“Suffering of any kind means one thing: We are out of tune with cosmic harmony. As we learn to harmonize, suffering ceases.
A small child who insists upon running into the street will be spanked. He is incapable of understanding any other language. His parents spank not to deliberately hurt him, but because they love him. As the maturing child understands, the need for painful punishment ceases.
That parallels the human situation. Suffering tries to tell us of the danger of running into the streets of unreality. But stubborn little man, who always thinks he knows best, refuses the lesson and gets hurt, day after day, year after year. By studying psychic spankings, he could grow to where they are unnecessary.” ~ Vernon Howard from The Power of Your Supermind
That’s brilliant.
Have you been stepping into the street without looking (both ways!!!) and getting a little (or a big?) psychic spanking? :)
