What if Earth School isn’t random at all…

Cosmic Greetings from a Board Room

Barb M {Anonymous Program}

What if everything on Earth School is working exactly as it should be working and the people, and situations we labeled as “difficult” or “an obstacle” or “dysfunctional” is in fact designed construct meant to awaken us to our true natures—a divine crowbar, sent by the cosmos to knock down the doors of our ignorance, demolish our illusions, and give us an opportunity to move past our fears, find our innate courage propagate wisdom, and help us to remember the we are of God?

Long before we were born, our souls gathered in a giant cosmic conference center and decided what curriculum we each needed to sign up for in order to best learn the lessons we would seek in this lifetime. Some of us asked for tender assistance – for patient guides, devoted friends, loving parents, faithful partners, wise spiritual teachers. Some of us volunteered to provide that tender assistance.

But some of the really brave students – the ones who wanted to make the most of their experience in Earth School --- well, we asked; “who will be my abuser this time?” Or “Who will be my alcoholic family member?” “Who will be the lover that betrays me?” or “Who will be the child who breaks my heart?” or “Who will be the one who dies and leaves me all alone?’

Here comes the miracle

To each request, some benevolent soul on the other side of the boardroom raised their hand and said, “I’ll do that for you, my love. “I’ll do that.”

Our teachers arranged to meet us. They agreed to bring us gifts not only of compassion and kindness but also pain and trauma –by being the people we needed to crash into at some prearranged moment so we could be broken open enough to perhaps learn something essential from the encounter, graduate from that lesson, and evolve ever closer to the light.

Wouldn’t that be so generous for someone to do for you? To help you grow like that. And what if a moment of clarity came in the middle of your suffering and struggling –when the two of you recognized each other from the boardroom?

“Oh, Wow, I remember you!”

All you could do is weep and laugh in gratitude! Having served your purpose (having delivered or received the critical lesson) you both released each other from your respective jobs? Set each other free, wouldn’t that be magical?
