Learning What We Will Teach

You might reasonably ask yourself why are we on this planet to learn something that we know absolutely and live as a fact of life all of the places in other lives on other planets, everywhere - why we on this planet living the lives we are living, to learn patience.

We call it patience on this planet and many other words for it in other languages as well as in English because it is something that is often hard to do. And yet, beyond this planet it is so natural there is no word for it - it is just life.

We accept it, we welcome it, we live it but here because we do not remember our other lives as being a portion of the sequence of our existence then we are forced to learn patience or at least discover if it has value in our lives.

This can only mean one thing and that's that we are being entrusted to learn something because of others we will be working with at some point.

I have been told in the teaching I've received, and I believe on the basis of my experience, that we are all here to learn - and I think that you may agree with that.

Is that learning because we don't know or is it possible that that learning isn't because we don't know. That learning is to be able to have compassion and to identify with what others are going through so we can be good teachers and yes - Guides.

I believe that many of us, possibly all of us, are here because this is guide school. Some day in lives on other planets, in other existences we are going to be guiding beings and as you know the best teachers you've probably ever had didn't teach you something that they had no experience with - they taught you something that may just have soaked in because they had been there, they had done that and they had resolved it in their own way and while one example of resolution from one teacher may not be enough - once you've met many teachers who have all resolved it in similar or completely different ways whatever the problem is it begins to soak in doesn't it. These people know what they're talking about and maybe I could learn something from paying attention to their experience.

I believe this is guide school and I believe that we are learning something in this way on this planet because of those we will work with someday.

If you stand back and look at life here a little bit you might see that that makes sense even though it doesn't make life here any easier. I believe this is also why life here is not that long for many of us.

Oh yes, we've all heard about people who live to be a hundred - a hundred and five and so on and this is always interesting at the very least but most people do not live that long. I believe this is Creator's gift.

This is school and very often it's difficult. Certainly there are joys and many times of happiness to say nothing of humor and fun but there is also difficulty and struggle and yes - pain.

I believe that Creator has set this up as a school for us so that we could learn compassion and patience which we have absolutely in other lifetimes, in other existences and I believe everywhere else. The only possible reason Creator would do that is because Creator is helping us to learn something that we will teach. This is what I believe.

Goodlife to you all.

Dreams In A World Of Compassion

Have you been having any intense dreams lately - ones with feelings that are so intense that you wake up with your heart pounding?

I have these dreams sometimes also. They are not meant to frighten us, though that's the way we remember them.

In my experience these are teaching dreams - someone is teaching us and we are learning.

In our life here we experience ourselves as individuals. We don't, as a rule, feel other people's feelings. Oh we have these experiences to a degree if there is an intense feeling in one place stimulated by something - perhaps we are in a theatre and we are swayed by the drama going on on stage or in the movies or other people around us are reacting to something and we might get caught up in it as well.

But what's going on in these intense dreams is what I believe to be training. So much of what we need to develop these days is compassion. We don't have to experience and live other people's lives directly, of course not but we do need to have a sense of feeling - not necessarily empathy where we take on the feelings of others but a sense of true compassion where we can sympathize to the best of our ability with others and offer perhaps a sense of pathos or at the very least a sense of consideration and kindness towards those who are having a hard time.

Nothing may really be required of us other then that feeling and perhaps that consideration or kindness. We don't have to give away everything we have but that kind of consideration, that kind of kindness is often appreciated.

Sometimes the people who we are kind to don't demonstrate their appreciation, other times that appreciation is demonstrated only in subtle ways but if enough people do offer kindness - in time those who are suffering grasp that the world and those around them do have a sense of compassion towards them and this - for those who are suffering in those moments can be very comforting indeed.

I believe, in these dreams, we are learning what other people are feeling by temporarily feeling it ourselves. I do not believe however that the place where dreams exists is an actual place where human beings live. I feel it is a teaching theatre where our guides and teachers allow us to experience these feelings because we may be exposed to others who have them and we may therefore be called on to be compassionate.

I grant that there are other points of view about dreams and I do not claim to have all the answers but this is what I believe based on my experience.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
