Doing away with life lessons

QUESTION: Masters, I wonder why I find it so difficult to translate my spiritual belief to my body and in that way to be able to let go of the bodily issues I have. For instance my itchy rash under my left foot. And why can´t I let go of the migraine I get every month. And why can´t my son let go of his heaviness? And why is it so many young people suffers from ME? (chronic fatigue)? ~Anne, Norway

ANSWER: You are asking for a way to get rid of all the indications of your life lessons without learning the reason for their presence. Negativity is the outward way for you to know you have an issue with which you have not dealt.

Spiritual growth may be undertaken while there are still lessons to be completed. It should make it easier for you to understand that each task must be handled separately. It is possible to let go of ego and judgment and still not have recognized a lesson signal in your physical being.

You are dealing also with beliefs that you feel you cannot overcome. Your foot is showing you that your movement in life is being hindered. Since the problem appears in your left foot, you are hesitating in moving forward with a project because you fear you will not succeed. The headaches are a reflection of internal balances that vacillate each month, and an indication that you feel overwhelmed with your life in general.

Your son and all the others you mentioned are facing their own difficulties. It is up to them to discover these issues and decide how to manage them, and to learn about themselves from uncovering the answers.

Have each ask: “Why am I feeling this way?” whenever a problem arises. By going into the feeling, you can arrive at the cause, which is the lesson you are trying to understand. Once you know the message, you can resolve it and not have to face it again.
