Everything is for a reason
QUESTION: Masters, I am in my 50s and would like some understanding of my life lessons. I suffered abuse as a child and had a lonely childhood. I had difficulties establishing and maintaining intimacy and trust in my relationships. My partner suffered a brain injury and twice was very close to death. Throughout the marriage I felt that my partner was not able to give love and understanding and he had anger issues, and the marriage ended. Both my children and I developed major depression and we had stays in psychiatric hospitals. I am still on medication for my anxiety and depression. I was then diagnosed with heart failure, for which there is no cure. Then one of my children ended her own life. She suffered deep rejection by her father. What is the point of all this suffering? ~Luci, Australia

ANSWER: You are a very old soul who has come to Earth many times and now came to experience advanced lessons combining a lot of minor things you learned before. This is true also of your children. Each of you had different things planned for this life by way of mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges.
Some of your lessons were so intense that the energy of one of you had an impact on the others; that is why so many things repeated, such as the hospitalizations. Your major task was the discovery and understanding of love and all its aspects. This life has been a search for love and the unconditional love that is inside you, creating your essence. You have not gained a connection with this aspect of self-love, nor an acceptance of the reason you came to be a human.
When one does not have a connection to their soul, they strike out with anger or retreat into depression. Depression is merely not having any idea (or impression) of who you are. You lack a sense of your purpose and direction.
Giving up or running away through suicide, being rejected by someone you desperately want to love you, bringing diseases and illness into your life to create a dependency on others are all prime life lessons. All this human “suffering” is to gather more wisdom about finding, dealing with, and gaining knowledge of the powers and abilities you have as a soul when you will allow yourself to accept those possibilities.
