Suffering Has a Noble Purpose

“Suffering may come to them (children) out of the blue or it may come as the consequence of their own mistakes.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could spare them from all suffering?  No, it wouldn’t.  They would not evolve as human beings and would remain shallow, identified with the external form of things.  Suffering drives you deeper.

The man on the cross is an archetypal image.  He is every man and every woman.  As long as you resist suffering, it is a slow process because the resistance creates more ego to burn up.  When you accept suffering, however, there is an acceleration of that process which is brought about by the fact that you suffer consciously… In the midst of conscious suffering, there is already the transmutation.  The fire of suffering becomes the light of consciousness.”  Eckhart Tolle, “A New Earth,” p. 101-102.

 

 

Forgive And Let it Go

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”  “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” These were famous Gandhi quotes.

“Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone.  You can always choose how to react to something. When you incorporate this thought habit more and more into your life, then you can react in a way that is more useful to yourself and others.

You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you, and the people in your world, a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in the present moment.

If you don’t forgive, then you let the past and this other person control how you feel. By forgiving, you release yourself from those bonds.”

How To Recover From Personal Disappointments – Lama Sing

 A Lama Sing Personal Reading helps one to adapt to life in a progressed fashion.  A favorite Lama Sing quote of mine is: “It is very important that each entity in the Earth plane considers themselves in the nature that the Master has, that they look to themselves as already perfect, and consider life a means by which they can express this perfection and nothing more. It is a glorious honor, a blessing, a privilege, to be in the Earth; and it is a wondrous opportunity to become aware of what you already are.“
Below is an excerpt from a 2008 Lama Sing Personal Reading that applies to many of today’s challenging situations.

“As you look at, as you did in past, the events and circumstances and certain disappointments in your life as you did, you limit yourself.  Rather, see these things of the past and others that might be forth coming as gifts to you, given with a note of loving humor.   A bit of tongue in cheek in that choice of words.  Opportunities the better… Look at these from the Spirit.  Look at these not from the temporal.  From that which is being used as the instrument for the discovery, for the awakening, for the contribution, for the service, as in past, referring to this life, this physical body and this journey.  But see these things from an attitude of lightness and joy knowing this is one step on the pathway and the journey that has been chosen as a service to and with those other children of God who are upon that same journey.”

“You have on several occasions been present when the Master was about those works as indicated.  In those times, even in the confrontation of what could be called non-accomplishment, failure.  There was not the disappointment but rather wonder and lightness at finding that this path did not function the way it was anticipated.  It was considered a discovery, an enlightenment, and something to build upon, not held personally or emotionally.  For so doing greatly limits self and prevents the expression of that joy which is the nature of your spirit, and of course, your soul.”

“Never judge self by the outcome in the Earth.  For the Earth is not always respectful of the spirit and love of those striving to serve.  The return of the love and joy of service comes from within self, from the wellspring within and from that Light that cometh to thee as you give these on the part of those whom are served and those you encounter.  Be cautious not to judge your own creations where this is in word, deed, or a literal creative work based upon the actions or reactions or the non-reactions of others and disappointments in the past.  What could be called betrayal is merely a discovery.  It is not intended to be a burden.  See?  Be lighthearted with self and the same with life.  See life as a wondrous opportunity for discovery.”
