It would appear that the saying “the Eyes are the Windows to the Soul” has more truth to it than apparent on the surface. What a Revelation we can each experience, when we Realise that our “offendor” is actually our “Soul Friend” in disguise who in the “Place of Learning” made an agreement with our Soul that would be mutually beneficial for their Soul and for our Soul, in agreeing to both have the courage to “Experience” certain Life Circumstances, which although at times, Challenging and Difficult, would Ultimately help each Soul to Learn the Remaining Life Lessons that each Soul needed to Learn through the School of Life. Each soul has its own different lessons that it needs to experience and learn. Through the same set of Life Circumstances, in one Lifetime, different Souls that are connected to each other in that Lifetime can each learn their different lessons for their Individual Soul Development.
When we Realise the “Bigger Picture” and appreciate the Universal Intelligence in Orchestrating and Supporting us in our Spiritual Goal and Mission then we can Truly Forgive our “Offendors” and begin to Understand their allegiance and agreement to help our Soul Development, in a particular lifetime. Then, perhaps beneath their “outer clothing”, character and circumstances, we can then begin to see them as our “Soul Friend” and subsequently, with this awakening, with this Understanding and Knowledge; we can truly Forgive each other and perhaps even be grateful to each other for being the “Chosen Ones” to help us in our Individual Soul Development and Spiritual Growth. Then we can begin to Marvel at the Pure Brilliant Genius of this Infinitely Intelligent Divine Cosmic Universe.
Returning to the Author, M. Scott Peck and his emphasis about the absolute necessity for Forgiveness, if Spiritual Development is to progress; he stated categorically that Forgiveness is often a painful and difficult process. However, despite the pain, challenges and difficulties that we often experience throughout Life, “there is the Light at the end of the tunnel”. Similarly, Florence Scovel Shinn, in her book “the Game of Life and how to Play it” referred to our pain as the “Darkness before Dawn”. She said that “before the Dawn appears, before the Light of the Dawn there is Darkness”.
In his first book, “The Road Less Travelled” the Author, M. Scott Peck (Phd) opened with the words: “Life is Difficult”. In his long awaited sequel, “Further Along the Road Less Travelled” he opened with the following sentence:
“You may remember that “The Road Less Travelled” opened with the words “Life is Difficult”. And to that great truth, I will now add another translation: “Life is Complex”.”
He said that each one of us must make our own path through Life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The Right Road for one, is the wrong Road for another. Nowhere will you find it said “Go this way” or “Make a left turn here”. The Journey of Life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a Rocky Path through the Wilderness. The Road is not Linear - you do not take one step after another in a straight forward progression......there is nothing simple or straightforward about it. However, the good news is we do not have to make the Journey alone.
We can ask for help of the force in our Lives that we Recognise to be Greater than we are. A force that we all see differently, but of whose presence, most of us are aware. And as we make our way, we can help each other. We can begin to think Multidimensionally and we can appreciate the Mystery of Life.
