Message Subject When life imposes difficult conditions on you, do your best to endure them until the bitter end
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward

"When you meet with pleasant conditions in life, savour them, but do not linger. And when life imposes difficult conditions on you, do your best to endure them until the bitter end. You will say: ‘But why should we cultivate difficult conditions?’ It is not a question of cultivating them, but of simply facing them so that you learn to become an adult.

Children only like what is pleasant and sugary… like the little girl who said in her prayers: ‘Lord, let daddy, mummy and my little brother be healthy… and put vitamins in sweets and not in spinach.’ That’s children for you! Unfortunately vitamins will never be found in sweets, just as spiritual vitamins will never be found in comfort and pleasure, but instead in work and difficulties. Only a true adult is capable of finding the richness and depth concealed in every test, in every bitter experience. On the other hand, prolonged joy and pleasure serve only to chloroform people, keeping them weak and far from the truth."

Yeah, like our true Creator want's to see his creations suffer in torment till the bitter end. (end sarcasm). Where do you people come from?

Insane, brainwashed by TPTB. Taught to accept anything they want to do to you. Fight back, don't just accept "their" abominations.

This attitude will help you to overcome "TPTB" & Co. ...

"Good always prevails over evil, just as life always prevails over death. Death only appears to exist. Look around you: everywhere you see life, and death is nowhere. It is only a change of scenery…or of costume! You say: ‘But if you murder someone, the evil you commit is permanent.’ Not so. In the first place, only the physical body has been affected. The spirit, which is immortal, continues to live, and sooner or later the person will return to earth in a new body. As for the murderer, even if he escapes human justice, he will not escape divine justice. One way or another he will have to make amends for his crime.

Evil, like death, may appear victorious at first, but this victory does not last. Whereas the good, although under siege in the beginning, will, like life, triumph in the end."

"Good and evil can be compared to two forces that are harnessed together on a job so as to make the wheel of life turn. If only good existed, the wheel would not turn. Yes, good cannot do the work if evil does not give it a hand. You might say that evil is the opposite force... Yes, it must be contrary! Consider this simple gesture: if you want to cork or uncork a bottle, you must use both hands working in opposite directions; one pushes in one direction, the other pulls away from it. And this is how the two together succeed in pushing in or removing the cork. Instead of complaining about the presence of evil, therefore, you must stop and meditate on this work of the opposite forces that takes place every day before your very eyes."

"It is a mistake to consider good and evil as two independent forces forever in conflict. The reality is that good and evil are two currents connected to a higher authority – God. The problem of good and evil will never be solved on the physical plane, for what brings these contrary forces together originates from above. At our own level, all we see is the clash between them. Our work, therefore, is to reach this higher authority, which knows how to make use of good and evil for a purpose even they have not been given to know.

Yes, good does not know everything, and neither does evil, of course. The One who does know everything is above good and evil. That One is the Lord. So, speak to him, and say, ‘Lord, you who have created so many things of beauty, vastness and profundity, you see me lost in their midst… With my limited intelligence, I am not able to see clearly. Send me your angels to tell me how to understand and how to act.’"

"We tend to equate good with God himself. But no! Good, like evil, is only a servant of God. God is much more than good. So you must stop asking yourself why He tolerates the existence of evil. Tell yourself quite clearly that He allows everything, and He does so because He makes use of everything. And you too should know how to use both good and evil in the work you undertake, exactly like the chemist who rejects nothing because he knows how to use all the substances in his laboratory, even poisons. Everything is necessary in a laboratory. We must thus use the chemist as our model: since in our inner laboratory we possess the pure and the impure, the luminous and the obscure, that which draws us upward and that which pulls us down, we must learn to use everything in order to realize God's plans. Thank heaven for having created you as you are, and go to work."

"Those who have chosen darkness always fear light. That is why the élite, such as great spiritual masters, initiates - who work for the evolution of humanity - are always persecuted. Since the two principles of good and evil constantly battle in the world, one who works for the light inevitably provokes forces of darkness. By their word, even by their sole presence, initiates inevitably touch the personal, self-centered and dark interests of people who then counter-attack with all the means at their disposal.

When a great spiritual master comes down to earth to help human beings, he knows beforehand he will be exposed to all kinds of hostile demonstrations from humans - hatred, slander and persecutions - which are intended to prevent the work that it is the master's mission to accomplish. But he never lets himself be discouraged. He continues to work and to shed his love on human beings, even if they are wicked, unconscious, and ungrateful."

"Many people seek the good, just as others seek the truth… and never find it. They are looking for a servant who will facilitate their lives, whereas truth is a demanding mistress, a princess, and the good is a demanding master as well. Well then, if you say you are looking for good but find evil instead, you have only yourself to blame: it proves that you lack a high ideal. When the choices you make lead to disappointment, conflict and failure, ask yourself why you have had so little intuition. Each of you carries a kind of magnet within yourself which is the synthesis of your thoughts, feelings and desires, and this magnet attracts people and situations which correspond to all the elements of your psychic life. "

"Many people spend their time emitting feelings and thoughts of anger, hatred and revenge, and they do not even think that these thoughts might cause damage in the world! It is not even as though it would benefit their affairs! Exactly the opposite, in fact: they poison themselves. So what should they do? They should forget all their sorrows, torments and irritations, and just remember that they are in the light, and propagate that light.

All human beings have the same powers to create with their mind; the difference is that some use these powers for evil, others for good. Yes, do not think some are gifted or privileged whereas others are deprived: the same seeds, the same materials were deposited in everyone. So, why give in to negative impulses? Everyone should try to put order in their thoughts and feelings twenty times a day, thirty times, fifty times... and everyone should try to react only by radiating light."

"Let us suppose that you have been unfortunate enough to swallow some poison. The poison has devastating effects on your body, but as soon as the doctor gives you a powerful antidote you are saved. Because the antidote restores you to your normal state, its effects seem less dramatic to you than those of the poison, which had struck you down. But the antidote is just as powerful; more powerful even because it overcame the poison. And in the same way counterpoison annihilates poison, love eradicates hatred, light eradicates darkness, and good eradicates evil.

Good is as powerful and formidable as evil, but because we find good agreeable, we find its presence normal and devote all our attention to evil. But if you go and ask evil what it thinks of good, it will say: 'Oh, good is terrible! The beatings I've had!' Ask the dark spirits what happens when a spirit of light comes by: they scream and take fright. And because you have not seen this you do not give it another thought. To understand the power of good you need to ask evil."

"We tend to equate good with God himself. But no! Good, like evil, is only a servant of God. God is much more than good. So you must stop asking yourself why He tolerates the existence of evil. Tell yourself quite clearly that He allows everything, and He does so because He makes use of everything. And you too should know how to use both good and evil in the work you undertake, exactly like the chemist who rejects nothing because he knows how to use all the substances in his laboratory, even poisons. Everything is necessary in a laboratory. We must thus use the chemist as our model: since in our inner laboratory we possess the pure and the impure, the luminous and the obscure, that which draws us upward and that which pulls us down, we must learn to use everything in order to realize God's plans. Thank heaven for having created you as you are, and go to work."

"Much of the suffering you have to endure comes, of course, from outside yourself. And yet, the suffering inflicted on you for which you are not directly responsible is, all the same, partly your responsibility. Why? Because you have not learned how to make yourself immune to it.

If you are so vulnerable, it is because the negative elements sent you by the outside world strike a chord in you. And it may even be that the harm is magnified because of the impurities and darkness you harbour. If you tried to foster purity and light within yourself, not only would the evil be neutralized but the good you receive would become greater, too. Why, yes, if you are unable to really feel the good that comes to you every day from the visible and invisible worlds, it means that all sorts of opaque matter in you are blocking it. You see, then, how repelling evil, as well as attracting and preserving the good, all depend on you."

"Initiates teach their disciples that the number 2 is the result of the polarisation of the number 1, just as an electric socket or a magnet is made up of two poles, positive and negative. Which means that these two poles, which we think of as opposites, are in reality contained in the number 1. We call them positive and negative, or masculine and feminine, but we can also call them good and evil, provided we bear in mind that they are an expression of the 1, which is God, because they have the same origin.

There is a tradition which names Lucifer, the archangel who revolted against God, the brother of Christ. It says that when Lucifer was thrown from heaven, during the fall he lost the emerald which adorned his forehead. And from this emerald which fell to earth was fashioned the cup in which Joseph of Arimathea collected Jesus' blood at the crucifixion. It is this cup that became the Holy Grail, a symbol that has played a great role in the history of Christianity. The initiates who established this relationship between Lucifer and Christ wanted to teach us that good and evil are two poles of one and the same reality: of God Himself."

"Human beings are used to responding to evil with evil, hatred with hatred and violence with violence, but nothing good can come of this old philosophy. It is good that counters evil, love that banishes hatred and kindness that combats violence.

If evil is eventually defeated, it is because God has denied it immortality. Any hateful word or action is like a stone thrown into the air: in time it loses momentum, whereas a gentle word or an act of kindness is like a stone thrown from the top of a tower: it gradually gathers speed and power. That is the secret of good: it starts off weak but, in the end, is all-powerful. Whereas, evil starts off all-powerful but gradually loses its strength."
