A Synthesis of Logic and Faith:
Lekalake’s academic training as a critical and analytical thinker shines through his prose. He doesn’t just ask readers to “feel” their way through life; he asks them to apply their minds. He advocates for a decision-making process rooted in value judgments — a blend of intellectual skill and emotional intelligence.
The Role of Accountability:
Lekalake has drawn conclusions by fully applying his mind or emotions… and remains accountable for his actions or inactions.
This focus on accountability is the book’s backbone. It serves as a reminder that understanding spiritual influence does not absolve us of responsibility; rather, it increases the necessity of making “good decisions” with a clear perception of their long-term impact.
Impact and Audience:
This work is intended for a broad audience —men and women of all ages—who feel a “desire to do well.” It is particularly relevant for:
- Community Leaders: Seeking to understand the root causes of social decay.
- Seekers: Those looking to understand the “unseen” variables in their personal successes and failures.
- Environmentalists: Readers interested in how spiritual alignment affects our stewardship of the earth. Final Thoughts: A Decision is Spiritual is a sobering yet hopeful reminder that our lives are not lived in a vacuum.
Kgomotso Lekalake successfully argues that by “looking back and listening carefully,” we can reclaim our decision-making power from negative influences. It is a manual for those who wish to leave the world better than they found it, one conscious, spiritually-aligned choice at a time.
