Why would the Creator elect to create suffering for ITself?

[ricdaw]

Suffering does seem to be a fundamental characteristic of the Earth Life School (see Tarot cards Fool, Strength, Temperance, Devil and Tower). We are constrained in our Free Will by these archetype patterns laid down by the Galaxy, as modified by our Sun.

Agreed. I would ask however if we as the adept nearing 4D, or perhaps wandering from 5D or 6D, may minimize it as part of our lives and as one of the experiences towards refining/manipulating/creating ones life experience as part of breaking the illusion if you will?

That said, the Adept has quite powerful ways to do Reality Creation (even in the ELS) and probably could avoid much suffering.

I am most keen to hear more of your sentiments as regards this if you are interested in revealing more. I will confess that this is one of the more titillating of points I have been experimenting with for quite a long stretch of my own life experience and is perhaps a most powerful and elegant tool. It resonates with me. Humorously it reads as quite profound and deep. Simplified to its extreme, it may simply be read as "Playing In The Fields Of The Lord" with ones life in the manner one would more like to live it.

There is an exercise of some utility. A thought exercise, if you will.

Believe that all that happens to you is known, planned and accepted by a part of yourself outside of time. In other words, you consent to events in and of your life. And you also plan them. Just assume this is true for the sake of the exercise, and don’t get hung up if you don’t believe it is true.

When suffering comes, pretend you were your “outside of time” self who had the big perspective, and ask yourself, “why would I do this to myself?” Assume that the you “outside of time” is really really you, not some “evil-Spock” alternate universe twin with a wicked sense of humor. It’s you.

I have found that a bit of pondering leads to some interesting inspirations.

Why did my boss get all over my ass in that meeting when he could have come to me in private? Becomes: why would I make it so that my Boss got all over my ass in that meeting? What was there to learn?

Hmmm. Did I ever do that to someone else? (Karma balancing)
This has happened again and again all my adult life. What energy is the boss expressing that I express too? Or that I completely lack and need to see how it works? Are there similarities between all my bosses past and present? Am I lacking an innate sense of character that I keep choosing the wrong boss? Or is it that I keep going back to a profession that I need to leave? Is this Big Self trying to “push” me out of this lucrative job and into something else? Are there are similar kinds of things that validate any of these thoughts?

You get the point. Pretending (or believing) that there are no accidents and that events always always have a purpose, tends to take the brain to strange places. I have found that every time I put my noggin to work, I am able to explain my suffering as a form of “communication” from Big Self to Little Self. I can decode the message. And if I take action on the message, suddenly the repeating patterns stop happening. Having gotten the message, the universe changes to a new series of things to deal with.

I find that catalyst (suffering) always ramps up until the underlying message is received. And that message is never “learn to endure” (at least not for me) but always an exhortation to action and to change.

Repeating this mental exercise over and over does a strange thing too: it increases flow. Things get easy. Suffering gets smaller. Since you begin to “decode” smaller and smaller catalyst (why did I cut my finger?) you get the message sooner and sooner. And thus you get to avoid the escalation that is done to get your attention.

Life is a dream. Treat every event and person as a symbolic message from your Larger Self. Act on the inspiration you receive as if it were really true. What happens then?

Magic happens.

And recognition of that leads to joy. (I am aware there is a Plan. I am acting WITH the Plan!)

And joy leads to vibration and light.

And then, vibration and light will bring a new kind of catalyst into your life. The Other Self attracted to you for no conscious reason. But since YOU are conscious now, YOU know why they are there: so that you may offer Service.

And you share a thought experiment with the Other Self that perhaps they should pretend that what happens to them is known, planned and accepted by a part of themselves outside of time. . . .
