Two weeks ago I received a letter from a
good friend asking Joseph and me if we’d do a newsletter on a
specific topic. The topic had to do with a potentially
life-threatening personal challenge she’s facing.
Normally I advise people making such requests to get a private
reading with us. But since this particular subject is of broad
general interest, we agreed.
John Cali
Here’s her letter, slightly edited.
"Joseph is fond of saying ‘All is as it should be.’ May
I request a future newsletter topic please? I have read similar
expressions from Chief Joseph before but I would still request any
additional clarity that can be provided.
"Everything is as it should be? Yes, in terms of Law of
Attraction, all is as it should be. But that is a result of
deliberate or unconscious vibration/creation and that inviolate law.
"Yes I do feel some self-blame for my current challenge -- I
know this material and yet I still didn’t recognize the path I was
creating until I was living it (post-manifestation awareness I think
Abraham has called it) -- too little too late.
"So as I accept responsibility and in trying to mitigate the
self-blame and guilt, I am left to conclude and wonder how it’s
always for our highest and best good. How?
"This experience wasn't ‘forced’ on me. I find it hard
to believe it was plotted and set into place by non-physical. I just
don’t believe it works that way. Nor do I believe that is what you
are saying.
"So I have painted myself into a corner. How are these
unwanted experiences always for our highest and best good?
Joy is the true purpose of life. I have read Joseph saying that and
it pleases me to believe it, instead of developing ‘strength of
character.’ No pain, no gain; what doesn't kill you makes you
stronger, etc. etc. You get my point.
"Be it lost finances or health challenges, it’s comforting
to think there may be a ‘higher purpose’ to such challenges. But
for now, I'm not clear on how that can be true. Any insight/clarity
would be greatly appreciated."
Here’s Chief Joseph.
Chief Joseph
Our friend agrees with us that all is as it should be. However,
she attaches a caveat to that:
"Yes," she wrote, "in terms of Law of Attraction,
all is as it should be. But that is a result of deliberate or
unconscious vibration/creation and that inviolate law."
You all know Law of Attraction works perfectly. As our friend
wrote in her letter, it’s "inviolate." But Law of
Attraction is not a separate entity. It is part of the fabric of
your being, your higher self. It’s an integral part of who you
are, of who God is, of all that is.
Law of Attraction always works perfectly. It cannot not
work. Look at it as a tool you can use for good or ill. In other
words, Law of Attraction responds always and unerringly to your
dominant vibration.
Our friend wonders how her challenge (or any unwanted experience)
is for her highest and best good. She knows it wasn’t forced upon
her, nor were the "powers that be" plotting against her.
Your higher selves rejoice in all your experiences,
whether the human you wants them or not. Your higher selves would
rather that you all get out there, immerse yourselves in physical
life completely, than to become a hermit, secluded and safe from the
world.
All experiences are for your highest and best good if only
because the negative experiences help you to know there is a better
way available to you -- a less painful way to live your lives. As
our friend Seth said, "Suffering is not good for the soul
unless it teaches you how to not suffer. That is its purpose."
Also, we must point out a fact many humans are not aware of:
Your higher selves can take any unwanted, negative experience and
transform it into a "wanted experience," if you will.
That transformation may or may not result in something you
expected. But it will always be for your highest and best
good. And it will always bring you much joy and growth.
As our friend wrote, joy is the true purpose of your lives. If
you can feel joy -- at least a glimmer of it -- even in your
negative experiences, you will then set up a more positive
vibration, a vibration to create the shift from the unwanted to the
wanted.
So much of all we’ve said here today, friends, depends on your
level of trust. We realize trust is in itself another challenge in
your modern world where fear runs rampant.
To someone immersed in fear, our words can sound hollow and
meaningless. The only answer we have for that person is to go
within, to that quiet peaceful place in your heart where you are
again intimately aligned with your higher self.
One of the best ways to do that, especially when you’re
paralyzed with fear, is to simply breathe. Conscious, deliberate
breathing is a powerful antidote to fear. And a powerful way to get
back in touch with your higher selves.
Your higher selves live in a state of perfect joy. So too will
you when you take the time to remember you are your higher
selves. There is no separation. You are God. There is no separation.
God does not know fear. God knows only love.
God knows all is well.
