Life Lessons

[Myst]

Although the ideal is to attract and get the positive side of everything that life gives us as lessons for our development! 

Hi John,
Thanks for your thoughts. Your post reminds me of something I have been processing in my mind. So, what do you think?

If we have possibly chosen certain VERY painful lessons to learn in this life, because we were not conscious enough upon incarnating to choose something more harmonious, can the painful lesson be changed to be something that will still teach us, without having to experience the pain of resistance?

It is my belief that all pain is resistance to accepting whatever it is that we do not wish to accept.

If I am carrying anger that I do not wish to accept, perhaps, I get bad stomach aches, even cancer of the stomach.

Or, maybe I planned on getting a throat dis-ease (as a need to suffer, self-punishment, or limitation) in this life, before I even incarnated, to teach me that I should be more careful of my words and their effects upon others, and prevent me from causing more harm in this way.

Is it possible to ask for a NEW, more harmonious, way to learn this LIFE LESSON?

If we have some recurring dis-ease that Reiki heals, but it keeps coming back, the lesson has not been learned and will continue to be experienced until the lesson is learned, Reiki or not.   ???

So, this is what I am processing: The concept that you can ask for your high self/guides/angels/god/etc. to find 5 new things that would be more harmonious(read less painful) to the soul AND the conscious mind that would still teach whatever lesson the disease is trying to teach. Then, the high self/etc. can show these 5 choices to the soul and allow them to choose a new experience, releasing the need for the old. (substitute a finite number or infinite number for 5...)

The other thought is that because I am new to Reiki, perhaps I misunderstand its total affect. Is it possible that since it is such a loving intelligent energy, eventually it shows the soul how the experience is harming it and the soul releases the need for the dis-ease.  I do not know if this is 100% TRUE or partially TRUE, or 100% false.

I just notice that even healers with many years experience sometimes have physical ailments that seem to be chronic, UNLESS they are always using Reiki or some other form of healing on themselves. Perhaps, I have misunderstood even this. 

At any rate, I put this out for any and all comments (loving please  ) from readers of this board.

Has anyone had experience with chronic illness or behaviour that does NOT respond 100% resolved FOREVER by Reiki?

Has anyone had experience trying to reprogram chronic illness/behaviour, replacing the pattern with a new way of learning the life.

Any other thoughts, expansions, or other ways to view these questions? What's YOUR truth?  :-*

Love and Peace,
Erin

Dear Myst Namaste
I admire your views although I would like to answer you with a question if its possible...
Is everyone able to choose the lessons of the school that s/he is going to beggin?
If later and after years of hard studies and brainstorming procedures...is the one able to continue to the University then s/he is able to choose the lessons that s/he prefer... 
The teacher is the Life! 
There is no way for a young child to tell the teacher what to teach,how,and when!
There are always and everywhere lessons to be learned necessarily !
Later the learning procedure depends from the will,the acceptance and the ability of each student to learn and assimilate!

Is it possible to ask for a NEW, more harmonious, way to learn this LIFE LESSON?

To do that you have to know first the lesson from before...only if you are a medium!lol
If not and you are already in the lesson procedure how will you stop/rewind amd play it again?
Thats why the un learned lessons are coming to each next life...

I just notice that even healers with many years experience sometimes have physical ailments that seem to be chronic, UNLESS they are always using Reiki or some other form of healing on themselves.

Reiki healers are simple human beings and there is a plan with lessons for them too!
There are situations where a healer sufers from the same disease which have heal many times to aothers!!!
That means that he is not able to learn/accept the given lesson to him!

Light and Joy ,Blessings and Wishes

Hi John,
Thank you, for your thoughtful response!  It was very helpful to me in "feedback" and helping me to move forward with establishing a new way of thinking about my experience of the world. 

Reiki healers are simple human beings and there is a plan with lessons for them too!

I am wondering... Do you believe that the lessons are chosen FOR us, or do you believe that WE choose the lesson? The reason I ask is because what we believe colors our experience.

You see, I believe that EVERYTHING in my life I create, positive or negative experience. Nothing happens to me that I do not create or have not agreed to. I am not always happy about it and try to put blame on others, but inside, I know that I am the creator or co-creator of every experience I have.

If that is so, then I also choose my own lessons. If that is so, then at any time, I can CHOOSE to change how I learn these lessons. At least, by my belief system. In accepting all the responsibility for my life experience, I also have freedom of choice.

To do that you have to know first the lesson from before...only if you are a medium!lol

I do not believe that I need to know what the lesson is, for the behaviour/experience that teaches the lesson to be changed.

I just ask that my subconscious to work with my "high self" to find at least 5 other behaviours/experiences that would be more beneficial to the soul AND also teach the SAME lesson taught by ______ .  Once these new beneficial behaviours are found, I ask my subconscious to replace the old behaviour/experience ______  with these new ways. Choosing 5 ways is giving the subconsious MANY more options than the one that I was experiencing.

I am just beginning to experiment with this and am getting positive response from my guides. I just get a sense that there is still more that needs to be added for the complete shift of experience, even though my guides say it is fine as it is and works!

I have been working many years on letting the past go and only getting ready for this next step. The past is begining to fade away and unlimited possibilities are moving into view. This way of believing and viewing so much to be possible is VERY new to me, only in the last few months. Many beneficial changes are occuring for me, by trying new things and taking percieved risks of being wrong, and also some not so comforting learning, too, when I am incorrect So that is why I am experimenting with this and will see where it leads. I trust in my guides very much and know they are there to help me and teach me, too. It is only when I feel my ego gets in the way that the not so comforting lessons come.  (resistance to accepting what is)

And of course, my experience will be different from anyone else that does not share the same beliefs, culture, childhood, etc.., as you said before 

Thank you John, very much for helping me by giving your own views about such things. I think you said it before, too. More learning takes place when we can view something from more than one side/angle.   :D

Love and Peace,
Erin
