Why We as Spirit Take on Human Bodies
I want to share what I have learned through meditation and giving intuitive readings as to one of the big reasons why we as spirits choose to take human bodies. We take human bodies to learn and embody unconditional love. My guides have shown me a huge ball of bright light/energy that seems to me to be the “whole” or God consciousness. They say we all start within this light/energy. When we are in the light we are completely enveloped and connected with unconditional love. We know exactly how it feels. It is complete and perfect. We have no expectations, no needs or wants. We feel perfectly content and wonderful. This is the same Godness or love that is available to all forms of life if we choose to use it. When we as an individual spirit decide we want to have our own experiences of unconditional love, with the help of our spiritual support group, we set up human lives to experience that love. Our little ball of light separates form the large whole and sets out on its own journey of finding unconditional love. We are never completely disconnected. We can always draw from the whole. Unconditional love has many pieces or layers to it. To love unconditionally you have to overcome many obstacles. Here are some of the things I am aware that you have to conquer to get to unconditional love:
- You must learn not to judge others
- You must learn to forgive
- You must learn to trust
- You must learn faith
- You must learn joy and laughter
- You must learn community
- You must learn to be egoless
Many of the things you must learn can be very difficult. Take forgiveness, the lessons around forgiveness can seem cruel. It is easy to forgive someone for stepping on you toes, or being late to a lunch. But, how hard is it to forgive someone who hurts you deeply and repeatedly, especially when you have no control over their actions (A good example is an abused child)? How hard is it to forgive when you can’t even begin to imagine treating someone like that person treats or treated you? In other words, you have to have some really awful stuff happen to you to be forced into a very deep place of forgiving. Forgiving because you know you need to, not because you want to.
With each lesson you conquer, your ball of light grows brighter. When, after many lives in most cases, you reach unconditional love, your now huge fully developed ball of unconditional love/light returns to the whole. The whole becomes larger and more capable of supporting all life forms on their own path of unconditional love.
