Not abandoned by God - Pepi

[Guest guest]

Pepi, in some circles there is the interesting belief that we live not

one life but many, being reincarnated many times in an effort to achieve

a true level of enlightenment and thereby take our rightful place in the

wonder of creation. A line of thinking intrinsic to this perception of

life, death and creation is the concept of choice and freewill....that

we are not just born and subjected to life in this reality with its ups

and downs, good fortune and bad but actually stand in the spirit world

and with informed consent agree to take on the life we now have.

Sometimes we do it to circle back and correct wrongs committed in

another life, but possibly also to take on the harsher issues of this

realm that prevent all mankind from rising to their true heavenly

inheritance.

What this means is, that in order for others to have an opportunity to

grow spiritually some of us must take on the mantel of those

circumstances that offer our fellow human beings the chance to step

outside of their normal selfish selves and cross over into a place of

greater understanding. There is no better invitation to ascend to a

higher level of awareness than that which is offered through the

opportunity to be compassionate. And certainly attempting to alleviate

the suffering of an ill individual is one of the most compassionate acts

in which anyone can engage.

This is a tremendous undertaking for all spirits involved, the

responsibility is great, but no doubt the rewards are greater still.

Perhaps we in the lyme community are a unique group of spiritual

soldiers who on a higher plane willingly took on this mantel of physical

oppression in a grand effort to better, not just ourselves, but all of

mankind. There is no doubt that the knowledge and understanding that

can be gained by bringing our collective suffering to light will advance

not just medical treatment of such illnesses, but probably promote

greater insight into our planet, its environment and of course,

ourselves.

Not everyone goes in for this interpretation, but I find it is less

traumatic on the soul than constantly pondering the " why me " victim

scenario. That line of thinking can be spiritually draining and

debilitating. Bad things happen to good people and I would like to

believe that there is a better reason for this than just some kind of

random spinning of the karmic wheel or some type of retribution for a

punishable sin at work. Nobody's perfect and we all must experience

growing pains to become spiritually aware......but its hard to justify

some of the terrible things that go on in our world by saying that the

people they happen to deserve what they get.

Heaven knows every tear that has ever been shed and the lyme community

has certainly shed more than its share! I'd like to believe that all of

this suffering is not due so much to atonement for individual

transgressions but some kind of united effort on all of our parts to

bring forth a collective good for ourselves and mankind! :-)

Just offering a different perspective.......
