A very dear friend just made
his transition from physical to non-physical, which is the impetus for this
writing. I want to share with you
something that has been going on for me for some time. This may be a little lengthy, but please hang
in there with me.
A little back ground – I have
two friends…one female (let’s call her “Missy”) and one male (let’s call him “Mister”). Each is ½ of a couple that are near and dear
to Don and me. I’ve known each for well
over 2 decades and am quite familiar with not only their spiritual beliefs but
their spiritual practices. In fact, I
have channeled for both on many occasions.
It is “Mister” who has just
transitioned. He was one of the kindest
and most gentle souls I have ever met. A
dedicated metaphysical student, he read incessantly, listened to tapes,
attended seminars, studied A Course In Miracles and meditated hours at a
time. More than that, he really altered
his thinking and general outlook on life and he was a blessing to everyone he
met. He bravely and good-spiritedly
battled Hodgkins for the last several years.
I know for a fact that he believed in the unseen, in the power of
thought and in the Galactic Federation.
I also know for a fact his intention was firmly set and never wavered in
his desire to be here for Disclosure and the New Awakening. And yet, he is no longer with us in the
physical.
“Missy” was raised a
Christian Scientist and has always been an ardent metaphysical student. She and her husband have created wellness
centers and have served the health conscious community for years. A few years ago “Missy” suffered an accident
which has left her in unbelievable pain.
Misdiagnosed for a long time, the general consensus now seems to be she
has some kind of brain injury. She is in
constant pain – it hurts to lie down, to sit, to stand, to open her eyes. “Missy” has access to every kind of healer in
the metaphysical community and she has utilized everyone she can. She has used traditional medicine, Chinese
medicine, Christian Science healers and even spent weeks in a Christian Science
clinic. She knows more about metaphysics
than just about anybody I know and she is diligent in her application of her
beliefs. And yet, she still suffers in
pain.
To say that I have spent
literally thousands of hours meditating about, praying for and praying about
these two friends would still be an understatement. Although I am well aware that these are their
journeys, those said journeys have at times caused me to truly question my
beliefs and my faith. I have asked for
answers, lessons, guidance, words for comfort for them…..ANYTHING. One of the reasons I have not written about
this sooner is that I keep hoping that I will have some clarity all of a
sudden. That I will understand. That I can help. After all these years of contemplation and
meditation on the subject, I still keep coming up with the same very
unsatisfying answer…….which is…..
It must simply be a matter of
Karma. Nothing else, NOTHING ELSE makes
any sense. Tied to that is the lesson
about judgment. I am forever being told “you
don’t have the perspective to judge”.
What I’ve come to know about that statement is this: Unless you know EVERY thing that has EVER
transpired in that soul’s journey, including the effects of ALL of its journey
on every other soul, and unless you know EVERY thing that will EVER happen to
that soul in its on-going, including the effects it will have on ALL other
souls it will ever encounter, then you do not have the perspective from which
to judge. And, as it has been revealed
to me, only God and Holy Spirit have that perspective. Hence, “you just don’t know enough to have an
opinion or judgment”.
As “Mister” was coming into
his final days, I also realized that it was quite possible that what I viewed
as his “suffering” and the “unfairness” of the situation might well be the very
last thing that he needed for soul ascension.
(I feel pretty safe in saying that I don’t think Mafu would have chosen
to be a leper, Ramtha to spend 7 years in pain on a rock, or Jesus that whole
cross bit if they could have had a conscious choice.) What I had to settle for was that I do not at
the present time have the perspective to “know” or understand why “bad things
happen to good people”. And I want you
to know, it is a personal struggle to be “satisfied” with that. My ego wants an answer to “why”. My heart wants to give comfort. My True Self wants to live in the knowledge
that there is nothing “wrong”, and that one day I may have “eyes to see”. Until that time, all I can do is offer my
unbounded love to “Mister” and his dear wife and to “Missy” and her dear
husband.
And, my love is given freely
to all of you -- JOAN
