This part of yesterday’s post was asked to be explained.

“Fret not at what is violent and horrible, and we ask your forgiveness for what we expect   shall be interpreted as a callous, uncaring thought by these words. There is great value in the acts of horror and suffering and more than this even, there is choice. We suggest there will be great choice to face you all soon….”

 Well then, what’s a Committee for? On with the show…

  C = The Committee and ST = substitute teacher

C:        We thank you for the request that we might explain.

What is horrible for its violence cannot be undone, as you know well. React not at the past; consider what you might have observed for a purpose or a meaning. If this has happened to you; we beg your forgiveness if you might feel our words are ungracious, we intend this not at all.

What follows the event is the experience that teaches; we know of the kindness of the many of you when tragic events have come to pass, when these have affected your friends or loved ones or even you. This kindness is not automatic on your Earth; this skill is often learned and this learning can come from the experience of a tragedy. It is an experience of little comparison through the universe. There is no greater gain to be known anywhere else; your Earth is nearly unique for this.

Many of you have read or know from your soul’s knowledge that Earth is a “rough place” to live, as you might describe it; yes, it can be for many souls. These tragedies of violence and horror, that seem to have no sense, they have purpose and value. In your experience you would never choose them and do all that is possible to avoid them, yet they happen. Is the incidence of these acts always random, always arbitrary and always the result of an error or a wrong in the life of the actor who might commit them? Can your existence on Earth be haphazard in this way; so risky and unknown upon a place of such beauty and abundance? We know you see what we say.

The hurt, pain and injury all of you have we feel also; challenge there is for the Guardian who knows what will befall his beloved soul, what he or she has chosen to survive; there is no levity in this.

Your illusion of time is what drags the pain; as you will instantly recall when your return home so joyous comes to you, will be the knowledge you have of the before and the after as you lived them on Earth. To see the result, as a runner might view the finish or a climber the summit, makes the effort worth its toil. You have chosen to place this vision behind a veil and so you see the cause and not the end.

There is a choice, on Earth as there is in Heaven, as these things are seen. These things are not imposed just by evildoers for the effect, as it often seems and can sometimes be. We ask forgiveness that it might seem these events are deserved; they are not. We do not suggest this; these tragedies are not deserved by anyone. There is no punishment of tragedy for past acts of ill will, violence or death.

There is deep compassion, sorrow and love for the soul of the person who might cause these great pains and there is a choice for all who surround this event. Revenge, forgiveness, retribution, punishment, condemnation, supplication and compassion are all within the range of human decision and of your soul there are many more.

Soon on your Earth there shall be great choices for you all; there will be great challenges to come to your door and some will force their way in. Some are occurring now; there has been a storm in the USA to bring much damage and loss of lives. This is not isolated or an ending; there will be events of similar and other serious effects.

What choices will be presented? We offer that your decisions will be from that you choose to see; what you might select, to use a word from your marketing, of what is before you. We encourage all of you to open your minds as far as you might and consider all goodwill to all around you; consider deeply the hurt or the evil or the pain of a person who might fall victim to, or become wrongdoer among you.

Place yourselves in these shoes as you would place yourself in a new house or car; inside a thing of value you might admire and desire. As you can imagine this thing of pleasure, of contentment that surrounds you, imagine your placement within the person you love or hate. You enter their inner space; that space inside your mind, this place inside to where you retreat always. This place where you find your mind as you drift into sleep, where the outside hurts but cannot reach. Where your eyes are closed and your thoughts belong only to you; this sacred place we all have. Place yourself inside this inner sanctum of your subject and look at what is seen there. How will you choose and what will you say to the person who you love from the bottom of your heart, if you could share this space? What might you say to a person who you believe you hate with every fiber of your existence, so you believe. What will you say?

Practice this but a few times; remember briefly this practice and then move forward and emphasis on it no longer need you place. In the time of tribulation, this seed will have germinated and sprouted and so your choice, by your preparation, will come clear and simple your idea and you will know what you might say; this is the choice.

We all love you. Remember this in all moments and thoughts, with no regard to your place on Earth. This not so important it is as you might see it now; your true place is in your home, where we wait and love you and know that you will remember and love us again as you always have.

ST:      Esteemed Committee, we thank you.
