Sitting 102: Acceptance
Dearly beloved siblings we are gathered here in love and in friendship so that we may continue the way that we know best to enlighten you all in the trials and tribulations of life on the physical plane.
The first of these concerns the acceptance of these things as being the only way you can fully understand the meaning of fretfulness and pain and the necessity of understanding why these things are brought to you. During your sojourn through the levels of spirit you do not come in to fretful situations nor do you experience pain so you cannot relate to others, when they are on the physical plane, going through these things. We have mentioned before that you will desire to be of service to others and one of the ways to do this is to be a guide or helper to someone who is incarnating and you will be able to help them better if you have been through these situations yourself. This is only one of the many reasons for coming to the earth but it is quite important that you have the experience and can relate to it in your work as a guide or helper.
It is like the man who tends his sheep, and through experience can spot the one who is ailing or the ones who are determined to go their own way. All this intuition on the part of the shepherd helps him in his job and the same applies to us as we try to guide you upon the earth to go the right way.
