Why Life Can Have Pain and Tragedy?

TRAGEDIES: People often wonder why really terrible things happen to people in this world. One must realize that we live in an extremely challenging world in which natural and unnatural disasters and tragedies happen. We have hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, famines, disease etc. We have bad accidents with our modern vehicles and technology. We have wars and people subject to really harsh conditions and terrible abuse. People can live lives that are really extremely painful and challenging. Some people may think that this means that our reality was poorly designed by God or universal spiritual forces.

But, if one believes in reincarnation, then people who have really tragic lives, will also have lives in which things will work out better for them. Things tend to balance out over time, but this balance can take more than one lifetime to balance out. Going through a lot of pain and hardship makes one appreciate when things are going well, and helps one to persevere so as to achieve a lot when the goings are really rough and big obstacles frustrate ones progress. The spirit will retain the spiritual/emotional strength its gains from having really rough lives and be able to utilize what it gains from one lifetime in future lives.

No matter how good our spiritual radar is, we can not avoid all the dangers that exist in this precarious multiverse, and at times may choose to expose oneself to these dangers for some important reason. But, storms do pass and sunshine does return, things are always changing and over time(lifetimes) this reality we exist in is very fair and can work really well for us. It is good to keep working on ones spiritual radar through improving ones beliefs/programming, diet, and spiritual practices/training so that one can handle the intense challenges that life will bring your way. What ever happens to us, we will survive as a spirit, and often we will overcome situations we may feel are impossible at the time, provided we just do not give up and just keep putting forth all the effort we can muster so as to out last the forces that are impeding us.

I do believe strongly that we should work to make this world more human. We can limit the amount of tragedy that happens in this world and cut down on the amount of abusive and harsh conditions that happen here. We do not need to learn everything the hard way. There are better ways to toughen the spirit and develop more empathy than having to go through terrible tragedies, that often take quite a bit of time to heal from so as to utilize the strength gained by having experienced them. We can use really tough spiritual training to toughen ourselves up spiritually/emotionally so that we can handle all sorts of really intense/rough conditions well.

In order to be helpful to people who are struggling with extremely rough times or are overcoming very intense trauma from a tragedy they or someone close to them has experienced, one has to be really able to handle this type of tragic spiritual/emotional energy well. We need people who have the spiritual character that can handle a lot so as to be able to help those who are in need support in times of tragedy, and to also be able to help tackle the intense problems in this world that leads to way too much tragedy. It is time for us to advance further spiritually in this world and make it a lot more humane place to incarnate in.

Overcoming Challenges

SPIRITUAL STRENGTH TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES AND DEAL WITH CHALLENGES. I believe one develops strength by going up against resistance. I see the physical world as providing this necessary ingredient. I believe that one must be incarnates in this resistant physical environment in order to have the strength to really help make things happen spiritually. This belief in the importance of the physical aspect of our reality strongly affect how I believe the spiritual work.

So I tend to empower the spirits that are now incarnated in this physical world and make these spirits very responsible for the state this world is in spiritually. I see spirits(without bodies)as being very very helpful to us because of the freedom the spirit world provides them with, but dependent on the spiritual energy that we(incarnated spirits)generate. When we pray or meditate we do tend to send spiritual energy out that can be utilized by these helpful spirits to benefit us or others we pray/meditate for. I believe prayer and meditative techniques can help people directly who need it, or indirectly through the helps of these non-incarnated spirits. God would be the umpire making sure the universal rules that make our reality able to work for our benefit are maintained.

I believe that meditative/mind-body techniques can have strong spiritual impact on oneself and those one influences spiritually. I believe the body is a really valuable spiritual tool provided we learn to use it properly and effectively. When we leave our body at death, I believe we will retain our spiritual strength we gained by taking on tough spiritual challenges during our lifetime, and be able to use it to be helpful to those living in a physical world(including loved ones left behind) who are able to feed you the type of spiritual energy that is in harmony with the type of spirit you are. I believe all individual type spirits must incarnate from time to time to keep healthy, aware, and strong. Some spirits may pick more advanced physical environments to incarnate in than others. Spirits while not incarnated in a body in a physical world are able to travel very rapidly through space to places they are really needed. This need will power the spirit. The spiritual is very much powered by need.

We are always exchanging energy with others and with the environment we are in. We tend to both feed on the spiritual energy now on this Earth and feed it back energy. Some people will make an effort to send out better spiritual energy than they take in. While others will just reflect the spiritual energy around then and not alter it much. A lot of people focus on fields of expertise other than the spiritual and will tend to reflect the prevailing spiritual energy that they are exposed to.

We do need the people who have a strong spiritual focus and time to meditate and use other spiritual practices to work hard to make a positive spiritual impact on the type of spiritual energy that prevails on this planet. This prevailing spiritual energy will be by most people represented mostly by how well they behave or perform in this world.
