"Our Relationship to Pain"

The Choice for Trust
a podcast by Julie

To listen:http://lightomega.org/podcast/media/The-Choice-for-Trust.mp3

Trust resides as a natural occurrence in the deeper layers of the heart. It is present as part of the soul's truth
and can communicate itself to the conscious being as a sense of the goodness of life.
This sense of goodness can be present even in the face of obstacles or difficulties. (Nov. 24, 2013)

Do not fear that God forgets you in your pain and need.
This cannot happen, for God’s heart is interwoven
with your own,
and there is no feeling you have that is not shared.

THE PRINCIPLE of LIGHT in RELATION to PAIN and to the SOUL
by Julie

What is the 'principle of light' that may be applied to pain? It is this: That a 'way through' can be found in the presence of any level of difficulty. This does not mean that the difficulty itself will disappear, only that if one asks, if one reaches, the means will be given to get through it emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually. This premise is based on the assumption of Divine goodness inherent in the soul nature of every living human being. Because we live on the Earth, because we live in bodies, the soul that inhabits these physical expressions can provide the 'way of light' through any seemingly insurmountable challenge.

God's love is present in this interpretation of reality, although some might think that the obliteration of pain itself would be a far greater expression of love. Nevertheless, that outcome can only become possible through the circumstance of spiritual evolution creating a point at which pain as a teacher is no longer needed. Before that, it cannot simply be 'done away with.' Yet, in the presence of challenge, in the presence of pain, God's love expressed as the 'light of the soul' can shine through.

What is the 'principle of light' that relates to the presence of the soul within each embodied being? It is this: That the soul's presence is continuous and eternal. For each human being it is always radiating the light and truth that is part of its inherent nature. Why then, one may ask, does not each human being feel and experience their own soul? This is a complex matter, due to the fact that while the soul remains eternally present, access to that awareness may disappear for shorter or longer periods of time, sometimes for lifetimes. When this happens it is a great sorrow for the embodied being. For it is soul awareness that allows us to contact the deeper truths by which we live. It is soul awareness that allows us to believe in the goodness of life, even in the presence of all that is destructive and harmful. And it is soul awareness that lets us know in the deepest possible way that we are children of the Creator."

Dearest Friends,

With All blessings,

Replace all thoughts of limitation with thoughts
of possibility.
Believe in your own capacity to be healed and let
God’s light do the rest.

CHRONIC CONDITIONS OF LIMITATION -
THEIR SPIRITUAL PURPOSE and ORIGIN
by Julie

"Many souls have chosen, at this time, to experience long-term conditions of emotional or physical limitation or illness for reasons not easily understandable at the human level. This is because it is part of the embodied condition to wish for pain and limitation to diminish or stop altogether, rather than to continue. Nevertheless, it happens more often than is obvious that the soul chooses a long-term arrangement of limitation in order to further the spiritual purposes of the soul.

Such a purpose cannot ordinarily be determined by thinking about it. More often, there is an intuition which comes through the heart from the soul or from an inner knowing that conveys to the embodied self a willingness to be forbearing and to endure in trust, knowing that some greater good is being served.

It happens for many souls that greater spiritual advancement takes place as the result of the experience of limitation than would otherwise occur. This is in keeping with the decision of the soul to make more rapid progress under conditions that may seem like the opposite of advancement, namely, the limitation of what is. Such an impression generally corresponds to the outer view, not to the inner.

Souls who may be carrying a great deal of light, for example, may choose a path of accelerated purification and spiritual growth through the taking on of an emotional or physical condition that the human embodied self wishes and longs to have removed or be significantly diminished. This can be especially painful where the human self experiences a great desire to serve God in an outer way and finds itself unable to do so because of the limitations that are present."

Take nothing for granted.
Cherish all that is given.
For each experience you have is
meant to bring to you a greater good.
Even the painful ones are thus contrived.
To cherish all is to live in a state of grace.

SACRIFICE AND THE SOUL'S CHOICE
by Julie

“To 'sacrifice' something is to let go of something or to endure or bear the pain of something in order to further the purposes of a higher ideal that partakes of the Divine. It is in service to this higher ideal that one gives up something precious in order to bring
something even more precious into being.”

"Pain is a teacher, and what it teaches
resonates with the soul in its desire
to become embodied, in its desire to
manifest."
