One of the more contentious and upsetting aspects of these teachings for many people is the tenet that everything happens for a reason. If you witness or have personal, intimate knowledge of great tragedy and horrific, grotesque injustice in your life it is hard to even imagine that it happens in the course of what is supposed to happen. Are we not the center of everything as humans? Yes and no. Our personalities are the center of our experiences and our choices but not the center of the soul thrust of universal law and evolution that is constantly arranging and rearranging the energetic holistic realities of life. Does a baby blown up by a bomb in Gaza have a choice? Only on the soul level to influence the witnesses and the survivors who must process the experience.

This aspect of life and death is briefly addressed here in this episode. Anyone who has struggled in the depths of despair will wrestle with their story around those experiences up against the statement that, "it happened for a reason" or the knowledge that we were in any way complicit in its existence. This outrage and upset over this suggestion is how it should be. Inherent in these experiences are the teachings that reveal our position within a greater story that is always unfolding. We must fully feel and choose to transform the trauma. This means there is no unconscious storage of suffering in a person to protect themselves from a perceived reoccurrence or repeat of the danger because our personal stories are not the full story. Likewise there is no emotional bypassing the depth of the despair experienced by pretending that it was fate. These difficult experiences are opportunities to participate in the positive influence of the human race by healing ourselves. The courage and the fortitude to face a trauma takes tremendous faith and compassion. Getting to the reason that such things happen takes pure mettle and that is forged in the faith and compassion that a person empowers themselves with by facing the realities of their experiences.

Some have stepped beyond the story line and had what they refer to as near death experiences. It is a bit of a misnomer because there is no NEAR death anymore than there is NEAR life. People who have an experience that takes them beyond space and time as it is recognized in general by humanity are compelled to share what they felt. Many times this is frustrating because there are no relatable expressions of such an experience - except maybe through art and that can fall short. Still it happens enough that we might want to consider there is more going on around us and within us that we are able to follow with our logical mind.
