Many views of life lessons

QUESTION: Masters, I had brain damage when I was 21 and nobody knows why.  The right side of my body has been paralyzed almost 16 years ago. My hand doesn’t really work and my right foot isn’t so good either. I’m now 37. I’ve been on a spiritual path many years now and I’ve also started to be a lightworker. Some individuals have said that I will heal fully and my body will heal itself. Is there now something I have to learn before I can enjoy two fully functional hands? Or am I some example to people that I can have fun with my paralyzed body? What can I do? ~Miia, Finland

ANSWER:  You, as is true of all souls, have the power to create your own reality. For each of your incarnations, the creation process starts with planning what lessons you wish to experience during that lifetime. You make contracts with other souls to have them help you with your desires, and you help them with theirs. Every tiny action is not determined beforehand, but the major categories are set in place.

You wished to go from being physically “whole” to physically challenged in order to experience the characteristics of control and lack of control. Some friends who did not want to have the events occurring to them wished to be close by to see what the transition was like. You have fulfilled your part of the contract and been a phenomenal teacher at the same time.

What you do from here on out is up to you. You are still a fantastic example to those who come into contact with you because of your attitude and the handling of your disability. You always have the ability to change your circumstances by changing your reality—unless your initial desire was to carry these changes through to your transition. But there are no absolutes, so you could change that plan as well.

Think what wonderful work you have done for people. Your strength is constantly growing in the physical and spiritual levels. The choice is yours; what’s next for you?
