Oh yes MM, you speak truth. Our true nature is not physical, not of the Earth. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter! (Master Yoda) Now rather than flaming me for the quote, consider the meaning. As players on the Earth stage we're given (or even choose?) roles that may challenge our physical selves; but if we can hang on to our spiritual selves, does not the rest of it tend to fall into place? So much we do not understand because we unintentionally block the signal. Energy beams us Life but what we do with it is free will. Suffering might not be necessary... have we somehow brought it on, collectively, through negative thinking, poor choices, ego? Just throwing this out there, obviously, and grasping for threads to hang onto myself. I wonder now that I'm about to face my demons in T, when I give up the struggle to hold it in, keeping things from myself, stop building The Wall... will there be terror or relief?
