This morning, you asked a beautiful question:
“If we are experiencing the illusion of separation so that You can expand, how will there ever be an end to human suffering? If living the contrast is part of the way You understand what it means to be You (becoming all-knowing through our experience of not knowing) how will people ever be released from suffering?”
The answer is simple, but not easy: Challenges are necessary. Suffering is not.
Do you remember what it was like to feel sunset as a child? The sun’s setting evoked a gut-wrenching mixture of rapture and melancholy. You didn’t simply watch each beautiful sunset. At a visceral level, you felt the death of another day.
Saying goodbye to each day was like saying goodbye to a dear friend. Each sunset was exquisite and special because each day held a precious unique energy.
The same was true when you watched waves crashing on the seashore on a cloudy day. The loneliness that scene evoked had nothing to do with your life on a personal level. The feeling was inspired by nature herself, not your own life experience.
As humans evolve into higher levels of consciousness, their personal experience of emotions like grief, loss, loneliness and fear will dissipate. They will continue to face obstacles and overcome challenges. But the challenges will be faced in a spirit of equanimity similar to what you felt while witnessing a sunset or observing waves on a cloudy day.
All-That-Is will continue to grow and expand through the poignancy of emotions, which mirror the profound depth of feeling inspired by nature. Your experience with nature will become more sensitized as you transcend the violent human experiences that evoke emotions like pain, jealousy, and suffering. You will finally discover the exquisite beauty in each and every richly nuanced life experience.
