Playing truant in the school of life delays your personal evolution

All creatures, including human beings, are here to grow, evolve and expand towards a higher consciousness. That's one of the main reasons for which we are here. But this implies diverse types of tests and experiences  along the path, including small incidents  as well as big challenges often erroneously perceived as problems, obstacles, difficulties, blocks, injustices and so on.

In fact, what you perceive as such are gifts and blessings from the Almighty, and should not be dreaded, resisted and avoided as most people do. Understand that these are necessary steps we all must go through, if we are willing to grow in knowledge, strength, wisdom, understanding, self mastery or even faith; and so, get ready for the next level of higher consciousness.

The majority of people would like life to be as a long calm and quiet river without any disturbance, so that they may enjoy it more fully. They believe that the unique purpose of life is to make human beings happy during their entire journey on earth, by insuring that every possible unwanted condition is put out of equation.

Only a few dare to challenge themselves by facing the difficult conditions of life with the conscious intention to exceed their current limits, and grow, up to a superior level of their consciousness. Maybe intuitively they know that there is not another way towards spiritual growth and evolution.

However, happiness is not the main purpose of human existence. Of course, enjoying from time to time happy events that delight your soul for a moment can be a good thing. But, such circumstances are always ephemeral by nature, like anything else in this dimension of life. So, they come and go, but never last forever.

The main purpose of life however, as stated at the beginning, is to make you grow, evolve, and expand unlimitedly, through all the exams presented to you along the path, in the form of challenges of all kinds. Happiness may delight you; that's true. But, by itself alone, you cannot achieve the spiritual growth and evolution you seek. 

And, if you'd like to have an idea of what your current level of self mastery and spiritual growth is, just observe how you react to the present conditions and circumstances of your life. The feedback you get from yourself like that is an accurate indicator of your current state of mind, as well as your spiritual level. This test will always reveal you the truth about yourself.

As such, life can be compared to a school in which we learn new lessons, that prepare us everyday for the next class, the next year. But if, all year long, we keep playing truant, miss and avoid important courses, we will not catch the essential lessons we are supposed to learn through these courses and pass the final exam that opens for us the door to the next class.

However, it is what we do all the time, when we resist the challenges of life which, like school, gives us new and important lessons every single day, through people, events and circumstances. But, these lessons are so well wrapped and deeply hidden in them that, most of the time, we focus only on forms.

We keep complaining about appearances, or  what is, erroneously perceived as threatening, while in fact these are bearers of lessons for us to grasp. Therefore people, events and circumstances come to you as messengers or teachers, not as ennemies whose mission is to hurt and push you down.

So, instead of joyfully and gratefully welcoming situations without any preconceived idea, and open mindedly be willing to learn from them in order to achieve a greater understanding that leads to a higher knowledge, we resist. Because we believe that life is unfair and against us.

Therefore, we do whatever we can to avoid or escape from people or situations we resent and dread.  But the fact is, as long as we behave like that, situations we resist cannot change; just as students who play truant cannot pass exams and enter the next class. That is, until they change their mind and decide to attend the courses and learn the lessons of the current class, they cannot move to the next.

In fact, situations are not meant to change externally. Change, instead, must come from you, in terms of  understanding and inner growth, before new challenges can be presented to you. That means, you have to become strong, spiritually speaking, to the extend that you no longer perceive conditions as separate, but as integrate parts of who you are now.

Today, take the decision to change your mind about people, situations, events and circumstances of your life.Remember, what is is, but the choice is yours; the choice to react  according to who you are. Decide you will no longer perceive them as separate entities, obstacles, blocks, or threats. But as blessings and opportunities to learn and evolve. And, with more and more understanding, by choosing love you would move towards higher levels of consciousness.

Once you've learned the lessons from a specific level of consciousness, situations will change by themselves and open the door for new ones in the same class or the next. It is not another way around. There is no escape, and the only result you get when playing truant, resisting and refusing to learn your lessons, is but a useless delay in your personal growth and evolution.

This, by the way, is not wise. Because when you do, you'll keep living the same situations over and over again, until you learn the lessons deeply hidden in them. These lessons, however, are delivered for your highest good. For in its infinite wisdom, life knows you must be well prepared and become strong, before you move foreward to the next level.

God knows all your impatience, frustration and anger. But, He's got also the whole picture; meaning,  the challenges waiting for you ahead, in your next classes. And because He loves you more than anything, He prepares you to be ready first, before you face those next challenges.

But, it is important to remember that you are not alone on the path of your journey to higher consciousness.God, through the Holy Spirit is forever present in you, providing you with continuous support and assistance.

That is the job of the Holy Spirit in you; to guide you and help you to catch the hidden lessons of your situations, so that you can move forward. But you also have an important responsibility in this process. It is to ask.

To do so, you must know what to ask,  how to ask, when to ask, and to whom. Asking is not as easy as  people think. If you are not clear at this point, you shouldn't even try to ask for anything. Because risks are that you get opposite results from your "bad" requests.

According to the bible, there is a major condition to perform before formulating any demand. In Matthew 21:22, this condition  is as follows:

"You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it."

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

You've got it! This major condition is belief, or faith that you have already received whatever you ask in prayer. But, what is it that you really ask for? What do you really need on your path to a higher conscousness?

In truth, the first thing you should ask from the Almighty is faith. For when you have faith,  you get clear about any situation; you get light. It is what you really need, in order to achieve the state of clarity necessary to learn your lessons.

Now that you know what to ask, when to ask then? You ask only when you are in a state of absolute relaxation, stillness, peace of body and mind. Call it the vortex or whatever. Anything you do out of this state, with a  trouble mind, leads directly to failure and disappointment.

But, how do you ask more effectively? You do it by genuinly giving thanks and gratitude that it is so, and living according this truth. You give thanks to whom? Of course to God, the Almighty, All That Is, through the Holy Spirit which is in you.

Only the Holy Spirit's voice can be understood by God, the Father. The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the Creator and you. You are not pure enough to get in touch with the Almighty, and all your efforts in trying to address directly your pryers and your gratitude to Him, will be vain.

There is still a lot to say about this communication between you and God. This, however, is the big picture.

You have specific lessons to learn in this lifetime

Human beings are not the same, and will never be. But, there is something in common about all of us. It is that we are here to grow, evolve and expand; and no one can escape from this objective. When I talk about expension, I do not mean  accumulation of stuff, or money. It's about expension of our consciousness, and awakening to our true being.

If you look closely at yourself, you will understand what I am talking about. You will come to notice aspects of yourself that need to be improved, which you know more than anyone else. If you pay attention to other people also, chances are that you would be able to perceive the the gap in them, related to the qualities they have to cultivate and improve in their life.

Among the qualities imaginable in our true nature, let's list just a few: eternity, patience, stillness, beauty, love, unlimitedness, infinity, perfection, joy, faith, certainty, clarity,  etc. Now, what do you think may be your point of improvement in this lifetime?

For many people, some of the lessons they have to learn may be patience or faith. And, in this regard,  two of the best teachers available to us are the seed and the tree. Go and study them, speak to them, and they will reveal their secrets to you.

All around you, teachers for other aspects of your life are waiting for you to be ready, in order to teach you what it is for you to learn.

It will be done onto you according to your faith

It will be done onto you according to your faith. This eternal truth in the holy scriptures has been repeated over and over since centuries and is still accurate today.Simply put, the meaning you give to anything in your life will be your reality. 

It is for this same reason Christ advised to not judge anything. "Judge not", he said, for whatever judgement you will give to any event or circumstance will turn out to be your personal reality. Because your judgement then becomes a decision that produces effects. We had already discussed this issue in the past. But I think it is worth coming back on this important question which is in direct relationship with the way we create our life.

The point where I'd like to get is the following. As you are going into a certain experience in your life, particularly the one you judge as "bad", pay attention to what you think and how you feel presently about it. Because, as stated earlier, your outcomes  will be in direct proportion with what you believe, and the way you think and feel.

There is one thing to keep in mind, always. It is that God loves you and everything you experience is for your highest good. From this postulate, only give positive meanings to everything and see whatever you experience as a blessing, because it is, indeed.

The advantage of this technique is that not only will you neither no longer feel bad and negative about yourself, nor see yourself as a victim, powerless, not enough, limited, guilty, separated from God and so on, but chances are that what was previously perceived as "bad" experiences will turn out to be very positive ones as well as blessings in your life. 

Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest american thinkers put it well in one of his personal mastery traits with this advice: "notice the blessing in everything, big and small, dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from".

Once again, the meaning you give to whatever you experience is up to you, and will become your personal reality, not only inwardly, but externally also. In this lifetime, everyone of us has his particular lessons to learn, in particular circumstances. That explains why our birth conditions are not the same.We were not born in  same countries, in same families, or with the same color. 

There had never been a competition of any kind, or a contest from which winners got the reward to be born in specific countries and in specific conditions. Therefore, demonstrating pride for being a citizen of  one specific country, for ones appartenence in such or whatever, are pure ignorance. Even worse, this mental attitude would take you far away from your purpuse, which is to learn during this life time, and delay your personal evolution.

Being "rich" or "famous" in this world is not a gratification or a reward you receive in recognition of a personal performance or achievement  in some discipline. Just as being "poor" or suffering from a grave "disease" is not a sort of punishment due to some bad deeds in the past. Those are merely conditions we all go through in one moment or another in the cycle of  life, to enable us to learn what is to be learn in our process of evolution.

Those who are rich and famous today had already lived in different conditions and will again go through many others in the cycle of their existence. The same thing is true for those who are considered as poor today. It is sometimes amazing to see people telling others proudly how they got where they are, in terms of acquisitions, fame, or wealth as if at the level of ego, they were totally in charge of their apparent success. 

The truth is, those people don't even have a clue themselves how they got where they currently are. They have only an idea of what can be perceived on the surface of the conscious mind which, as known today, represents a very tiny and insignificant part of human being consciousness, unlimited and including the subconscious and the superconscious.

Today, everybody wants to be rich and famous and no one wants to be poor, because material "poverty" is seen as something "bad". But, who really knows the purpose of this apparent misery? Who reaches a clear understanding of the deep meaning and the profound wisdom hidden behind these particular conditions against which the entire planet is fighting?

If being poor was such a hideous condition, why did Buddha left the comfort of his fathers' palace, for this condition in which he finally found enlightenment? Why did Jesus refuse the riches of the world  proposed  by the devil or ego to him?  

Can you imagine a world in which everybody is rich and famous? In such a world, who will be doing what for whom? In other words, who then will be the master and who will be the servant? Who will be applauding the other? Who will be the teacher and who will be the student? And if everybody gets rich, what value will have money again?

You should thing about it. The relative value money has today is simply due to the fact that almost 4/5 of the population is "poor". Now, invert the tendency, and the richest men of the world will become anonymous, maybe like you in this moment.

Somenone  is called "rich", only because another is called "poor". There is neither superiority nor inferiority in that, because both are just two sides of the same coin; learning different lessons from different perspectives. It is just like that.  

You see, nothing is really as you imagine, or as you perceive it. You are absolutely a perfect son of God, living now certain conditions in this life time. I can assure you, there is nothing "good" nor "bad" in those conditions; just lessons to learn from them. 

However, the best way to live these conditions, particularly the "bad" ones that almost everybody wants to avoid, is through understanding, based on the knowledge that underneath each  circumstance lies a lesson, and a blessing, whose sole purpose, when discovered, is to help you evolve a step further, on your path to your spiritual realization.

You are not stuck, but just learning...

Life is a big school, in which all of us learn and evolve; without exception. But, until you learn the lessons of a specific class, you would not be able to move to the next. Sometimes, you would learn faster in one class than in another, and move rapidely to the next. Other times, you would stay in the same, for so long that you would feel stuck, so that time would seem interminable to you.

All this would depend on the lessons to learn, as well as on your willingness and readiness to learn and understand them. According to me, the more you would spend time in a specific class, the more valuable your lessons and your improvement would be.

Whatever the situation you are in, remember that you are learning and then, be willing to take what is there for you. There is always something to grasp; always. And very often, you cannot see it because you spend most of your time resisting your current circumstances. Instead of wondering why this happens to you, your question instead should be, what is there for you?

Doing so, relax yourself and and be still. Then, wait for the answer which, soon or later, will be revealed to you. This answer is always there, waiting four your willingness to find it. But, only your resistance prevents you from finding it.

It is only when you have learned the lessons put there for you that you would be able to move to the next class; but never before, and no matter how long it would take and how hard you would try.

That's why it's an error to believe you are blocked or stuck in any situation. This would create only more resistance and more frustration in you. Instead of that, say to yourself that you are learning a very important and valuable lesson for your evolution then, be truly willing to know and learn it. With this state of mind, you would achieve more release and, in time, chances are that what it is there for you as lessons would be revealed to you, and you would understand.

A fruit cannot fall from the branche by itself if it is not yet quite matured; remember that. Therefore, be patient and let time be your allie. One day, you would see clearly and be ready for the next lessons.

Also, in life, people think that because they live together in the place, they are the same, learning the same lessons. This is not true. Everyone of us is learning his own lessons in his own class for his own awareness and evolution. We have the same spirit or soul, but not the same awareness while still living in this world. That is why it is useless to try to live someone else's experiences, "good" or "bad".

Again, although being of the same Source, we are not the same in this world. That's why there has been a very little change among human beings for milleniums on this earth, dispsite all the spiritual knowledge they have been given by many masters.

People can read spiritual or self help books, listen to sermons in churches and synagogues as they like, but because their awareness is not in alignment with the too high level of knowledge given to them, they would probably fail to apply it and would just remain the same.

Of course, for some of them, the things they hear or read would sound very good and touch their soul. They would really love them and feel very anthousiastic about them; but this anthousiasm would not last. Because some time later, all this would vanish without benefiting them, for they were not ready yet for the knowledge presented to them.

You can verify it in our daily life. For example, take courses from university and teach them to sudents from primary school. Really, do you think they would get anything from them? I don't think so. Eventually, they would grasp a few words here and there, but it would be very difficult for them to get their full meaning.

The same thing could even apply to adults for disciplines completelly unknown to them, at the point that even when the message would be provided in their habitual language, they would also experience lots of difficulties to follow and get all the details of the message delivered to them.

In conclusion, resistance is useless in this world of learning we are in. Learning could be delayed, however escape from it is not possible. No jump or quantum leap are authorized by the laws that govern this universe.

The only solution is to face your life as it is, courageously, without resistance. Then, patiently and consistently, willing to learn all the lessons you have to learn, through people, events and circumstances, in order to achieve there, the awareness that will lead you to the next level of your learning.
