“Why did this happen to me?” A question given to readers to divine the reasons as to why XYZ event/experience happened to a client. Well…I say that XYZ happened and there is no use trying to waste energy and time trying to divine the exact reason why whatever happened.
Seriously. What’s the point? This event/experience happened and we can only react and respond to What Is Now. I find that most people are unable to not spend all of their precious minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years ruminating on this insidious need to learn why XYZ happened. The rare few can spend a meditation/reflection/contemplation afternoon self-session, divine some interesting perspectives, and then respond to the Now.
I’m not afraid to explain to a client the unnecessary time wasted in trying to uncover the secret for XYZ event’s occurrence. Especially with an Audio Read because I’ll just not fulfill the inquiry, not request payment, and then email the client why I am denying the Audio Read request. During a live consultation, I’ll explain that it would be better to look ahead to the probabilities that would birth from the choices made today.
Most of the time the answer to the question would be that Higher Mind has signified a marker in time that the client is now to change and that new possibilities will arise from the new series of choices a client will make in response to the event/experience.
Obviously, there are nuances and do remember that there is free will. A human committing an atrocious act of violence against another human is not something that I would consider to be directed from the Divine. However, the event happen so one must respond to What Is.
To move through the emotion. It would be damn near impossible not to react with a “negative” emotion to an event/experience that is awful, painful, and full of sorrow. However, the human’s energy system will filter the emotion, the energy, and the experience out of the conscious and unconscious minds if the emotional reaction is felt, honored, and transmuted.
I watched a video with Carolyn Myss this afternoon and it was such a delicious synchronistic wink from Higher Mind. Maybe you’ll find some treasures in this video.
Why did that thing happen to you? I don’t know. You may find a reason or a motive or a possible explanation, but don’t hold your breath.
Life happens. Things happen. Not everything is your fault and not everything is of the Universe condemning you to hell.
Healthily respond, reflect, and make new choices based upon What Is.
