Sitting 318: Pain on earth

Beloved Brother we would join you again in love and service for tonight we would speak of the pain which we all feel during our sojourn upon the earth plane. A great many of you believe that this pain which you feel is the work of our beloved Creator and it is amazing how many different reasons you give for this physical pain. Many think that it is caused by past karma which you must suffer and others are convinced that it is for your present lifestyle because you have not done the right thing or thought with the right compassion.

None of these reasons can be put down to karma and you can never find that karma will be worked out by physical pain. There are others who will say that there is no God for he would not allow you to suffer such pain if he was a true God. No, dear sibling neither God or any other spirit will deliberately set out to cause you pain. The only person to cause you pain is you yourself and the reason for this is that suffering pain is a part of your spiritual development.

It is not that you enjoy your suffering but just as you have two sides to every phaset of your being.

Just as you have a dark side as well as a light side, so you must develop joy and sadness, hope and despair, acceptance and rejection, and even love and hate, so that you will emerge in perfect balance, not with anyone else but with yourself.
