Trinity of pain

[Monica]

Though that is a bit difficult to understand when you are the one on the recieving end. All this talk of cataylst this and catalyst that... makes me wonder if this is really necessary for our growth... but it is instead for their growth.

Who is "they"?

By "instead for their growth" who are you referring to?

You seem to be indicating that you consider "they" (the STS entities, the 'bad guys') to be the cause of the catalyst.

But that's not what the Law of One tells us. The STS entities aren't the designers of 3D reality. They just have their role to play, like everyone else. They seem to be doing the dirty work...there seems to be catalyst built into the system. And we know that STS entities are serving the Creator...so that means the Creator, all the way down to the Sub-Logos who designed the system, had a hand in allowing STS entities to do what they do.

So thus, back to the trinity of pain. How does one release this pain and get on with life... only to have more pain heaped on. And thus the cycle continues with no seeming end. Unending pain.

You are referring to the Wheel of Karma. Ra told us the answer to that question: Forgiveness. Only forgiveness, of both self and other-self, halts the cycle of Karma.

Pain stunts growth. This is how I see it. Struggle stunts growth. It contracts rather than expands.

According to our Confederation friends, each of us eagerly chose to incarnate here, knowing full well that we would experience pain. I too have questioned whether pain is necessary. There is another thread devoted to this topic, in which I expressed my intentions to complain about the supposed necessity of suffering, when I leave this realm.

So whether pain is necessary for growth may be questionable. But, according to the Law of One, the pain of experience here in 3D doesn't stunt growth; it facilitates growth. So much so that we chose to participate in this reality, so that we may grow. Q'uo has spoken in great detail about this.

Many children have heard the phrase : " I am doing this for your own good and it hurts me more than you." This is how I view the trinity of pain. It is all well and good to say "I am doing this for you as you beat a child with a belt." because the agressor holds all the power.

I agree that that is a horrible thing to say to a child. In many cases, what parents think is discipline is really abuse. But they don't know any better because that is how they were raised.

I see a distinction between the trinity of pain and 3D's design of catalyst. The abuser (in this case, the PTB, ie. STS entities) may think they are doing this "for our own good" but if they are really STS, they know full well it's for their good, not ours. Only an STO entity would do something with the motivation of helping other-selves, and then it would be like a loving parent, not an abuser.

So some degree of pain might be likened to the loving, but firm discipline of a loving parent. But manipulation, control, abuse...as are perpetrated by STS entities...those are more like abuse.

And yet, even they end up accomplishing some good, eventually...although I most definitely question why there can't be an easier way! And that's what I intend to report back to the Creator when I get the opportunity.

when I look around and see all the despair being heaped on children and women and men world wide, the devestation being done to the Earth--- I see the abuse of power in the hands of the few saying with great Arrogance "it is for your own good and this hurts me more than you." I find this to be the antithesis of Christ Light. And ultimately a violation.

Maybe it is. Maybe our lesson is to become indignant and make different decisions next time our Higher Selves design the curriculum on some future planet/school.
