QUOTE : A spiritual being views life as follows: “I came down to the planet Earth for a short time, and these are the experiences I got to have. They were challenging, but I handled them and am better off because of them.” You don’t suppress your issues, and you don’t allow them to become the foundation of your life. A past issue is just one of the many things that happened to help you grow. You don’t need to know why it happened. You don’t need to analyze its cause and effect, from a karmic point of view. All sorts of things happen every day, and you don’t understand why they happen. Yet you are comfortable handling them. You only insist on understanding the events that you can’t comfortably handle. Understanding becomes a crutch, a source of rationalization. If the mind can’t fit an event into its conceptual model, it insists on knowing why it happened. Better to accept reality first, then work with it in a constructive manner.
