How Could I Have Chosen That?! Life Plans to End Karma
Details
If we choose our families and life lessons before we’re born, then how can we ever accept and learn from abuse and tragedy? Join us this Sunday Sept 3, 2023 for a free compassionate look at how to own your life story with self-love and forgiveness. No more victim blaming! No more covering up for abusers! No more karmic pressure! For too long people have made twisted explanations for why bad things happen to good people, including punishment and payback for something you did wrong in this or a previous life. The caste system of supposedly enlightened ancient India is one example of a cruel invention to keep people in roles of suffering. Any culture of dominating power over is just pure negativity which shows up most clearly in early childhood abuse, and most abusers have a history of this. Nobody deserves abuse, ever - especially not children!
The unfairness of abuse is a major obstacle to people understanding how they can create their own reality. Some people prefer a judgmental religion - ooh I get to blame and punish somebody else for my problems - while other folks hate it. I agree with atheists who argue there can’t be a God who is less human than decent people who just want to end suffering. Then I try to explain how God - aka Goddess, Great Spirit, Creator, Source – is always guiding everyone to be happy and healthy, but negative beliefs block our ability to listen. That’s when the atheists and theists both take offense – what, are you saying God isn’t omnipotent? That’s right, the Source can do everything except override our own choices, and those choices can be based on mistakes and manipulation. We’re creators in training, so like it or not we get to choose which thoughts to believe in, thus determining how we will react and get treated. Sooner or later we need to see the spiritual wisdom of respecting freewill, even when it means we can get stuck in suffering until we learn how to say no and change our own choices.
Respecting freewill isn’t actually an option, so it’s not like God has a choice in the matter. The whole idea of domination says that some people are more important and powerful than others, so you better obey or deserve punishment. This is totally false, a corrupt negative explanation for how existence really works. Every consciousness exists in its own bubble of energy to create its own reality experience. Love enables us to resonate and synchronize bubbles with each other, so we can effectively share beliefs and appear in the same world together. If someone has a bad choice for you, you don’t have to go along with it. Every abuser is actually only able to abuse a part of themselves and then try to convince you to match it. Victims are taking on their abuser’s own abused inner selves, which is why victims often show a mysterious sympathy for their abusers. The more we learn to say no to abuse, abusers will collapse completely from their own self-abuse.
The Source will help us individually as much as we let it, but many social beliefs teach us to suffer to be a part of the group survival. Instead we can learn that the Source is our only true belonging and safety. We don’t have to share group worries and fears, like the saying you never know what will happen, you could be hit by a bus tomorrow. No, everyone has their own life track and lessons, starting from childhood challenges. Sadly, children often absorb abuse just to survive in families that should have protected them. Hopefully the child grows up to see those betrayals, say no to new abusers, and stop voting for dictators. The real lesson is to love yourself enough to drop the people and rules that aren’t good for you. Any life plan can be changed for more love, including plans that were made before you were born. Even spirits are still learning to love themselves, so nothing is carved in stone. Karma is a human invention, there’s no law to work something out with anyone. As Edgar Cayce said karma is just memory of what you last did together, so if you don’t like it then leave. “You had your chance to learn to love with me, now I can love more away from you!”
For this meetup, ask yourself what are the biggest traumas and mistakes of your life that feel like they left you crippled. Imagine there are new ways of healing with the Source that just got blocked by fears, judgments, and blame. After check-ins, we’ll review the reality creation design of the real Universe, and how time is not really sequential so it’s never too late to heal anything. We’ll look at the kinds of negative and limiting belief systems that really cripple people, and how to forgive your own mistakes to return to your soul and the Source for the fresh start that was always the real lesson. We’ll conclude with a helpful meditation.
Best wishes,
