Lesson from the Spirit

"Have you ever seen how trees grow on a rock?"
"Yes."
"Amazing, isn't it? Because God cares for all equally. That's why palms do not grow in the north, and northern firs do not grow in the south. Everything has its allotted place, its role, an important role. Isn't that care?

But you so often demand more, forgetting with what care you were created, what love fills and warms you, even when you think you are abandoned, deceived, betrayed and rejected by someone, even when you believe you were betrayed, trampled, humiliated, lied to, robbed, slandered.
You can still feel that love. You only need to reach out, only need to ask for it.
Your path may be hard and thorny, but did you not ask for blessings for your soul, for taming, for calm, for rest, for peace? But all of that is a spiritual path. And the spiritual path lies through acceptance.
Everyone's path is different, I do not argue; for some it seems easy, for others more difficult. But the goal is the same for all. And that goal is the force of attraction that moves worlds.

Some need a harsh climate to survive, to show themselves, to go their way, to fulfill their mission, like those northern firs that give their seed and new shoots sprout. But did God care for them differently? There are no palms in the north, for there, in those conditions, a palm would not sprout, but firs are not given to live in the south.
"What are you talking about?"
"When you complain about your fate, remember this parable and its deep meaning. You are given exactly what on your path will help your soul awaken and fulfill its mission. If you think something is wrong, do not despair, do not complain, do not grumble, and do not be angry at the One who created you, do not be angry at yourself, at others, at the world around—stop.
This is not bad; it is a reason to understand what is wrong. To stop does not mean to turn off the path; to stop means to listen to yourself, to appeal to the inner voice that whispers the answer.
Conversation with oneself is always so difficult, but it is necessary. It is an important part of your becoming on the path you have chosen, a kind of stage of your transformation and establishment on the path of accepting your true spiritual power.
So be it.

Everything is a mission. And no one knows their mission until they ask themselves."

"God cares for all, but each of you carries your own mission."
"And what about floods?"
"Do you want to talk about the flood? Very well. Who is Noah to you?"
"A man who spoke with God. A great spiritual man."
"God chose him because he wanted to be chosen by God. And he did everything so that God would hear him. And this is about your mission. About that awareness I spoke of. To stop and realize when something is going wrong, when an inner protest flares up within you. To ask, to understand, to unravel. But you do not ask questions. 'Why?' Many ask, 'Why me?'
"That is not a question. That is why you will not hear an answer."
"Why? What's wrong with it, with that question?"
"That question sounds like an oath given long ago.
When you come to God, come with gratitude, come to Him with acceptance, not denial, with love, not embitterment. That is your path—spiritual maturity, spiritual maturity.

When you go that way, through love and acceptance, you have no such questions.
Because you have learned to see light where others see only darkness. You have learned to smile at one who sits in gloom. You have wanted to reach out to those who turn away from you. For in your spiritual maturity you see the true significance of every Soul in the single system of creation."
