“There
is a sacred aspect to our individual wounds. It is a messenger, a
teacher that has come to give us the most delicate of lessons:
forgiveness. There are messengers that are received with joy, because
they are delivered in the form of happy situations and blessed
encounters involving prosperity and achievement. But other messengers
come in the form of sadness and challenging situations such as loss,
illness, and failures. In these circumstances, our tendency is to close
ourselves up to the message. However, certain karmas only get dissolved
through difficult situations. Some of these circumstances are even
predetermined before birth. They are like sacred agreements made with
the objective of preventing the human entity from falling asleep, thus
losing the opportunity to learn in this life.”
