But what does that mean, when you are lost in the abyss of fear and
despair
and you don't know how to get out of it?
The first thing to realize is that you have created just the set of
circumstances
that you are presently in for a specific reason, and that is to get you to
your next place. Why would you do that? Because there is a very good
reason
that you need to be in that place.
If you put yourself into a life-threatening position of illness, or what
seems to be life-threatening, you are looking at circumstances that are
not in
alignment with God's will, although you are free to choose whatever path
you like.
God created perfect creatures--you! They do not see you are imperfect.
Circumstances
come into your life to prepare you for the next step in your experiences,
not
as punishment, but as a test to see if you are ready to go forward toward
your
next experience. Sometimes that illusion is so powerful you don't pass
your test. Just knowing it is a test can make it possible to pass your test.
Look at
it this way; why would anyone in their right mind choose to do something
to their body that
was so devastating if they were making a choice?
Illness has its advantages, too. It gives you a sense of knowing that
life can be controlled. If you don't feel well, you can take a pill to
take
away the pain. If you can't sleep, you can take a pill to help you sleep.
You can have the security of knowing people are sympathetic to you, and
you
have the attention of doctors who are there to help you. But know
this--you are
not a victim of illness because you chose to be there! It is not God's
will that you
are there suffering, but your own, and if you want to leave it behind,
it is possible.
But, are you a victim of the source of all those carcinogens or high
cholesterol-producing foods? What you believe is what is. Again, it is a
matter
of choice. Do you want to be ill, at the mercy of your environment?
This is going to bother some people when I say this, but you do not get my
sympathy for being ill. I have had problems, too, but who hasn't? The
Illusion is so
powerful! But if it is a matter of choice, why not choose to have the
"better" choice of feeling better?
Healing is a matter of removing layers, like an onionskin, step by step,
to the core of
the problems. You are not a victim of anything, but there by choice.
And if you would choose
this for yourself then you will get my sympathy, because it is very
difficult to face
who you are. I have done this many times, and each time it is a matter
of looking at
yourself without judgment--looking in the mirror and facing the issues
that haunt you and giving yourself a break. Forgive yourself for being
who you are and let
it go, as you would tell your best friend that you forgive him or her for being
who
he is.
Seth:
Now Suzeranda is awake and it is five-thirty in the morning. She had a
dream about a man in
a volcano and she wondered how she would get the man out without burning
up herself. The man was sitting on a blanket on the edge of hot lava
and
she was on the edge of the abyss. How do you help someone who is in an
abyss without
burning up yourself? The problem with this is not becoming entrapped
yourself but offering help. I am Seth, a spiritual teacher who has been working for millennia to do
just that.
You may have heard of Jane Roberts and the books we wrote together.
These books were written
for a specific group of people who had been studying spirituality for a
long time as a group, and
they were open to learning and growing spiritually. I have asked
Suzeranda to write these books
because it is time for you to begin to grow spiritually, and these
newsletters and the books are
there for you, too, not just those who have dedicated their lives to
spiritual progress.
But, you will have to help yourself out of the abyss because no one
is going to come in and
save you and risk the chance of being pulled into your own private hell.
I ask that you read
through these newsletters for the "rope that you need to pull yourself
out
of this hell." If you choose, you are welcome to stay there. Please
let your friends know
about this and make copies of these newsletters, especially if they are
experiencing some
kind of traumatic experiences in their lives right now. It's free,
what can it hurt you?
As Michael said above, everything is a matter of choice, and if you
seem to be in a situation
where there is no choice, then look again. It was a choice that got you
there in the first place. No one will come into the abyss to save you
because
everyone is already in their own private hell right now. The reason for
this is the Illusion is very powerful.
What do I mean by "the Illusion"? God created the third dimension to
be here, and it is a
frequency of God, a continuum of frequency that makes up all things.
When you "die" you leave behind your body, and the part of you
that contains all knowledge
goes on to a higher frequency. All the experiences that you have had in
this lifetime are part of your memory at that point. As you know, your memory is something that
you carry on with
you, but at times the memory of something can be just as devastating to
you as the real experience. So you are working through these memories and trying to heal them. Step
by step, you release these
memories and heal them, or else they keep you trapped in them and you go
through your own little hell.
But is a memory real? No. It is not something that can harm you in any
way. Let go of them as if they
were old clothes and free yourself from them. Take them off. Let me
give you an example.
Suzeranda was in high school and fell down a flight of stairs and hurt
her back. At times,
when she has been worried about things, she tenses up and her back hurts
again. She was very
worried about life as a teenager because things weren't easy for her at
that time, and now she
associates things not going well for her with back pain. Her injury
healed a long time ago, but she recreates the pain when she is worried.
Backs are delicate
things--memories never seem to go away when they are associated with a
physical injury. I would like you
to consider your aches and pains and illnesses for a minute.
The human body recreates itself every seven years. Just think of it;
anything that is older than seven years in your memory is just an
Illusion because it isn't there
anymore. Purely physically, it doesn't exist. So, even Suzeranda's back
problems have been brought
forward only in her mind. Why hold onto something like this, except for
it
to show you something? Time to let it go, isn't it? You aren't going to
get much sympathy from me either, but I will tell you that you don't have
to be in pain anymore. Let it go.
The pains that are there, too, less than seven years are already on
their way to being mended.
Don't hold on to them any more. Your body is capable of healing
anything, even those things that
don't appear to be healable, like radioactivity, poisons, allergies,
funguses, viruses and what you would consider to be life-threatening.
People agree to have something to be life threatening, and you must
all be
in agreement for something to be. When one person steps out of agreement
for something to be a certain way, then the
Illusion is over. Why agree to have AIDS be life-threatening? Why
should you continue to believe you must not
eat butter or it will cause heart problems?
All is well and in perfect order. Begin to look at what you believe
about life, and stop reinforcing the ideas that something
can harm you. God created a perfect place. It is your belief structure
that allows imperfection to exist, and by just changing these beliefs you
return to God's
perfection. Isn't that easy? When you are faced with anything that is
negative--ask yourself why you want that in your life anymore
and let it go. Be at peace.
