I have come to a rather radical conclusion

 

LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE

A CONSTANT STRUGGLE

 

Now some people call that the great lie of the new age

and I call it a

great truth. Yes we all have struggles and challenges

in our lives yet

often we have concentrated on struggle to the

exclusion of all else. yes

we have karma but a lot of our karma involves self

punishment. The

releasing of the karma then only involves learning not

to beat ourselves

on the head for our " sins " A Buddha's words are "

suffer what there is

to suffer enjoy what there is to enjoy. " forgive

yourself and get on

with life. A major karmic lesson we are to learn now

is to free

ourselves from insisting on being in pain and struggle

and perceiving

ourselves as victims it is in a way as though many of

us have been in a

cult of self torture . I asked my self where I was

creating pain in my

life and if I could create joy instead and found that

I could create

immense joy I believe that you can too.

 

You've heard phrases like " No Pain No Gain " and

Nothing Come Easy " . I

am troubled greatly by these and similar phrases so

often said about

many things in and of life , It is said that we do not

value what comes

easily or without effort or cost, Why is that ? What

are we doing to

ourselves ? Could that be a seed thought for

suffering, for struggle

,for sorrow and lack? I was told as a child and

believed that you could

have nothing good without sacrifice or payment and

often heard it said

that without cost there was no value. Sacrifice and

doing without were

considered a great virtue , even to refusing Gifts of

needed things.

 

Now I have discovered that abundance is freely given

by the Earth the

universe and the All.

When we accept it.

I do find value facing and working through challenges

I just do not

think that the universal plan requires the amount of

pain and struggle

that so many of us think is an essential part of life

on Earth. In Fact

I think that a Large Part of the Karmic lesson that we

are here to learn

is to let go of self punishment , put downs and

Dramatized Martyrdom ,

Suffering is not a virtue endurance is not the sole

measure of worth .

Appreciation and joy in life are worth cultivating.

and like other

tender plants they need cultivation to grow

 

We are blessed and need only accept those blessings to

have and keep

them " When you walk the path of light it will rain

blessings all

beautiful and good things will come to you like red

and white flowers

falling gently around you , birds will dip themselves

in honeyed sauce

and fly roasted into your mouth sweet music will

surround you and you

will live in towers covered with the 12 sacred stones

and perfumed winds

will caress you. "

 

I now accept ,enjoy and appreciate what comes easily I

accept and enjoy

what comes from effort as well but will no longer

assume that struggle

of itself is the valuable thing.

 

affirmation

 

I let go of suffering and struggle and sweat .I

accept each and every

good thing as the gift of the universe with gratitude

and joy for gain

and growth and pleasure. I will learn the lessons that

come easily with

the same grace and skill than I learn the ones that

come hard and give

thanks each moment and share these blessings with all

..

 

 

The Ultimate flow of the universe is toward harmony

and balance I am

saying that I truly believe that the " battle " has been

won and we do not

need to keep fighting it. My concern is with the

perception of a need to

struggle and is not a rejection of the concepts of

exchange and balance.

The quote is from an ancient buddhist prophecy about

this time. How can

any of us know what the balance sheet of another looks

like?

When I first wrote this I actually got a couple of

very angry posts and

one Person even wrote a " rebuttal " which he posted on

his web site and

distributed in his advertising. So I'll add this

" disclaimer " I am not

going to force anyone to stop struggling and suffering

if they want to

I'm just saying that you Don't Have to.

Hi Peggy

 

Thank you for posting this, it would be nice if everyone would start living

by this....

 

I am intrigued though about how someone could be so upset by this that they

would go to such lengths!!! It's amazing ow some people will hang on to the

darkness so strongly.

 

Would it be ok for me to pass this on? as i think a few people I know would

appreciate it.

 

Love and light
