A Life of Learning

Posted by Madelaine on May 21, 2009 at 12:08pm

May 21, 2009A Life of LearningEarth SchoolLife is the province of learning, and the wisdom we acquire throughout our lives is the reward of existence. As we traverse the winding roads that lead from birth to death, experience is our patient teacher. We exist, bound to human bodies as we are, to evolve, enrolled by the universe in earth school, an informal and individualized academy of living, being, and changing. Life’s lessons can take many forms and present us with many challenges. There are scores of mundane lessons that help us learn to navigate with grace, poise, and tolerance in this world. And there are those once-in-a-lifetime lessons that touch us so deeply that they change the course of our lives. The latter can be heartrending, and we may wander through life as unwilling students for a time. But the quality of our lives is based almost entirely on what we derive from our experiences.Earth school provides us with an education of the heart and the soul, as well as the intellect. The scope of our instruction is dependent on our ability and readiness to accept the lesson laid out before us in the circumstances we face. When we find ourselves blindsided by life, we are free to choose to close our minds or to view the inbuilt lesson in a narrow-minded way. The notion that existence is a never-ending lesson can be dismaying at times. The courses we undertake in earth school can be painful as well as pleasurable, and as taxing as they are eventually rewarding. However, in every situation, relationship, or encounter, a range of lessons can be unearthed. When we choose to consciously take advantage of each of the lessons we are confronted with, we gradually discover that our previous ideas about love, compassion, resilience, grief, fear, trust, and generosity could have been half-formed.Ultimately, when we acknowledge that growth is an integral part of life and that attending earth school is the responsibility of every individual, the concept of "life as lesson" no longer chafes. We can openly and joyfully look for the blessing buried in the difficulties we face without feeling that we are trapped in a roller-coaster ride of forced learning. Though we cannot always know when we are experiencing a life lesson, the wisdom we accrue will bless us with the keenest hindsight.The Daily Om

"And of course, some excess deaths may have been underlying causes in athletes, etc, BUT, we can also observe correlations, between the vaxx rollout, the uptake (compulsory in many professions) and those people literally falling down in plain…"

"Since Vlada seems to trust the medical orthodoxy so much I wonder how many mRNA shots he took...?? It certainly tolls on him, as he muddles my response, with Movella...

And maybe the assumption that not only ourselves, here, but even the medical…"

"Well, as we already know, with regards so many matters of public interest, officialdom rarely shares any good news with us...and that applies to all nations, as it's in the nature of a limited consciousness, in office, to suppress any liberating…"

"Ok Vlada, you beg to differ with what we know to be true.. Great that’s up to you. What an achievement.

More importantly, AE was right and the more people that knew about this coverup, the more lives that could have been saved.."

"No, I did not say that at all Vlada, so at least get it right before you shoot accusations. You’ve confused me with another comment:
Drekx said: ‘I hope you value the health of clients..??’"
