I'm glad you appreciate my words StarHawk - I'm glad they offer some comfort.

I know that lots of people are currently suffering needlessly because of the view that we simply have to 'drop the hot coals' in order to ascend. People then wonder why pain and suffering reoccur - 'what's wrong with me?'

There's nothing wrong!

In fact, the pain, and confrontation of it, is the true path to freedom. When we realise this, in itself, it actually eliminates much of the suffering. Because we realise its okay to feel the way we do. You're not 'abnormal', you're not doing anything wrong.

It's the same with doubt. There's nothing wrong with doubting either. Doubt is not some on/off thing. If you have it, it's not that you're failing. Doubt into trust is a sliding scale: the more you push the boundary of doubt, by fully experiencing it, the more your trust will build. It's when you deny it, that it actually persists.

We need this cathartic process, now more than ever. That way, people will truly evolve, rather than dwelling in some illusionary bubble.

Wishing you well

Open *OK*
