We create our own reality! We have heard this over and over, from so many trustworthy and reliable sources; but it’s still sometimes a very difficult truth to acknowledge.

When something bad happens through no fault of yours, or when someone does something to you that you judge bad, we have to look at the bigger reality than just this one event, stuck in a certain moment in time.

Because we are eternal, infinite Beings, a part of Life, a part of the Source of all existence that cares for the ultimate good of all of its creation – and that goes way beyond this life of yours. After all, we have had countless human lives before this one, and some of them were good, others were bad; so bad that we were burned at the stake, or drowned as witches, or had some other horrible misfortunes happen to us, and yet, here we are, not any worse off because of those experiences.

In fact, we are better off now, since it is not only our own personal consciousness that has evolved, but also the collective consciousness of all of humanity that no longer lives in those times we call “the dark ages”. Overall, we have progressed, and will continue to progress because as we all know, there are still some very dark sides to our various cultures and nations that need up-grading.

We could learn to become better beings without hardships and challenges, but unfortunately, that is rarely the case. From the time we are a baby, we learn not by being told things, but by experience!
–Don’t touch a hot stove!
–Don’t grab a lighted candle! Don’t…! Don’t…! Don’t…!
— Ouch! Screams and tears, and maybe a trip to the hospital…, and the baby never does that again! Until the next thing to beware of appears!

So You created everything in your life, because nothing can come to you except through your Consciousness; and when You planned those unpleasant things for yourself, You had the full awareness of your Higher Self, that saw all your past lives as well as all your future lives – because they are all simultaneous to your Higher Self, who You are – even if you don’t realize that right now. And so, it planned the quickest and best way for you to reach the moment of your enlightenment – of being One with God again that is our ultimate and highest destination.

Sometimes we realize it before the enlightenment comes, and most times we do not. But we can work our way towards that outcome by knowing everything works for our highest good no matter how it appears in the moment; by treating every challenge as an opportunity to take one more step up the ladder; by not blaming, judging or criticizing anyone or anything; and so, knowing there is never anyone to forgive, since no wrong has ever been done.
