Note: In this post, if the word “God” doesn’t resonate with you. You can replace it with the words Being, Self, Universe, Spirit, or Kingdom of Heaven.

Why does life bring pain, and how can you break free from karma and suffering?

Suffering will leave you once it has finished teaching you. Suffering will not disappear until it has taught you what you must learn. The situations and people that trigger you are the messengers of unconscious parts within you. We encounter them repeatedly because the universe wants us to become conscious of our unhealed parts so we can heal them in light of our consciousness. They are not there to comfort you. They are there to make you destroy all that is limited in you.

In a way, these trials and tribulations make you realize your true nature, which is pure awareness that is limitless and expansive.

How is the World Helping And Teaching You?

Suffering brings Awakening.

Sometimes, the world will teach you:

  • To love by giving you hatred,

  • To be kind by being cruel and

  • To be conscious by manifesting unconsciousness.

Be aware when you’re going through pain and suffering. Surrender to the wisdom the universe is trying to teach you.

This is the miracle of Surrender: In every person or situation that appears “evil” or “painful” lies a seed of greater good for you. This powerful blessing reveals itself when you surrender to inner Being and bring inner acceptance to what IS.

That’s why Jesus said: “Resist not evil.”

“Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.” – Eckhart Tolle
