Reality Creation

[Stranger]

I feel like what you were saying before would be to imply that they should stay in those terrible circumstances because it is their "lesson".  

Not at all - ah, the joys of verbal communication!  

What I was consistently attempting to convey, with apparently limited success on my part, is the following:

Adverse circumstances carry the most precious gift to each soul: the gift of the opportunity to find love and polarize.  

If a soul manages to do that - find love in adversity - it has extracted the maximum benefit from the circumstance for itself.  At that point, by simple fact of the way nature works, its circumstances will begin to improve (all other things being equal, e.g., preincarnational plans, etc.).  This is efficient use of catalyst.

If the soul attempts to escape the circumstances without attempting to find love and acceptance (or control, if it's STS) I believe the lessons will recur anyway as the same conditions play out in different form.   This is avoidance of catalyst.

At no point would I suggest that one should wish to remain in miserable circumstances due to some form of spiritual masochism.  I am simply stating this: The most skillful way to respond to adversity is to bless it and find love for all involved, then proceed however one wishes - improving it, leaving it, manifesting something else - ideally, as long as whatever one does remains consistent with that love.

To clarify one additional point: I did not say that manifestation is wrong, but if used as catalyst avoidance, is not the most efficient way forward.
