Mankind's Natural State of Being
Much has been said, written, and expounded upon the topic of mankind's suffering. I, for one, think that to say there is any redeeming aspect to our suffering is total bullshit.
We are not here to suffer. Mankind's natural state of being is NOT to suffer for the sake of spiritual growth. Rather, our natural state is one of love and truth. If this runs against the grain of your belief system (aka "BS"), have you ever taken a moment to ask the question: why would a benevolent creator wish harm and destruction upon its own creation?
I think I know why the common thread among so many religions is suffering and redemption. The reason is pure and simple: control.
Once you have ceded your mental and spiritual sovereignty to a belief system such as a religion, you have essentially taken a back seat in this ride called life. THEY are at the steering wheel, driving you wherever THEY see fit. That "wherever" takes on the appearance of:
"Hey, don't sweat it. You'll be rewarded for your traumatic experience in this physical lifetime in the 'afterlife.' Don't bother trying to change your condition. In fact, the worse things are for you here, the better!"
Bollocks. To even entertain this concept is a crime against nature. We are eternal beings, gifted with creativity and imagination, yet so many of us never grasp or come to the true realization of this crucial fact.
It is, however, no surprise that this is the case. Look at how the odds are stacked against you:
- Your memory is completely wiped before you incarnate into the physical, as a helpless infant.
- Society is programmed to stunt true spiritual growth and development, denying the child a fair shot at healthy and true spiritual attainment more or less from the get-go.
- THEY funnel everyone into false belief systems, which only serve to stunt, retard, or fully eviscerate our true spiritual development.
- For those who have happened to evade the religious grid (indigenous peoples, for example), THEY are busy eradicating the connection to true spirituality, even if that means genocide.
- Once you pass on from the physical plane, THEY further entrap you by way of the "false light" and the gatekeepers of the reincarnation cycle, leading you to believe that you must continue to incarnate in the physical in order to "suffer MORE" for the purpose of growth and development.
Once you see this racket for what it is, you will wonder how so many of us have been entrapped, and for so long. But it has not been easy to see. The belief-system aspect of the control grid has done an outstanding job of ensuring that we keep coming back for more punishment, and it works tremendously hard to keep it that way. Every culture has its own version of the story, and every version arrives at the same convenient conclusion: your pain is good for you, and someone else is in charge of the accounting.
Take my personal experiences and revelations regarding my past lives as an example. I have been incarnating in warrior-type roles for as far back as I have been able to recall through Past Life Regression. It is ONLY NOW that I have begun to realize that I have been used, again and again, to sustain the parasites who literally feed off the death and destruction that we, mankind, perpetuate on the physical plane. In the previous entry on my past lives, I related the specifics of this realization, and I am now equipping myself with the tools, tactics, and techniques I require to break the cycle.
None of this is cause for despair. Quite the opposite. If suffering were truly our nature, there would be nothing to be done. But if suffering is imposed, if it is a mechanism rather than a condition, then it can be identified, understood, and refused. That is a far more hopeful position than any religion has ever offered me.
For you must know, at a deep intuitive level, that you are not designed to be a suffering soul.
May you find and keep the truth, life, and light.
